AI is not new
1956
A summer workshop on “thinking machines.” Dartmouth College · McCarthy, Minsky, Shannon & co.
“A machine as intelligent as a human — within a generation.”
Millions spent. Then the first AI winter.
Ever since —
Hype → money → disappointment, on repeat.
The record —
The same cycle, over and over: hype → money → disappointment → the money dries up.
So, honestly —
is this summer any different?
