Sorry for being snarky, but I think at least some LW readers should gradually notice to what extent is the stuff analyzed here mirroring the predictive processing paradigm, as a different way how to make stuff which acts in the world. My guess is the big step on the road in this direction are not e.g. ‘complex wrappers with simulated agents’, but reinventing active inference… and also I do suspect it’s the only step separating us from AGI, which seems like a good reason why not to try to point too much attention in that way.
