  • If you don’t see this critical point about AI systems… you’re the mark

    Put more plainly: things like ChatGPT only appear to be intelligent because they’ve been designed mimic human language to a plausible enough degree. Their creators want to believe they’re creating intelligent machines, so that’s what they choose to see. https://disconnect.blog/geoffrey-hintons-misguided-views-on-ai/

  • This AI Pioneer Thinks AI Is Dumber Than a Cat

    At the same time, he is convinced that today’s AIs aren’t, in any meaningful sense, intelligent—and that many others in the field, especially at AI startups, are ready to extrapolate its recent development in ways that he finds ridiculous. If LeCun’s views are right, it spells trouble for some of today’s hottest startups, not to…

  • LLMs don’t do formal reasoning – and that is a HUGE problem

    Take a moment and bang this concept into your heads… “we found no evidence of formal reasoning in language models …. Their behavior is better explained by sophisticated pattern matching—so fragile, in fact, that changing names can alter results by ~10%!” https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/llms-dont-do-formal-reasoning-and STOP WITH THE WISHFUL THINKING.

  • Meat(al) Puppets

    During the event, Musk presented the Optimus robot as little more than your personal slave. “Whatever you can think of, it will do,” he told his adoring followers as they shouted how much they loved the fascist billionaire. Rows of Tesla employees flanked a line of Optimus robots ready to engage with the gullible cult members,…

  • Reading about neuro-symbolic AI has completed my fatalistic outlook regarding hard limitations of machines

    Machines are epistemically landlocked. There is no such thing as “an external world” to them. Machines push around loads INSIDE them. “But-but-but we’re also machines!” some dream-addled kid may scream with teary eyes. Uh, no. Learn what a machine is. https://davidhsing.substack.com/p/reading-about-neuro-symbolic-ai-has

  • Why Neural Networks is a Bad Technology

    Neural networks never deal with knowledge in any kind of legitimate fashion. It will always have epistemic issues because that’s their underlying nature. Additionally, it’s a house of cards that’s brittle and collapses if anything is out-of-range of the model’s data. The actual “range” being the entire real world and the entirety of human knowledge. https://davidhsing.substack.com/p/why-neural-networks-is-a-bad-technology

  • OpenAI is a monumentally shit business

    *THE* reason the AI folks ran to Washington to squeal about the civilization ending capabilities of their tech was because they knew this: ChatGPT Plus has no real moat, little product differentiation (outside of its advanced voice mode, which Meta is already working on a competitor to), and increasing commoditization from other models, open source…

  • Tesla Full Self Driving requires human intervention every 13 miles

    “These failures are the most insidious. But there are also continuous failures of simple programming inadequacy, such as only starting lane changes toward a freeway exit a scant tenth of a mile before the exit itself, that handicaps the system and casts doubt on the overall quality of its base programming,“ https://arstechnica.com/cars/2024/09/tesla-full-self-driving-requires-human-intervention-every-13-miles/

  • Godfather of AI Says Elon Musk Is Lying About Self-Driving Teslas

    Yann LeCun, the so-called “Godfather of AI” who currently serves as Meta’s AI czar, accused the billionaire of lying “again and again” about when fully-automated Teslas would arrive. “Elon: ‘I’ve kept lying to you again and again about Tesla’s ‘Full Self Driving’ capabilities for the last 8 years,” the AI aficionado wrote, “‘but you should…
