In the "Well, duhhh" department -- OpenAI finds evolution distributed strategies outperform neural nets for reinforcement learning in test problems,
https://blog.openai.com/evolution-strategies/ -- Ben Goertzel, PhD http://goertzel.org “Our first mothers and fathers … were endowed with intelligence; they saw and instantly they could see far … they succeeded in knowing all that there is in the world. When they looked, instantly they saw all around them, and they contemplated in turn the arch of heaven and the round face of the earth. … Great was their wisdom …. They were able to know all.... But the Creator and the Maker did not hear this with pleasure. … ‘Are they not by nature simple creatures of our making? Must they also be gods? … What if they do not reproduce and multiply?’ Then the Heart of Heaven blew mist into their eyes, which clouded their sight as when a mirror is breathed upon. Their eyes were covered and they could see only what was close, only that was clear to them.” — Popol Vuh (holy book of the ancient Mayas) ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
