A new paper by @Jake_Browning00 and me that just appeared in Artificial Intelligence.
It discusses the (in)validity of the "propositional picture of semantic knowledge" according to which all knowledge is expressible in language.

"Cognitive scientists and AI researchers now broadly accept that much of our knowledge consists in non-propositional forms of reasoning, including mental images, predictive simulations, and embodied know-how. And, if the propositional picture is wrong, the Challenge is not a good test of common-sense."

We've trained a system to answer grade-school math problems with double the accuracy of a fine-tuned GPT-3 model.

Multistep reasoning is difficult for today's language models. We present a new technique to help. https://t.co/JRXUYZOSg7

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is a meaningless measure of nothing. It’s not “industrials” (Visa and McDonald’s and https://t.co/7fXpY1y5EG!), it’s a small enough n (of 30 companies) to not show market direction…and is basically astrology for investors who watch TV

1/ The Internet has many legacies, but its greatest one is disintermediation -- taking out the middleman. And the biggest ever disintermediation -- of financial services -- is coming to an app near you. This is where government should focus:

Today, we announced that we have decided to terminate the pending transaction with Visa, and will remain an independent company. With hundreds of millions of people now relying on fintech, making sure we can meet that demand deserves 100% of our attention.
