&gt;The detailed inner workings of a complex machine intelligence (or of a biological brain) may turn out to be incomprehensible to our human minds—or at least the human minds of today&quot;.<p>Did he really say that?<p>I probably should avoid talking <i>right now</i>.<p>Ahaha.  Ahahahahaaaa.  Oh boy.<p>I mean, the mind isn&#x27;t <i>that</i> hard to crack once you start conceiving of exactly what problems it was designed to solve, what functions it was designed to perform.  We don&#x27;t have <i>complete</i> theories yet, but generative causal inference in Turing-complete domains gets us into replicating &quot;psychological&quot; behavior and explaining cognitive-psychology experiments, so hey.<p>And then we&#x27;ve got solid overviews of how you&#x27;d go about combining concepts into theories into worldviews, and such.<p>There are a bunch of open problems remaining, but not nearly as many as people think.
