    > They are the first who have a machine learn to solve problems that require memory. Incorrect. It was named a Neural (Turing) machine for a reason. Maybe people should go back and…

    The brain's architecture is laid bare for anyone to see. Making models of features is cheap. Anyone can do it. There are loads of white papers and benchmarks. Some approaches beat …

    Overconfident pronouncement by indicating that they are making computational models of natural processes that no one can confidently state are correct or are the most efficient? Ma…

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bio-inspired_computing Present day Neuron models lack an incredible number of functional features that are clearly present in the human brain. NTMs = …

    They're taking features that are present in the brain that aren't modeled and are making computational models for them. They're not a gold standard. You can create your own in unde…

    Decoupled Neural Interfaces using Synthetic Gradients is a fancy name for the electro-chemical gradient that lies outside the cell wall of neurons : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E…

    Alan Turing's tape machine + neuron model. In the human brain, Neurons store an incredible amount of information. Neuron models in neural networks only did so with weights. There i…

    Deep Mind was funded by Elon Musk as well as others in its earlier stages. Elon Musk is one of the individuals who speaks out as if he is wildly fearful of where Ai is going. Funda…

    There are several groups that have already done this and there are several tools similar to OpenAI gym. Why is only one company mentioned when it comes to this? You do understand t…

    I'm not attempting to be a smart arse. However, I really think you should google it :). It is too common a trend for one to latch on to popular names as if they're the only ones do…

    More should be done to highlight this. The persistent fanboy like culture, among those even in tech, which centers on only a handful of popular corporate names who serve as system …

    Not everyone has 'vision' and its hard convincing those who don't have it to see the potential in your idea before its fully formed. In cases of fundamental technology like Ai, the…

    Yes, do you know of the number of groups who are actively developing AGI? who have made steady progress over the years? I see no big names invested in them. Why would someone try t…

    Yep. "The best way to predict the future is to create it" Don't stretch your mind to far on this one. If someone or various groups develop AGI and you have no stake in them, you wi…

    You're right on many points. My observation is, when it comes to deeper Ai that trends towards AGI, the private sector seems lost in terms of the big ideas and applications. The VC…

    It's cyclical. Warren buffet classically highlighted the nature of the cycle some time ago : - The innovator, the imitator, and the idiot.. "At one point, his interviewer asked the…

    You're exactly right. If you look closely, present day A.I is modeled after the cortex. It's akin to cutting out the neo-cortex, wiring in i/o hooks, and reprogramming it to one's …

    It won't remain a taboo when someone proofs a functional computational model for it. It seems that will need to occur to silence the idea that its quackery. Nothing short of that w…

    The problem is : The industry set upon making a skyscraper from the top floor (neocortex) down and assumes they can hack together a foundation and throw up ad-hoc scaffolding on th…
