On “Visions of Future Physics”

You and the person's comment above you are missing the point. First watch : link to this video (A.I and physics) are quite related and workable ^I reference the above video not because I watched it and thought (hey that makes sense). I reference it because I already felt the same in my work on A.I and felt (wow someone else gets it) Also : link It's good to keep all sorts of working ideas/knowledge in your head when you're working towards solving a problem. All the physics experiments in the world aren't going to give you insight into problems unless you have workable ideas for how to integrate the findings into understanding/knowledge. What people often error in is that you can keep hacking away at…

On “OpenAI technical goals”

I find it really interesting that Goal 4 is a game playing agent. Deepmind has been focussing on this since the beginning0 and actually has great progress as far as Atari games go1. And DeepMind is able to use a single agent rather than a different specific one for each game. I wonder if OpenAI wants to go in a different direction although RL has considerable success. Whereas the other goals definitely need a lot of work before they are "real-world" functional, especially Goal 3. But of course that depends on their definition of 'useful'. 0: link to this video 1: link
