      Despite what it seems, I think ML might be suffering from everyone focusing on the local maxima of backprop-trained affine transforms (CNNs/LSTM/etc). The space of possible approaches is vast, and although this one has turned out to work okay, many alternatives remain possible

      If thousands of researchers dedicate their efforts to making incremental improvements to a given technique, it's bound to progress and succeed (within its fundamental limits). But you could have seen similar progress if the same resources had been invested in a different paradigm

      I think science moves faster when many different approaches are competing, not when everyone agrees on what works best.

          It's a pity so many of science's institutions are designed to pick winners, rather than pick hedged portfolios.

          also perverse incentivies around grants often channel people towards research with high propability of payoff not high risk. Same issue in VC. As such portfolio model will have similar issues.

          if everyone agrees on a approach, its well understood, then in my opinion they are now doing engineering ;-) Nothing wrong with engineering though

          Exploration vs exploitation. Sounds familiar.

          Here there is a high cost on the first exploration :P So you better start by exploitation and if that's working, no need to explore haha

          Diversification of minds = more chances of finding something interesting/different.

          Maybe connectomics will show us a different way. Neuroscience leading the AI revolution.

          Ties back to the core issue, too. A better approach to AI will reflect this dynamic clearly and in a simple fashion. And the proponents of less capable approaches don’t want to hear that. :-)
