@moorehn Generalizing a characteristic over an age-group is ageism, plain and simple. You should know better.

@pmddomingos The first one? There have been several already, as you doubtlessly are aware of.

@frovandooren @W_Schaerlaekens @Ecolo @groen How does that feel to live in denial?

The tragedy is that some of the latter managed to trick some of the former into co-signing a letter that mingles both types of concerns, thereby giving credence to the latter, while undermining the credibility of the former. 2/2

There are, roughly speaking, two kinds of people with concerns related to AI: those who have real concerns (about inflated claims and other such unethical behaviour by humans), and those who have imaginary concerns (about god-like AI capabilities and other such nonsense). 1/2

@StillTr05207382 @pmddomingos Tells a lot about you, not ?

[Wouter V.d. Broeck @addith]

@GaryMarcus It may be possible, but probably not that smart...

Why do we call LLMs AI when they have zero intelligence ?

[Wouter V.d. Broeck @addith]

@rikarends @utopiah @emilymbender What do you mean "at the speed the labs are going"? The supposedly most advanced "AI" system today has zero reasoning capabilities. What are we supposed to be concerned about exactly?

There never will be reliable automated tools capable of discerning texts written by AI/ML from texts written by human beings. For if such tools would exist, the AI/ML could be set up to use these tools to learn how to compose compliant texts.

If it doesn���t have a model of morality, then how can it morally self-correct? https://t.co/TFU335eq8Z

@ESYudkowsky What exactly is it that you consider to be earlier than expected?

[Wouter V.d. Broeck @addith]

@ESYudkowsky Maybe, but that brain has the reasoning capabilities to recognize it for what it is. LLMs do not.

[Wouter V.d. Broeck @addith]

LLMs have convincing formal language skills, but lack functional language skills: https://t.co/zGPAN5768w

@marcelsalathe Their coordinated engagement is fascinating. I'm curious as to why they would want to follow you in particular. Is it random? Any ideas?

Losing Twitter would be good for my productivity, I guess.

@verbeeld So little space for bikes, so much space for cars...

@stormsweeper @remigrado Let's be honest, there simply was no such thing as "vanilla js" back in the days.

[Wouter V.d. Broeck @addith]

@stormsweeper @remigrado Yes, maybe, but they only worked properly (if at all) in "the latest" version of one particular browser brand, didn't they?
