[FRIAM] Maybe a new hardware approach to deal with AI developments

[Marcus Daniels]

I think the spirit of the NY Times article, and current trends, is _not_ to reify.   
Graphics processors, tensor processors, FPGAs, spiking systems, quantum annealers, etc. are by in large tackling machine learning, not engineered intelligence (class AI) or even (necessarily) supervised learning.   We are _blinded_ by what we think we know.

And to go back to the topic, many have no idea how much their *thinking* does change with intense exercise or intense nutrition changes.  All this argues directly against RussA's argument of reified ideas.  And it relates back to the article Alfredo posted, too.  Our intelligence doesn't reside in our brains and, therefore, it's reasonable to think that an artificial intelligence's intelligence will not reside in some sort of CPU.

Putting aside draining effects of chemotherapy or other debilitating illnesses some relatively healthy people just have no idea, and will never have an idea, how dramatically their body and metabolism can change with sustained exercise.   That is not a behavior they will ever really investigate.
