I’m very late to the party on this post but wanted to say that I found it useful to know better how recent AI advances were made and find out they seem pretty unlikely to get us AGI soon (I’m drawing that conclusion based on additional info).
My expectation is that we won’t be getting close until we can figure out how to make recurrent networks succeed at unsupervised learning since that is the nearest analogue in ML to how brains work (to the best of my knowledge).
