- What if Twitter was free to read but tweeting cost a dime? - That's outrageous - Well, if your own tweet isn't worth a dime even to you, why would we want to read it? Overall quality of tweets will improve. No need for ads. Not expensive for normal users. Unfollow still works.

Machine Learning is not Scientific. It jumps to conclusions on scant evidence and relies on correlations without caring about causality. experimental-epistemology.ai/the-red-pill-o… Gary Marcus Kenneth Stanley Richard Sutton

LLM++ will increasingly be used to recommend music, artworks, and books. Artists and authors asking for their works to be removed from LLM++ training corpora are asking for a quick trip to oblivion. If your personal AI ("Confidante") doesn't know something exists, it can't

1. Learning language and facts are separable from learning behaviors (the latter is supervised learning + RLHF) 2. Animals and humans have been shaped by Evolution in a Darwinian Competition and are therefore competitive, hoarding, and self-preserving. This is conserved as

Who needs "AGI"? Humans suck at almost everything. Yann LeCun recently pointed this out. And an infant sucks at everything (joke opportunity ignored) and a 4-year old knows some language but can't handle working at a factory. And if someone doesn’t know Math, they can't be a

There are two kinds of AI. They are polar opposites. You need to understand the difference. Most people, most journalists, and most YouTube influencers do not know the difference. This leads to continued public conflation of the two kinds of AI in all the popular media. The

The Mythical AI Minute In the book “The Mythical Man-Month” published 1975, Fred Brooks discussed the practice of software engineering and project management strategies for large software projects. Some of his insights have held true for decades: “Adding manpower to a late

If AI is a Component, then Language is a Data Type

In all of my workshops and most of my posts I end up discussing the differences between Reductionism and Holism. This has been my main message since 2005. Suddenly, but not unexpectedly, this has become critical knowledge. Because we are about to transition. Our species is
