I’ve been working to gain an implementation-oriented understanding “systems that learn” for many years. The hard parts of AI seem to me more like philosophy problems than math problems, so I’ve worked on the philosophy on my own and with friends via reading and conversation while sharpening programming skills professionally as a day job. For example, I’ve kept intellectual tabs on Hutter since 2002 and Eliezer since 2003. I’m not really comfortable talking about algorithms too much, but there are serious game theoretic reasons to coordinate with other people working on similar projects, and this seems like the best place on the english speaking internet to find some of them.
