zipzap324··on DeepMind and Google: the battle to control artificial intelligence
Where did I say anything about simulating? Are you really saying that we understand nothing about how vision works?

Also a 10 second google search pulls up papers with plenty of details about vision in the brain so I don't know why you're talking about it as if its some great mystery.

A 1800 Page textbook on Vision Neuroscience. I'll leave it to HN to decide if we "Understand" Vision. Arbitrarily high requirements for understanding are being thrown about that would leave modern science in shambles if applied. https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/visual-neurosciences-2-vol-se...

~1 Exaflop leaves room for error.

This is inaccurate. We understand much of how it works, how vision, speech, etc work but we don't understand consciousness which is quite different.

Modern supercomputers are still a factor of 10 off of the brains compute power(~1 Exaflop) but I don't think anyone in the field believes that you suddenly get consciousness once you reach a critical mass of compute. It's clearly a software problem.

I think its clear that the Article is not a technical piece at all and is instead about Google and Deepmind's working relationship so I think your criticism is unwarranted. You can find great technical articles on Deepmind's website though.

zipzap324··on FBI accuses wealthy parents in college-entrance bribery scheme
Colleges can admit whoever they want for whatever reason they want, there's nothing fraudulent about that. Unfair? Obviously but certainly not fraudulent. The examples I gave however are illegal and obviously different than donations for admission.

Some of the examples were egregious, bribing Athletic Coaches to create fake profiles for the kids who weren't even athletes or paying people to take the SAT for their kids. Quite different than donating $100M for Admission.

Exactly, how many thousands of very strong engineers are there in SV and most of them are not coming up with great businesses.

>This accidents won’t harm Boeing reputation

It's already harmed and they longer they wait to take action the worse it will get. Their stock price is plummeting as we speak.
