Isn't there room for both? Shouldn't we present our work within our own community, but also make efforts to share our ideas with others?
Yes, I do this by writing popular articles about computer-chess and games programming. The point of concern is: One is only considered important if one considers ones one work as important. Sometimes I have the feeling that academic researchers are a little bit ashamed that they do not do something more serious, important. And they hide then their work behind a more serious title/topic and vocabulary. E.g. J. Schaeffer & Donsky wrote "Falling from Grace". Both made important contributions to computer-chess. But in this article they blamed themself, that its their own (and the communities) fault that they have fallen from AI-Grace. But isn't it the problem of AI when the concepts do not work? Why didn't they wrote an article "The concepts of AI are bullshit?" Feng Hsu was the first one who did this. He was proud enough about his work. Chrilly
