| Lots of theoretical models, philosophical, and metaphysical thinking... The scientific method... Actual in-depth studies centered on the system you're trying to understand and duplicate in another form. You know.. Everything but the foolishness employers and VC firms look for in people. How all the greats did it :
> Einstein
> Von Neumann
> Alan Turing
> etc If you have a proven coding background, you're off and running in the production lab. The problem with the layers of hype, academic jargon, overly complex white-papers, and hand waving is that it makes people believe this is unapproachable outside the narrow scope of thinking that everyone is currently subscribed to. Scopes change with time and the people who tend to progress and widen these scopes are often those who think outside the narrow box everyone else is set upon. This is what Jobs meant by 'think different'. to the history of new approaches... i.e :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feynman_diagram Or you can attempt to brute force it with statistical models, PHDs, computing power, and truckloads of data hoping something miraculously emerges. So, what type of thinking is used to develop strong A.I?
Strong thinking... Something that most and the industry aren't set upon which is why it most always takes an outside to usher in such new paradigms. As is the history of the Googles of the world ... Which is why I say you are more likely to hear about strong A.I once someone has developed it in the dark. It isn't going to be a 'thing' until it is a thing for people don't know how to recognize, value, or back undefined things until someone goes out of their way to make it into a reality. |
