I love the idea of cognitive AI. I've dabbled with OpenCog https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCog , and in my youth I read "Artificial General Intelligence (2005)" by Ben Goertzel and I was really convinced. But it seems like... cognitive AI hasn't paid off? Big & deep Neural Nets are the type of ML/AI that are achieving milestones in learning, gameplay…

on “Ask HN: How close are we, really, to general AI?” ↗> what AGI has always meant. Reading wikipedia about history of the term, it sounds like term was popularized by this book: https://www.amazon.com/Artificial-General-Intelligence-Cogni... which says that general means "ability so solve variety of tasks in variety of domains", not "all tasks in all domains". So "always meant" is easily challengeable here.
on “Open AI in Trouble” ↗…this should be re-stated that a group of respected researchers have revived Artificial Intelligence's original ambitions. In fact, there have been a handful of folks thinking and working on Strong AI/Artificial General Intelligence steadily for years. Ben Goertzel even started the conference [1] and journal [2] in 2008. One of the biggest things I see in every one of these conversations and threads is everyone assuming humans are…
