I found this incredible inspirational!

I didn't think we were going to get to intelligent machines in my lifetime. When I first started computing in the 1980s I read a book called The Soul Of A New Machine, which was the history of computing, then the future. At that time Japan was working on what was called 5th generation machines, the next level from where computers were at the time. 5th generation computers were marked as superior to 4th generation computers because they would show intelligence. The Japanese were forecasting a decade, the 1990s came and went and the goal of achieving computer intelligence seemed further away than ever, the more that was understood about the nature of the problem.

This guy has built, imo, the hub of what could be genuine computer intelligence,

I do not think either, that we will come up with intelligent machines and things like that. But I think he is making a good point how not only we can collect experimental data and look for mathematical laws governing them (top-bottom approach), but we can also go the other way around: come up with some math, work out the consequences and see what happens (bottom-top approach).

Anyway it might be bullshit what he says, but nonetheless I think it is interesting.

Have a good day everyone
