I went to check out the Carmack talk about his company and research on AI and what he is doing now. Then I saw that he looks like he has put on 20lbs of muscle. He is no longer just using the brain muscle but also the arm and chest muscle too.





Welcome to his TED Talk.
 
I watched this last night. Really puts the obstacles of implementing AI in perspective, especially for those who believe we are only a few years away from the "singularity"
 
Fun Fact:

His father was an anchor for a local news channel in the 80s, Stan Carmack. I used to watch him growing up. When I found out his son was the legendary John Carmack, I was completely blown away.

He was also raised just a few miles from me.
 
Their project is cool. They have a self teaching AI robot play Atari 2600 games on an off the shelf gaming laptop and only need a webcam to provide feedback.

Highlights - the robots destroyed the controllers in one day at first by sperging out and pressing buttons randomly 24/7
Even the most advanced AI can't figure out a game it doesn't have a priori knowledge of.
Determining what a win condition is in a classic arcade game is almost impossible because they all just repeat endlessly and eventually become too hard to progress in.
Open ended games like Pitfall are essentially impossible with current AI tech.

They have made a lot of progress, but it shows how limited and fake most AI advancement really is, or rather how fake the language game that AI plays really is.
 
he's my favorite fucking nerd

Didn't know you fucked a lot of nerds

It's not hard to see the family resemblance (in this timestamped video)
