"On the other hand, Brooks doesn't show any indication he knows what Musk is talking about" Not quite true: "Tell me, what behavior do you want to change, Elon?"

Consciousness has a specific meaning - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia

I like your comment. The real question is whether they are conscious. The analogy between deep neural networks and the brain has proven to be very fruitful. Other analogies may as …

The brain is a dynamic system and (some) neural networks are also dynamic systems, and a three layer neural network can learn to approximate any function. Thus, a neural network ca…

That's not how it works.

An interesting technicality from the post and paper is that the measure of causal information (mutual information between the initial and final state) bears some resemblence to the…

That's not deep enough for my tastes.

Is fitness emergent, or fundamental? If you didn't discuss this, you should add another year to your PhD!

The word explore is actually great in a data analysis context. The notions of exploratory vs confirmatory analysis are widely used, and exploratory means exactly what your students…

In my opinion you are overconfident in the foundations of mathematics. Like deep learning models, math works. Why and how does it work? It's open to interpretation in both cases. I…

"However, these models are largely big black-boxes. There are a lot of things we don’t understand about them." This describes geometry as well as it describes deep learning.

You have NO idea what you're talking about man. Don't believe the hype. Deep learning has ALWAYS been popular and a very active field, since the mid 80s.

This is an excellent syllabus by Professor Dave Touretzky, a pioneer in deep learning. He started the Connectionists mailing list and was heavily involved in the early days of NIPS…
