The CoT hype balloon just exploded. (And kudos to Subbarao Kambhampati (కంభంపాటి సుబ్బారావు)’s group for all their outstanding work on LLMs.)

Fascinating - yet again pointing towards the separation between language and thought with the latter in the driving seat.

Do bumblebees prefer continuous over interrupted strings to get to an artificial flower with nectar? Yes ... but does this mean that they understand the physics of a continuous string...? Find out in our latest paper in eLife: elifesciences.org/articles/97018

Was fun to provide a commentary on Lauren N. Ross and Dani S. Bassett piece on mechanism.

We just released François Chollet keynote talk from #AGI24. He challenges LLM hype, discusses ARC-AGI benchmark, and proposes merging deep learning with program synthesis for true AGI progress.

Excited to be part of this

Very useful indeed

Very concerning

Some of my thoughts on OpenAI's o3 and the ARC-AGI benchmark: ⬇️

In the cerebellum, neurons are placed in competition with one another, nulling the downstream effects of each other's spikes, in a well-organized subtractive process that produces a fast changing, precise output from a collection of slow, noisy neurons.
