The screen resolution issue seems to stem from the fact that I've locked the book to a 16:9 aspect ratio, and I'm still working on it. Thank you for sharing it as well!

Huh... I didn't know about this! But FYI I only wrote the no refund policy as a means to prevent/discourage refund abuse, as the product is only available digitally. I have however refunded two people who have requested a refund.

I believe "the society of mind" contains a bunch of really good but unorganized ideas for building intelligent models, but was written in such a way that it remained virtually impossible to implement them into a working program. M

I believe before claiming AGI is possible or impossible, one would need to define the operational features as well as the properties of what an AGI system is or can do. The primary problem with modern day ML research is that all of the folk

While I agree with Prof.Marcus' ideas on the limitations of deep learning, I still don't think neurosymbolic approaches are sufficient for a generalized AI agent. I think a unified cognitive architecture might be necessary based o

Minsky's subsequent book called "the emotion machine" probably has some of the most complete treatments of topics like intelligence, understanding and consciousness.

As a former structural engineer, I completely agree with this sentiment. For every engineering project I was involved in, the automated components were at most 2 to 5% of the rest of the work.

I had it in August, just two days after getting vaccinated. Headaches, fever and body aches continued for three days after which I had complete loss of taste and smell for about a month. I don't know about you guys, but not being able

With regards to fallacy #2 in fact, it is the other way around, I. E. "Easy things are hard" also known as Moravec's paradox. The symbolic AI generation always assumed that really hard problems like language understanding cou

This theory reminds me of Marvin Minsky's "society of mind" theory where multiple agents/parts of a certain brain center encode the same object/concept in different ways and have a vote/suppress mechanism for

HAL from 2001 seems to be the most grounded in reality, as you could actually sense some how some of its advanced capabilities might be implemented even today, not to mention Marvin Minsky and IBM were advisors to Kubrick. While I really li

Yes. But I don't think we've millions of years to make that happen nor do we have the capabilities or the knowledge to create the environmental situations that could potentially reinforce these mutations.

Adding to the fact that thousands of tricks are involved in the resourcefulness of the human brain and that each trick has multiple ways to interact with other tricks or modify itself . Duplicating this feat into machines isn't a simpl

I wonder if it was possible to use Hinton's idea of local features (where a 3 is recognized as an E in a 180 rotation map and a W in 90 deg. rotation map) to make the recognition partially rotation invariant....
