“In Patom brain theory, it may also help to explain what’s going on in our relatively slow brain when contrasted with a supercomputer where the brain far exceeds the capability of the supercomputer in accuracy, speed and (low) power usage”

Find out about how the brain best learns language as language educators @Luke Priddy and @kungfu_english discuss in this podcast. We've all learned at least one!

@tslryn SNL did a perfect parody of Anthropic's CEO, urging society to urge him, to stop himself.....unfortunately, it's not a parody.

We can do better, trustworthy technology by 'thinking different' instead of raping the world's resources.

Robots require a 100% accurate, trustworthy interface for language and vision with learning-on-the-fly capability. That comes with the next generation of cognitive technology

[Pedro Domingos @pmddomingos]

Three ways in which we're still far from AGI:
- Learning algorithms don't generalize nearly as well as humans
- There's no ChatGPT moment for robotics in sight
- Our understanding of intelligence is severely lacking

@edzitron @sprucemoose75 When the hype bubble bursts the next generation of emerging trustworthy tech will become the focus. Like flip phones to smart phones, cognitive, non LLM solutions will show their benefit to society.

[Pat Inc @TheNewInterface]

@BrianRoemmele Agreed @BrianRoemmele - ideology without science doesn’t overcome the barriers for machines to understand our language. *That* problem remains unsolved by generative AI despite 100s of billions of dollars spent or burned

[Kanika @KanikaBK]

Oxford researchers just published a paper arguing LLMs cannot invent anything. Mathematically impossible.

The reason is simple and brutal. A model trained to predict the next word can never believe something the existing data says is wrong. And every real breakthrough in history started with exactly that belief.

In 1903 every prediction machine on Earth would have told the Wright Brothers that human flight was one to ten million years away. Nine weeks later they flew. Not because they had better data. Because they had a theory the data hadn't caught up to yet.

That is the gap between AI and human thinking. LLMs mirror the past. Humans reason into a future that doesn't exist yet. Oxford just proved mathematically that those are two different things.

I use these models every day. This matches what I see. The new stuff always comes from the human at the keyboard who decides the data is wrong.

LLMs don't think. You do.

[Pat Inc @TheNewInterface]

@thesupermanmx Builders of the LLMs fake ‘understanding’ in a conversational facade because it is so seductive to us humans. What it demonstrates is how we yearn for a human-machine interface controlled by our own language ….the next generation tech

@liz_franczak For robust tech that helps society, @jbthinking talks about the accuracy and energy efficiency of software when you mimic the brain instead of brute force.

Absolute genius.

The thing I freaking warned founders to engineers to VCs is here. Headline in a business paper:

“AI phobia is America’s new consensus”

“‘Stop us before we end humanity,’ the AI titans keep telling us. Also, ‘trust me and me alone, not my competitors’”

They poisoned the well and pooped in the hot tub. Two CEOs crippled by arrogance either purposely or cluelessly—injured the public perception of AI (and robots).

It looks only get worse and will launch Luddite political careers and elect a new president riding on the back of this new anti AI, anti Clanker donkey.

All of this could have been averted and now we are in a new Luddite timeline.

This stupidity will assure a) No IPO b) Market crashing post IPO burning down. All from avertable public comments and company positions.

This has a slight chance of being averted but past performance now shows future gains in doubling down in arrogance.

You reading this, as much as you may or may not love this tech, are in the 1% that by comparison hold AI’s promise and peril in an educated mind. I know this because somehow my feed reached you.

You represent a well thinking very small and easily trampled minority.

How did this happen?

Thank Dario. From his holier than tho thought pieces to his congressional and presidential emergency meetings to his almost daily fear marketing reports dressed up as academic papers he is the poster boy for the anti movement.

Quite unlike any CEO in history this guy has captivated investors to suppress logic for hopes of a big exit.

I do not dislike Dario personally, however his philosophies are childish and he has convinced LessThinkers to follow him over the cliff. No doubt all with the best of intentions to save us from our selves because they “know better”.

The outcome of course will not be what their cos-play of a philosophy: “we are like the nuclear scientists in the manhattan project making ‘the bomb’” now has the general hard working and very stressed out rest of the world, angry and freaked out.

The problem is clear when you drive across America and talk to common folks. THEY LOVED AI TWO YEARS ago. Now they have dozens of reasons to hate it. They certainly hate the poster boy and Sam (he is another story). But they will take the words of waning and fear seriously, as I expected and use this fear theater marketing from the LessWrong ivory towers as fuel to burn it all down.

I spent most of this summer talking to over 300 random folks around this country and NOT ONE supports the positive things we see with AI here on X every day.

NOT ONE. Bankers, doctors, nurses, lawyers, real estate, restaurant workers to high executives. In the promise this technology offered, flooded are the noise of Dario and now the press and politicians filling the mass minds with a guaranteed hatred if the tech. And no, no acceptance as Dario as savior.

The meeting the pope and having the Anthropic minion mini Dario give a speech has sent many Catholics off to full hatred of AI.

As I said, this can be readjusted but it takes very detailed coordination, communication and money.

I did the first half for free right here : identified the problem, much to my demise as many of my colleagues are having a party, rightly so, on the great daily achievements in the industry.

You folks have tolerated my obvious posting just about daily on the Anthropic game. Trust me Bro, it makes me no friends with the industry even if they don’t like the company.

I am speaking up here because we have 4 months. It will be hard but if understood we have a much better future of clear thinking. If unsuccessful we have a decade of decay and world AI dominance by China, because they have nothing like an Anthropic and if they do get one: BE VERY SCARED BECAUSE THEY HAVE SOMETHING VERY POWERFUL IN AI THEY ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT AND ARE ROLLING UP THE GATES.

This is the way of it.

I want to be very wrong here but my track record on the future says otherwise.

Pray for us.

@filippie509 It is appalling to think these trillion dollar companies can be so cavalier once they have a product monopoly. It’s best described as ‘enshittification’

[Pat Inc @TheNewInterface]

@GaryMarcus Agreed @GaryMarcus - good technology that benefits society equitably so we can control it, is a great thing. Today's generative AI is not that.
