AI today is comparable to physics in the 1700s. Back then, it was a bunch of people tinkering with prisms and apples. Today, it's a bunch of people tinkering with hyperparameters. I suspect that we know as little about AGI today as someone in the 1700s knew about QFT. Not only did they not know about QFT, but they didn't even know that they didn't know it.

- codingslave 7y agoYeah, weird to think that todays newton could be seen on Joe Rogans Podcast talking about the future of gaming
- toxik 7y agoIt would fit, Newton was apparently quite insufferable in social settings — Carjack has a stroke of that
- TremendousJudge 7y agoWouldn't be out of place -- Newton worked on alchemy, teology and managed the Royal Mint
- Iv 7y agoToo many people make this mistake of conflating machine learning with AI. I hope someone as external to the field as Carmack will see the value of rule based inference as well. The Good Old Fashioned AI as it used to be called
