Summary

This document is a page from an email written by 'Joscha' (likely cognitive scientist Joscha Bach) discussing the state of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning. The text covers topics such as universal cortical learning, Google's image recognition errors, DeepMind's reinforcement learning in Atari games, and criticisms of Noam Chomsky's linguistic theories. The author also references their own presentation at a NIPS workshop regarding 'request-confirmation networks' and makes a controversial claim correlating race, motor development, and IQ.
