I'm guessing because this is basically an AI for Dummies overview, while half of HN is deep in the weeds with AI already. Nothing wrong with the talk! Except his focus on "do everything" agents already feels a bit stale as the move seems to be going in the direction of limited agents with a much stronger focus on orchestration of tools and context.

I second this, for the silence at least, I listened to the talk because it was Andrew Ng and it is good or at least fun to listen to talks by famous people, but I did not walk away with any new key insights, which is fine, most talks are not that.
From the recent threads, it feels like the other half is totally, willfully ignorant. Hence the responses.
As someone who is part of that other half, I agree.

I doubt even 10% have written a custom MCP tool... and probably some who don't even know what that means
