Sadly, I was only able to count through a vanishingly small subset of the reals in a finite time, and therefore am not a general intelligence, and so it would be foolish of me, a machine made of a handful of atoms, to try to criticize this paper. It sure would be nice if I could appreciate music, but you've proven that's impossible, so it is what it is.
- xamuel 6y agoWhether man is machine can't be trivially answered using a few handwavy applications of Godel's theorem nor of observations about the structure of the reals. My paper does not make any attempt to weigh on that question, neither does it claim nor imply that humans have any supernatural powers of enumerating reals or ordinals, and you grossly misrepresent me by implying it does. Rather, my paper is on the less ambitious question of whether the traditional RL model (with its real-valued rewards) accurately captures the full set of reward-giving environments an AGI should be capable of comprehending.
