Sorry @openai, “To reach AGI, we need major breakthroughs... it’s not a matter of simply throwing more money at the problem.” For more, see ft.com/content/c96e43be-b4df… by @RichardWaters

The billion-dollar bet to reach human-level AI

OpenAI believes that huge computing power is key driver

Actually we’re probably much more in agreement than you think. Compute is necessary but not sufficient. See also: mobile.twitter.com/gdb/statu…

I never said that. Headline misquotes me. The article states my position clearly: "Mr Brockman is wary about predicting precisely when AGI will arrive, and said that it would also require advances in the algorithms to make use of the massive increase in computing power."

(And e.g. that’s why @ilyasut and I are spending our time working on Reasoning: mobile.twitter.com/gdb/statu….)

.@ilyasut and I, together with awesome OpenAI coworkers, are starting a new team: the Reasoning team. Many people think deep networks are inherently unable to reason — we'll find out! We're looking for a great people manager to join us. Interested? Email me: gdb@openai.com.

At this point of affairs there should be something concrete on the table to back the investments. The strategic approach is either centered in DL and more compute or in new algorithmic ideas; it cannot be ‘let’s start thinking about it’. There must be a tentative timeframe too...
Replying to @gdb @etzioni @RichardWaters
Modulo any disagreement about how to get there, are there mutually agreed upon criteria for what should constitute AGI? Do @openai @allen_ai @DeepMindAI and others agree on how to evaluate a system for AGI?
