Abstract: How could machines learn as efficiently as humans and animals? How could machines learn to reason and plan? How could machines learn representations of percepts and action plans at multiple levels of abstraction, enabling them to reason, predict, and plan at multiple time horizons? This position paper proposes an architecture and training paradigms with which to construct autonomous intelligent agents. It combines concepts such as configurable predictive world model, behavior driven through intrinsic motivation, and hierarchical joint embedding architectures trained with self-supervised learning.

"This project is a labor of love (or more accurately, a labor of like). Del.icio.us was founded by my friends in 2003, sold a whole bunch of times, and when it was about to get sold again to spammers in 2017, I took the opportunity to buy it back.
My current goal is to keep the site up and accessible as a museum of links past.
Right now, all you can really do here is log in and get your old data out."
What would you do if Christof Koch is right and consciousness can not be computed?

2) "Ada Lovelace explaining the difference between the Analytical and Difference engines"

Although both read like a student bluffing their way through an exam.

I'm guessing this post was put into the second chance system.
I don't think I would use it to read multiple books at the same time though. I've already got a simpler solution which I use regularly - lots of bookmarks and a sturdy table to hold the big pile of books.
However, with a bit of refinement, you could repurpose it to be a rotating bookcase with each shelf holding a row of books. A standard bookcase is obviously simpler but what a way to pick your next read.

Adding a little bit of redundancy into a system is better for the overall performance of that system. However redundancy costs money so it is important to strike the right balance between slack and efficiency.
