Nobel, Physics, Machine learning

TL;DR -- Good old machine learning gets some respect. That is good news. 

--

New directions pend. We have talked AIn't for a while. There's no critter in the buckets of bits. There may be patterns. Now, the Nobel Prize folks say that this is physics and a result of its mathematics. 

Okay, that's great. We argued anyway that the focus ought not be intelligence which goes with life, and its study - biology, as far as we know. We stressed the mathematical connectsions, but having physics now in the game improves the chance of lifting awareness to things that matter. 


So, this post goes with our technology focus which we are trying to define and foster.

  1. I heard Hinton on the radio after he won -- he was very surprised by the award! His main discussion point was that we need to be careful with this technology -- in case it advances beyond us and decidest to takeover.

    1. He isn't mathematically inclined like many people. And, mathematics is not the sole road to truth. ... So, how do we show that no critter is gonna pop out of the bucket of bits?
