I’m always seeing people on here asking, like, “what does it matter whether AI ‘reasons’ or not? What would it even mean?” like it’s an unanswerable question but the answer is very simple and practical: because it doesn’t reason it fucks up in ways that it wouldn’t if it did
You will be able to summon a Tesla whenever you need it with as little friction as you can now summon an Uber by the beginning of
Coming soon…ish?
tl;dr Waymo robotaxis will stop when they see a person wearing a t-shirt with a stop sign on it. Surprising? What will they do if they see a person wearing a "Speed Limit 60" t-shirt in the middle of a San Francisco street? thestreet.com/automotive/the…
This talk from @GaryMarcus is quite compelling (and pleasingly accessible) about the limitations of current generative AI. He suggests that greater scale of current tech won't get us much further. youtube.com/watch?v=zj0Ek3…
The intuition behind the “scale is all you need” movement was that it would be trivial to build AGI if you just kept gathering more data and building bigger models. What we are actually seeing is that it is apparently hard to get far beyond GPT-4, even with immense $ invested.
We need a Consumer Reports or Underwriters Lab for AI testing. All the public benchmarks are game-able and mostly not useful measures of things LLMs do. We need secret test batteries for subject areas (coding, reasoning, human conversation, writing) and secret red team tests, too
Agreed. Level 5 autonomy is the only way to go. Will need expensive LiDAR etc for now. Can’t expect humans to suddenly intervene if the level 3/4 system messes up. This cavalier approach from Tesla may kill many innocent bystanders, and may trigger legislation which could kill…

Cognitive psychology tidbit of the day (see my reply for the answer).
Amazing that a chip bricked in 46-yr-old Voyager I, preventing it from sending data, and NASA figured out how to split up and reallocate its functions to other hardware, sending code 15 billion miles away (45 hours round trip!)--and Voyager's back online. blogs.nasa.gov/voyager/2024/0…
Really great engineers don’t make wasteful, underwhelming products like generative AI; they design chips and systems that work in space for 46 years before failing … and can still be fixed when they are 15 BILLION miles away.

People who watch *the exact same* video of a protest often come to radically different conclusions. People's views of protestors and the police depend on the congruence of the protestors’ positions with the subjects’ own worldview jstor.org/stable/41511108
