In the spring and summer of 2008, when Donald Trump was still a registered Democrat,
an anonymous blogger known as Mencius Moldbug posted a serial manifesto under the heading
“An Open Letter to Open-Minded Progressives.”
Written with the sneering disaffection of an ex-believer,
the hundred-and-twenty-thousand-word letter argued that egalitarianism,

Fodor and Pylyshyn's Legacy - Still No Human-like Systematic Compositionality in Neural Networks
Strong meta-learning capabilities for systematic compositionality are emerging as an important skill for navigating the complex and changing tasks of today's world. However, in presenting models for robust adaptation to novel environments, it is important to refrain from making unsupported claims about the performance of meta-learning systems that ultimately do not stand up to scrutiny. While Fodor and Pylyshyn famously posited that neural networks inherently lack this capacity as they are unab…
