@elonmusk Shame on your Elon for re-posting this. I'm sure you consider this free speech, but it offers no value to the real issues in this election. Please stop.

@aurimas_knepa @tsarnick Yep. HB promised us Rosey in 1962. Then Bushnell after he sold off Atari, but so far the only success has been Roomba. That said, simpler forms (but not humanoid) may get here soon.

@tsarnick Too bad he doesn't give a timeframe. Consider that an NVidia Jetson module alone is ~$1600, and you need batteries, motors, sensors, etc. Unlike cars, which are driven by a human brain, it will need a lot more software to do all those tasks we want. How much is a Telsa Model X?

@GaryMarcus That must be why Sam wants $7b, right?

What if there were technology options that extended your potential to age in place?

@rodneyabrooks @Cruise @GaryMarcus First stage of the robot takeover of the planet 😆

@GaryMarcus Glad you had a great trip, but would have preferred it had been to DC at Schumer’s invitation. Hopefully he still will.

[Hoaloha Robotics @HoalohaRobotics]

@GaryMarcus This is why it is a folly to assume these companies can be “self-regulating”. If OpenAI, Microsoft, etc. could be trusted they would already be transparent about the data they used.

[Hoaloha Robotics @HoalohaRobotics]

@StefanFSchubert @GaryMarcus @anilkseth My take is that tech/tools (e.g. phone, calculator, etc.) doesn't have to be conscious to be useful. Further as we don't fully understand how conscious works, it is somewhat a folly to assume we can or should.

[Hoaloha Robotics @HoalohaRobotics]

@aidan_mclau @GaryMarcus @anilkseth Gary can probably speak for himself on this, but snake oil can be considered dangerous to ingest even if it is not effective.

[Hoaloha Robotics @HoalohaRobotics]

@bobehayes @GaryMarcus Perhaps a starting point would be to stop calling this stuff artificial “intelligence” and use a more appropriate term like “Statistical Heuristic Inference Technology “😆

[Hoaloha Robotics @HoalohaRobotics]

Current examples of AI demonstrate some amazing results but it is important to understand that it isn’t without risks, (that are much more pragmatic than the imminent destruction of humanity). This post provides a balanced perspective on the issues. https://t.co/Bu0vYQYHJ8

[Hoaloha Robotics @HoalohaRobotics]

@etzioni But where is the commitment to transparency regarding what data they are using for training or commitment to compensate those whose data they use or commitment to enable people or entities to opt out of their data being used?

[Hoaloha Robotics @HoalohaRobotics]

@GaryMarcus @monamhamdy @ESYudkowsky @mustafasuleymn “Largely”? = not completely

[Hoaloha Robotics @HoalohaRobotics]

@VinceMtenga @GaryMarcus If you are implying that Gary Marcus is a Luddite, you don’t know Gary, or understand his concerns. But maybe you are one of those rogue AIs he warns about that often get the facts wrong.

[Hoaloha Robotics @HoalohaRobotics]

@cosmojg @ylecun @emerywells I think you misunderstand how GPT works, in that it’s responses are derived from the collection of information it was trained on. So if there is no history in its training of human developing that, it isn’t going to generate that.

[Hoaloha Robotics @HoalohaRobotics]

@MelMitchell1 @katecrawford Public statements from most of the suppliers of these technologies suggest that they agree, but there seems to be NO ACTION that they are taking to proactively move in that direction.

[Hoaloha Robotics @HoalohaRobotics]

@GaryMarcus Major creators of LLM technologies (e.g. OpenAI, Microsoft, etc.) have publically acknowledged that 1) there are potential dangers now, 2) that there should be regulations around use, and 3) that there should be more transparency. So where is their commitment to these objectives?
