Re56: A Valuable Brick:
Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach 4th ed.
Retraice^1
This is how we got from Re1 to AIMA4e.
Air date: Sunday, 20th Nov. 2022, 11:00 PM Eastern/US.
Findings
How we got to computer control (roughly the same as `AI') and players.
o Retraice is about `What's going on out there'. o Our point of departure was the concept of intelligence--natural, artificial and strategic.^2 o We found that computer control is what's going on out there, the `current history' of our time.^3 o We found that computer control is strategic, like a game.^4 o We found that games are player-oriented.^5
Implications
Why we're changing modes of thinking.^6
* Mode 0 is `don't care', i.e. not knowing what happened.
* Mode 1 is `don't know', i.e. wondering what happened (the previous Retraice mode).
* Mode 2 is `don't doubt', i.e. making things happen.
In mode 2, it's `good' to do AI for RTFM reasons,^7 and for MICE reasons.^8
Details
What is AIMA4e?
* The generalist compendium of AI knowledge is in this white brick.^9
+ It might be the most valuable object for doing things in the 2020s.
+ It is our new point of departure.
* But we will not be teaching the book! We are not qualified. Some learning might nevertheless happen.
Plan
The plan is to read the whole book in a week, as a first-pass. Thereafter, we'll layer more and more detail as we see fit.
