Mastering Atari Games with Natural Intelligence

  • Something that can excel at "mastering atari games with natural intelligence" is called a speedrunner. It is not made of silicon.

  • doesn't "natural intelligence" normally mean human intelligence?

  • This smelled like BS the moment they invoked Karl Friston, but when I noticed it's a publicly traded company (without any available products or research artifacts) I became _extremely_ suspicious.

    The only non-scammy thing I could find about them is that Friston seems to work there.

  • Very nervy trademarking genius and calling this natural intelligence.

  • “If, metaphorically, the methods used by DQN and Agent57 are gas-guzzling Hummers and those used to tackle the Atari 100k challenge are like a fuel-efficient Prius, then our approach used on Atari 10k is like a Tesla, a hyper-efficient alternative architecture.”

    Eh, what?
