World models are the new goal and the new holy grail. Language alone can’t replicate human intelligence—AI needs to understand and simulate the physical world. Stanford’s Fei‑Fei Li and Meta’s Yann LeCun argue conventional LLMs lack spatial reasoning, memory, planning. Their

Agree - smartphones have likely caused this. But it’s not the smartphones per-se. It’s that smartphones have been powered by matrix manipulating machine learning algorithms that get the answer right (get your attention) without any understanding of the world. A lesson for AI.

The ratio of science to engineering in AI is approaching zero.

In the Financial Times today, I argue that if AI is just another productivity tool, the productivity gains will be limited. For lasting economic expansion, AI must catalyze new industries and initiatives. "Had the 19th century focused solely on better looms and ploughs, we would enjoy

The US approach to AI feels very Chinese: A race to pour greater and greater amounts of capital into infrastructure (compute) without a clear end goal (“AGI” is not a clear end goal) just to stay in the game—in part because all your competitors are doing the same thing.

New paper: "Large Language Models & Emergence: A Complex Systems Perspective" (D. Krakauer, J. Krakauer, M. Mitchell). We look at claims of "emergent capabilities" & "emergent intelligence" in LLMs from perspective of what emergence means in complexity science. ⬇️

US graduates are struggling to find a job: The unemployment rate among new college graduates has averaged 6.6% over the last 12 months, the highest in a decade, outside of 2020. The jobless rate for people aged 20 to 24 who are looking for work and have at least a bachelor’s

There are few things I enjoy more than spending time with the Independent Crew, those rare souls who have chosen liberty over bureaucracy, agency over employment. One Health Nebraska kindly granted me a few minutes, and I left reminded of a simple but powerful truth:

Just used fastml to compare logistic regression (glm/glmnet) and random forest (ranger/randomForest) on the Framingham dataset. Repeated CV + Bayesian tuning (20 iter) with early stopping, MICE imputation, and upsampling made model selection easy. 🚀 library(fastml)
