However, researchers at Radboud University and other institutes show new proof that those claims are overblown and unlikely to ever come to fruition. Their findings are published in Computational Brain & Behavior today.

Not just that, they've proven it's not possible using any tractable algorithm. If it were you'd run into a contradiction. Their example uses basically any machine learning algorithm we know, but the proof generalizes.

via statistical imitation. other methods, such as solving and implementing by first principles analytically, has not been shown to be np hard. the difference is important but the end result is still no agigpt in the foreseeable and unforeseeable future.
