Very well makes the point on why general AI or good conversational bots are nowhere in sight with neural networks. It's just freaking hard to push general knowledge into those networks... Also there's the limit of not having a body and not feeling pain. This is indeed still a requirement to learn things and give them meaning.

Excellent series about work sample tests during interviews. Definitely good food for thought in there, I already changed how I was doing a few things with it and what I tested worked nicely so far.
