Would you say Yudkowsky’s views are a mischaracterisation of neural network proponents, or that he’s mistaken about the power of loose analogies?
Neither.
I don’t know what proponents were claiming when proponing neural networks. I do know that neural networks ended up working, big time.
I don’t think loose analogies are powerful. I think they lead to sloppy thinking.
