When the software world wants to build stuff that works, it still mostly uses stuff that innately incorporates symbol-manipulation. Can someone please show me an operating system, a word processor, a spreadsheet or scaleable DB that is built with neural networks and no symbols?https://twitter.com/tyrell_turing/status/1003313227852181504 …

I’ll see you you’re silly challenge and raise you. Show me one of the major platforms that runs the world: Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, that doesn’t use neural nets.
if you can rebuild any of those major platforms w end to the end nets and no symbol-manipulation let me know.

Of course, given the universality of computing, and given enough time and parts, I could implement http://google.com with TinkerToys. But that would be pretty stupid, which is why good old classical symbolic von Neumann machines dominate.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

What kind of symbol manipulation do chimps, dogs and corvids do? You're delusional, Marcus, if you think symbol manipulation has any role to play in AGI. BTW, you're not the first to realize that DL will not lead to AGI. Many of us have known this long before it became popular.

Then call me delusional as well. We didn’t build faster vehicles by dissecting horses and replicating their physiology.
