This video on distributed neural net training should be part of every machine learning & AI course in the world. It is brilliantly done. Thanks
@gbarthmaron
for pointing me to it. Has anyone already converted it to a homework exercise in a class?

Reinforcement Learning Agents Goals and Multimodal Integration
By
–
Online RL agents make interventions with a goal. I believe this is enough, but I’d like to hear @eliasbareinboim expanding on this as I believe he’s put a lot of thought into it. I also think multimodality helps, based on the rubber hand illusion, e.g. @anilkseth

Chatbots Lack Causal Reasoning and Agency: Solutions Needed
By
–
Existing chatbots are not causal reasoners. They lack agency. They treat their actions (what they said) as observations and not as interventions. Question: how do we fix this? @yudapearl I think there’s a few solutions, but I’d love to hear you thoughts. @eliasbareinboim
