almost always agree w @you fchollet but don’t see why you think either driving approach here will succeed on its own, nor why symbolic systems necessarily need to be mostly handcrafted. please explain...https://twitter.com/fchollet/status/1003440490472075264 …

1) I say at the end of the thread that the successful approach (currently and for the foreseeable future) consists of systems that blend symbolic world models with deep learning perception modules. The core of such systems is symbolic though, the ML is peripheral.
2) Symbolic cognitive systems (and most software in general) doesn't *have* to be handcrafted. In the future most software will be generated. When our ML algorithms start getting good at abstraction. For now, our models just aren't conducive to abstraction.
