Interesting that the language models themselves were actually the goal. My impression was that improving language models was just a tool to find better semantic representations for AI. I must have been wrong. The goal must have been limited to making better language models from the beginning as you say. It makes you wonder why Marcus Hutter thought it was so important to improve language models. I always thought his big thing was the statistical optimization of AI. I must have been wrong. He was a guy who only wanted to improve language models. Lossless compressors work by lossy compression of the past Interesting definition that. -R ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/Ta9b77fda597cc07a-M82bfac5e7ba59c811a62949e Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
