Skynet Today – accessible and informed coverage of AI hype and panic
- andreyk 9y agoCreator here! I and my collaborators are very excited to be doing this project, as AI hype has really gotten out of hand (even right here on HN sometimes). Yann LeCun endorsing us a few days back meant a great deal. Feel free to ask anything!
- p1esk 9y agoWhich direction in AI is most promising towards AGI, in your opinion (regardless of the hype it receives)?
- andreyk 9y agoI'd say a hybrid of reinforcement learning, meta-learning, neural net structure evolution, and Google's sparsely gated outrageously large neural nets (https://arxiv.org/abs/1701.06538 https://arxiv.org/abs/1701.06538). I have a new long essay on RL and meta-learning that addresses some of this coming out soon, keep an eye out!
- robotsandml 9y agoWhat do you think are the main drivers for the hype? (Some that come to mind -- lack of understanding of AI, fear-mongering, deluge of published papers in academia without peer review...) And how are ways we can more realistically understand the state of AI/potential of it?
- flyingswift 9y agoThis looks great! Any interesting articles that you have in the pipeline?
- sharonzhou 9y agoThis looks really cool and relevant. Following.
