@NandoDF @ilyasut @woj_zaremba @OpenAI none of this is new. the work is always excellent, the framing frequently over the top, and misleading.

the Rubik’s work IS great (as I noted below)—BUT the PR fits an ongoing @OpenAI pattern, of:
1. making deep R learning sound omnipotent when it’s not
2. minimizing value of innate contributions
3. minimizing value of symbols
4. making small advances seem larger than they arehttps://twitter.com/GaryMarcus/status/1185680538335469568 …

what do you make of https://openai.com/blog/emergent-tool-use/ … ? The visuals are obviously somewhat embellished (and very cute), but the effort. lends itself to talk of innateness more readily, I’d suggest

In this new world of information overload, is embellishing with sophisticated CGI videos or well-scripted Youtube videos a bad thing? The deep learning revolution is happening and it shouldn't be ignored. What percentage of the masses have heard of "deep learning"?

Are suggesting now that organizations that promote their research should now have disclaimers written in fine-print?

No need for fine print. Just say the AI learned to do dextrous manipulation - not that it learned to solve the Rubik's cube.

The distinction between *actual* (and impressive) achievement and PR hype is key. Everyone who's likely to be impacted by gov and commercial implementations (i.e.. everyone) should be concerned about how this tech is presented and explained.

I think people who are not in the field would indeed feel this way but this is no small advance. They haven’t amplified importance of DeepRL. Make robot hand do this stuff with symbols or without using RL and I will eat this tweet back. Time to get head out of the sand.

read the full tweet stream, or just Google, people have been building robots to solve cubes for years.
