Tear Off the Masks!: Identity and Imposture in Twentieth-Century Russia Book

Much of what Marcus wrote about neural networks in this book is dated -- deep networks can now perform tasks previously thought to be impossible, and perform them substantially better than Marcus' favorite symbolic manipulations and representations.

That being said, Marcus is a good writer, and much better suited to writing books than to tweeting criticisms about people who have actually solved problems in perception. In 2019 it seems that Marcus woke up from his slumber and decided that the only way for the "AI community" to become better is to listen to his criticisms of the advances in perception, even when those people are aware of the limitations of their methods to reasoning. The root of this problem in my opinion is the conflation of language understanding with intelligence (whatever intelligence means).
