What about what about
Given enough time, energy, and computing power, you could just precompute every possible outcome and call it a neural network. You'll be praised as a genius.
- philipkglass 9y agoThis is like saying "given enough time, energy, and computing power, you could just factor large semiprimes by exhaustive search." It's both true and uninteresting because nobody has or ever will have that much time, energy, and computing power.
- chillee 9y agoAh yes, I forgot. Deepmind just secretly computed all 10^100 board states for alphago... Neural nets have been very successful for a lot of things while also being overhyped, but dismissing it all as marketing hype is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
