Hmmm.... I just watched the video. There is nothing new there. Demis describes Deep Mind's well-known work on RL and video games, and then mentions their (already published) work on Neural Turing Machines...
It's a fine talk presenting good work, but nothing significant seems to be mentioned beyond what has already been published and publicized previously... I think this is good stuff, but none of their *results* look anywhere close to human-level AGI; and the design details that they've disclosed don't come anywhere near to being a comprehensive design for an AGI... Of course, 100 smart guys working together toward pure & applied AGI, with Google's resources at their disposal, is nothing to be sneered at.... But let's not overblow what they've achieved so far... -- Ben On Wed, Oct 21, 2015 at 11:45 AM, Eric J <[email protected]> wrote: > OK.... why hasn't everyone been all over this?
