I'm positively surprised to see so much sense coming out of #Google #Deepmind, for a change. What's going on?A guess? Critihype: hype of their viewpoints and methods clothed in what appears to be criticism, in hopes that people like us spread it (thereby achieving the goal of hyping themselves). Google has regularly done just this for roughly two decades at this point. I won't read corporate PR wrapped in a lab coat from such clearly compromised labs with obvious, deep conflicts of interest. However, that'd be my guess. A lot of these folks fight amongst themselves about whether AGI is possible, whether doom or utopia will result from attempts at creating it, and other religious nonsense.

I've made a closely related argument earlier:

There are good logical and organizational reasons why living beings are sentient, but algorithmic systems can never be.
I haven't read it, and I probably wont, but I find the claim by #Google #DeepMind that they have created #AI that can solve International Mathematical Olympiad problems to be really low. Coming from an industry that hasn't been especially high-minded or prosocial, this stands out for me as especially cringeworthy.
The International Mathematical Olympiad is for high school students. Children, basically. How are you in your multi-trillion-dollar tech company going around bragging that your computer is better at math than high school kids?
It's like an adult looking at a toddler's drawing and boasting that they could draw better.
