If the hypothesis this article is aiming to strike down is that there is currently a clear path to solving AGI, then it's simply fighting a potential misconception of the masses. The reality is that recent advances in AI, while not pro

Perhaps it's unavoidable, but there are large swaths of relevant literature missing from this survey. In particular there is not a single mention of the non-convex Burer-Monteiro method for solving semidefinite programs, a pretty widel

The process of autonomy, at every time instant, may be broken down into the following: 1) sensor observation, 2) perception, 3) intent modeling, 4) path planning, 5) control action. 1) Sensor observation is the collection of video, radar, L

Assuming the association between high IQ and various mental/physical disorders is true (evidence for which has been shown in several scientific studies), there seems to be a simple explanation: the hidden variable is gene networks whic

The ratio of explore /exploit depends on what your goals are. If it's just to bang out a PhD in applied ML then perhaps, but if you're in it for the long haul it's well worth it. It would unlock a whole bunch of researc

"Learning all the advanced math within a few years is a hopeless endeavour." Not in my experience. It's possible to get the equivalent of a bachelors and masters in math within two years (which is enough to overcome the issue

Based on your post, I highly recommend taking a year or two off to focus on math only. You can get the equivalent of a bachelors and masters in pure math in just two years (if that's all you're doing with your time), and it would

The DARPA grand challenges were an important step for autonomy, by demonstrating basic capabilities and bringing attention and industry funding to the field, but overhyping the expertise gained there may have held the field back over the ye

The only advantage Facebook has in entering an entirely new space is capital, which is not a unique advantage. The unique advantage they have of modifying their social media platform, is that they have by far the largest platform, and if th

If Facebook easily replicating that same feature is enough to significantly hurt the smaller competitor, was it really innovation in the first place?

I was mostly disputing the claim about data advantages, which often gets thrown around willy nilly to favor big corporations, because it fundamentally goes against the nature of where AI is heading. I am not disputing that having more finan

Sorry, but you are incorrect on both accounts. 1) AlphaGo Zero was indeed trained in the way I mention. 2) As directly quoted from the article, Hinton believes that a better way of learning doesn't require all that labeled data. If suc

This article is using false assumptions about AI to back up its narrative. "AI doesn’t just require top-tier talent; that talent is all but useless without mountains of the right kind of data. And who has essentially all of the best da

1) The feedback loop is not just being filmed on the job, but the repercussions of being filmed while doing something illegal and being punished for it. It might take time for this to sink in, especially for the bad apples. 2) Having body c

As an expert in both the umbrella of methods known as compressed sensing and more recently deep learning, my opinion is that these techniques are largely complementary. Deep learning is fantastic at for instance building appearance models a

Lol, Paul Erdos was 82 in 1995, which is when Vazsonyi claims they had this conversation, a year before Erdos died. Beyond his advanced age, it's well known that he did amphetamines his whole life and by that point his brain was pretty

I don't buy this at all : "Despite its deceptive simplicity, some of the world’s brightest minds -- MIT professors, renowned mathematicians, and MacArthur “Genius” Fellows -- have had trouble grasping its answer." The intuiti
