Pretty impressive. 4 hours of Google training time could be like 4 days of training time on another platform though. Wake me up when general intelligence is here.

That's true, it could be 4 hours of training using 10% of their AWS server farm, lol. Which could be 100 years of normal desktop computer time.

I think general AI is getting close, the big problem seems to be that it can't compartmentalize different areas of knowledge. So it can master 1 thing, but then to master another they have to start from scratch again. If it could like learn from chess, and then apply the things it has learned to checkers, and maintain good strategies for both while being able to switch between them appropriately, then we're cooking. Then it can learn 1000s of skills masterfully, and then only use each when appropriate. That's really approaching general AI, I think we're probably 10 years away from basic general AI that can task-switch easily

I hope so, as an accelerationist. But then again, neural nets have been around since the 70s.
