Awesome. Now to just get a couple LIDAR cameras...

Based on what goes on in every cell in our bodies when it comes to the information processing involved with DNA, I don't think there is any such algorithm which is fundamentally not realizable in biology. I'll grant you, I don't think biological neurons are calculating derivatives across connection strengths, but there must be some analogous process to control neural connection strengths.

When an implementation of AGI comes around (yes, it will come around) it will inevitably involve a number of different neural nets working together in concert as separate subsystems. That's what makes these "Neural Nets Will Never Become Conscious!" articles so hilarious.

But yeah, I could see feeding the output of an array of sub-networks into a parent network. So think one NN for vision, one for hearing, etc, etc, all of those outputs feed into a parent level network that could be your abstraction network that deals with making executive level decisions.

How do you know your brain's not minimizing a loss function?

Pretty interesting that he says reasoning and long term planning are impossible tasks for a neural net, when those tasks are done by billions of neural nets every day. :^)

I imagine the AI of the future will have a good laugh when it stumbles onto this thread. If it can laugh...

What are people going to do when AI learns to write alarmist click-baity blog posts?

Once people come up with a way to have a computer think abstractly it's just a matter of linking together a bunch of different subsystems. Your brain works the same way (try getting your visual cortex to come up with your next tic-tac-toe move).

The only problems I'm interested in solving today are the ones that will make me rich enough that I don't have to work when the robots take over.
Shouldn't we be researching ways to terraform Mars from afar rather than ship a couple humans to go live in the middle of red rocks for a few decades and then die?

Re:How MTA shut down my app for Penn Station commuters on Wednesday July 12, 2017 @10:35AM (#14752823)
Yeah, it seems obvious that they purposely don't assign the track until the last minute for a good reason, so of course they'd want to shut down any software to try and circumvent that system.
"looses"

Enough.

Just make sure not a forget a very important phrase: ignorance is bliss.
Go to bed, ny times reporter.
You must live in CA.
Yet none of those same people have an issue with taking their phone out of their pocket constantly and glancing at it which has... a camera on the front! But I could see the issue of never knowing whether or not the glass camera is recording and whether that recording is going to wind up on youtube.
Here sir, have an internet.

He didn't ask, "What cheese goes best with fruit?" he said "goes well with fruit." So Google's answer is technically more correct. The best kind of correct.

Lol, you can't even ask Siri to play a song on Spotify so you can forget about that. Anyway at that point why do you want to play telephone with chatbots? Just get an android phone.

How much do they pay you?
The best part is that we haven't yet seen a half of a percent of what AI's are capable of. Strap on your seat-belts because Kansas is going bye-bye.

Doesn't Google Hangouts let you do this? Is the average home connection not good enough for hangouts?
