Great man theory needs to be strangled and put to rest.

#3Why do people think they can build anything worthy of the name "AI" by just fucking around with neural networks instead of by specifying exactly what sort of models and exactly what sort of inference constitute "intelligence" in the first place?
It's like trying to build an airplane by studying hang-gliders instead of aerodynamics.

It will take a visionary with rare courage and skill to put the Great Man theory to rest.

I thought it already was put to rest by nautil.us http://nautil.us/issue/21/information/the-man-who-tried-to-r...
In summary, 1000+ IQ man will discover life is illogical and depressing. He won't do much good when he's so depressed.

Because we're at such a basic level in our understanding of how intelligence works that these crude hang-glider models are our best way to learn the basics.
AI researchers spent decades trying to formulate definitions and models purely theoretically, and it turned out those theories were not super useful in building out modeling real systems. The toy models are essential.

The Wright brothers started off by building gliders before they built the first airplane. So why is this approach the wrong one?

Damnit that was depressing.

Baby steps.
