that's a bunch of hooey, that article like most in nature is massively overhyped and simply not at all what I meant.

(I work in the field, know those authors, talked to them, elucidated what they actually did, and concluded it was, like many results, simply massively overhyped)

That's an interesting perspective. In the interest of full disclosure, one of the authors (Stephen Muggleton) is my thesis advisor. I've also met Ross King a few times.

Can you elaborate? Why is it a "bunch of hooey"?

And btw, what do you mean by "overhyped"? Most people on HN haven't even heard of "Adam", or "Eve" (the sequel). I only knew about them because I'm the PhD student of one of the authors. We are in a thread about an open letter urging companies to stop working towards AGI, essentially. In what sense is the poor, forgotten robot scientist "overhyped", compared to that?
