One project was to implement a simple Q-learning action/value system to play simple games, like Pacman.
The crypto-bros-turned-AGI-experts on twitter are spouting the most uninformed, misguided garbage about this whole thing, it's quite amazing to watch.
And I'm not saying that I am smart or an expert about Q* because I took an introductory college course. I'm saying that even I, someone who knows basically nothing beyond the introductory concept can identity that these people have no clue what they are talking about, and yet the have this incredible talent of speaking in such an authoritative and faux-intelligent tone. It's amazing.
My favorites are the tweets that sound like this:
"So, now we know that [insert something totally wrong]. Well, what if extend that further, by [another totally wrong conclusion]. Here's an explanation of how this all works. A thread, 1/N"
followed by a full thread, images included, of drivel.
