  Agreed, but my claim is exactly that we are obviously far from that. In fact, all current training methods work only on very precisely defined problems. Both the relevant inputs and desired outputs must be very precisely defined, and come in rather small numbers, for any success with current methods. Trying to use the existing methods on a problem as open as living in the world would require so much computing power, and so many petabytes of training data (not that we would know how to generate this training data, a hard problem in itself, regardless of scale), that hardly anyone is even attempting it.

    yeah i think we are in agreement about current methods. i guess my real hypothesis is that there are more people than ever looking at AI. we don't have the right algorithm or framework yet, and currently models probably wont iterate to it. but a hard takeoff when we do find it is practically inevitable, in my opinion. i think AI experts are limited to thinking in terms of the field as it is, or where it will be in less than five years, not what will happen when somebody stumbles on the right model.
