very interesting discussion. the contrast IK makes between mathematics and inductive neural networks is compelling. perhaps of interest @patrickshafto.bsky.social? thanks for digging it up and for your analysis, @natolambert.bsky.social .

And ideas that can be made real often have a very close connection to physics and math. Capable inductive machines like NNs are so new. Lots of interesting commonalities to be mined going forward. And, I think, lots of differences to be formalized.

The magic is seeing ideas that are feasible. That is the magic of deep learning. A simple insight that can be made real (with lots of hard work).

Yes, I think it is interesting. The things that can be mathematics currently is narrow: physics, theoretical computer science, mathematics. But the sciences are vast, and in need of theory. In particular, the theory of intelligent agents is close to the surface in many cases...
