      Gary Marcus Retweeted Joscha Bach

      Funny quote below, but who in the ML community called BS on Sam Altman when he said re: OpenAI in July that "he and his team of researchers hope to build artificial general intelligence, or A.G.I., a machine that can do anything the human brain can do"? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/22/technology/open-ai-microsoft.html …https://twitter.com/Plinz/status/1194403722563993600 …

      Gary Marcus added,

      Joscha Bach @Plinz
      @GaryMarcus seems to live in a universe where almost everyone claims that they try to build AGI but they don't do it right (the way he says), where as I live in a universe where almost nobody tries to build AGI (including @GaryMarcus!), and almost everyone says it is impossible.

      Replying to @GaryMarcus

      Sam Altman got a lot of flak from ML folks for that, despite this having been OpenAI’s mission from the start. I believe that he really intends to do it, yet at the moment, most of the OpenAI folks seem to still think that most progress can be made in ML.

      i am just trying to show that you some pretty visible, well funded teams with lots of employees certainly claim that they are pursuing AGI; DeepMind has also often portrayed itself as trying to solve intelligence. you made it sound like I was making it up.

          The Sutskever quote represents a viable hypothesis (text prediction may lead towards language understanding), even if I don't agree with it. The Forbes interpretation (an almost good enough fake may demonstrate understanding) is going too far.

          Claiming that perfect symbol prediction leads to understanding of what the symbol represents equals asserting that all experienced physical world properties are reflected on those symbols; which is a very bold and utterly false
