Yep. I spend a not insignificant amount of my time on this. I don't feel like sitting here and typing up a massive essay on what I've been doing, and it's not like I'm at a place where I have any particularly interesting results to share anyway. I just have a lot of speculation, a pile of books taller than Mt. Everest (or so it seems), a bunch of electronics, and time to burn. That said, I've written a modest amount about my AI interests here on HN in the past. Feel free to trawl through my comment history[1] if you're curious. The most salient post I made was probably this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32868680 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32868680 Going forward I'll be posting AI related thoughts at a couple of places: - Fogbeam Labs AI Blog - https://aiblog.fogbeam.com - Twitter - https://twitter.com/mindcrime - https://twitter.com/Bosworth_AI - Mastodon - mindcrime@fosstodon.org Follow along if you'd like. Note that I am not making any claim to be any kind of genius AI researcher, and I don't have any "magic sauce" per-se. I do have some fairly specific ideas about angles to pursue and lines of research, all of which might eventually lead to something, or it could all be absolutely useless. But I will say that what I'm doing is (mostly) at least rooted in / based on somewhat established ideas / principles taken from ML, earlier AI research, cognitive science, neuroscience, etc. I might be effectively a crackpot in the end, but I'd like to think that I'm not just a crackpot. :-) I'm just somebody who is more comfortable working independently and doing things my own way, than working in formal academia. But I don't ignore mainstream research at all.
