@New_scientist no it can't. Your blurb is literally "if we had data we can't have, we could predict weather better". DeepMind is irrelevant in that statement--anyone could.

@xuu Right now they're laying the groundwork for uncritical belief in the power of #AI, so the next step will be accepting the magical incantations as if they were real.
