the work itself is actually great. but the PR fits an ongoing pattern 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 are 2/2

Good point. Perhaps the PR thinking here is to make the research as relatable as possible, believing people in general won't recognise manipulation is much harder for machines than cube solving. But the reality is far more interesting - opportunity to enlighten totally missed.

And what’s even more fun to think about.... it’s even harder to invent the Rubik’s cube. Why no research ever takes on inventing hard to do puzzles, solving those puzzles and teaching others. Humans do this a lot. But our bots aren’t even close to inventing games we wanna play.

Also what does "solve" mean? Figure out the algorithm through images that lead from one state to another (for humans the "clear" state). That has nothing to do with robot hands.

Honestly, i find a lot of your posts needlessly antagonistic and vague, but you nailed it here. This is the kind of weaponized disinformation campaign that hurts the real science and is starting to be a specialty at
@OpenAI. Their ethics team needs to have a chat with PR.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
