Finally, OpenAI did succeed in dethroning Google, even if not in the way Musk intended. The race to AGI now has multiple players in it, whereas it did look like it was Deepmind's to take back in RL-to-AGI days.

* Karpathy convinced Musk OpenAI was failing via a proxy metric of paper count (where Google was/keeps winning)
* Dota 5v5 RL bot scared some AGI was around the corner in 2018

Overall, I think it's true that at the top level OpenAI wanted to compete they had no chance without a more […]

Btw, #gstreamer bindings in Rust are really good, except for maybe the documentation, where instead of looking up what a function does in the editor, I have to make a trip to gstreamer docs for C instead...

Paper does touch on this in the outer (aka parallel/unconscious processing) vs inner (serial/conscious) brain, and the question how can the latter be implemented using the same substrate (massively parallel neurons) as the former. Clearly the total rate of information […]

@tedunderwood.me very fun paper, thank you!

Maybe I'm naive, but it feels like total rate of cognition should include the supporting machinery enabling the 10 bits of behavior.

Without the predictive/context machinery of humans (aka "unconscious processing" in the paper), the 10 bits can't be […]
