I’m going slightly off-topic but couldn’t help but notice that your website says that you’re doing this in your spare time. I’m surprised that you’ve covered so much ground. If you don’t mind me the question—how do you keep abreast of the AI field with so many papers published every year? Like do you attend periodic meet-ups in your circle of friends/colleagues to discuss such matters? do you opt to read summaries of papers instead of the long paper?
Oh, there are infinity papers on AI per month. I couldn’t dream of reading them all. Does anyone?
I think I’m at least vaguely aware of what the ML people are all talking about and excited about, through twitter.
Mainstream ML papers tend to be pretty low on my priority list compared to computational neuroscience, and neuroscience in general, and of course AGI safety and strategy.
Learning is easier when you have specific questions you’re desperately trying to answer :-)
Beyond that, I dunno. I don’t watch TV, and I quit my other hobbies to clear more time for this one. It is a bit exhausting sometimes. Maybe I should take a break. Oh but I do really want to write up that next blog post! And the one after that… :-)
