Happy to hear ILIAD felt productive!

When we started ILIAD this was from a felt sense that there is in fact much more commonality and convergence in research directions than commonly assumed. 

Feels like something has gone wrong way before when one cares more about money than survival of the human race. 

If a man's judgement is really swayable by equity one cant stop to wonder whether he is the right man for the job in the first place.

"When I say AGI, I really mean a general intellignintellignence not just a new app or tool."

Reward is not the optimization target. 

The optimization target is the Helmholtz free energy functional in the conductance-corrected Wasserstein metric for the step-size effective loss potential in the critical batch size regime for the weight-initialization distribution as prior up to solenoidal flux corrections
