Okay, "baseless" then. "It's easy [that's the baseless claim], we just haven't gotten around to it [which tends to point to the task not actually being easy]."

Okay, "baseless" then. "It's easy [that's the baseless claim], we just haven't gotten around to it [which tends to point to the task not actually being easy]." In my opinion, this is the same class of "easy" that AI researchers have been chasing for half a century now, and the end goal always seems to be juuust out of reach - in other words, seems easy but isn't.
- mikeash 8y agoI didn’t say it’s easy. My point is merely that current systems are horribly flawed and the needs to be kept in mind when evaluating the flaws of the new systems. The fact that neural net systems are hard to understand and have no systematic design is not necessarily a blocker.
- Piskvorrr 8y agoNot a blocker, but an eventual solution needs to come up with a meaningful comparison metric - the ones referred to now are meaningless ("no crashes except for things that are not counted as crashes under our definition, which doesn't look suspiciously circular").
