um, wasn’t that close to my assessment, too? i wrote “the system is (very impressively) trained to do the perception and manual dexterity parts, but cube solving algorithm itself is innate, and symbolic, not acquired via training.”

you are getting warmer, yes. it was certainly a seriously misleading piece for DRL, which is what they mostly work on. since they have become a private company, they stand to make money from that misrepresentation. isn’t that what hype is about?
To repeat, they have made their best known technique seem like it did something that it did not do, distorting both investment and academic world. [We can try to discuss in a call; no point in my repeating myself here further in public.]
