    The reinforcement learning ones are SO common. When I worked on autonomous tech a while ago, I remember constantly trying to tweak my reward function because of the agent learning …

    This is so cool. How did you build this? How did you train your net? Does it even use a net? I'd love to know about how this works!

    I was just giving you an example of memories that would not be evolutionary beneficial to retain. Obviously that ex gf/suicide was an anecdote to our imperfect memory retention, an…

    That's interesting.. so you mean that human memory is not bugged and perfect from an evolutionary perspective? Isn't it also arguable that retention of trauma is inherently bad fro…

    Depends on the traumatic memory, hence the idea that we've probably optimized for remembering everything rather than the events that have evolutionary advantage. I.e Why should I r…

    Ask HN: What do you think of the idea that human memory is bugged?

    What if the fact that we cannot erase bad memories/traumatic experiences is actually a bug in the optimization process of our own neural network, which decided to converge at a loc…

    Ok, I see. I do have a demo setup on my website though. Should I still pursue the demo video route? Perhaps YouTube advertising?
