The Gradient cuts through the hype and the cynicism to provide accessible, sophisticated reporting on the latest AI research.

AGI won’t emerge from piling on modalities.
It must be embodied, interactive, and unified –– where perception and action are core, and “modality” is just a side-effect.
We need to stop building patchwork solutions and start building minds.

THE @airstreet 2024 YEAR IN REVIEW
We began last year’s review with a look back of the preceding 12 months:
2023 was a year of both immense technological acceleration and constant flux. AI truly exploded into the mainstream: industries witnessed the birth of potentially…
during our 2-hour review of AI in 2024 @nathanbenaich and I spent a few minutes being China Guys........ some thoughts on the traditional narratives we have about US/European/Chinese innovation, reflections on an interview with the DeepSeek CEO translated by @jordanschnyc and co
daniel and i spent 2 hours together yesterday discussing ai over the last year - reasoning, bio, chips, startups, vibe shifts, policy, and ofc wassup @airstreet :-)
episode dropping soon on @gradientpub 💙

holidays are upon us again and for the third time @nathanbenaich and I did our year of AI in review... we also talked about figuring out how to be an investor when there's no playbook for the job
I spoke with @Philip_Goff about how panpsychism helps explain consciousness, hybrid cosmopsychism, and the "post-Galilean" science of consciousness he's recently advocated for
I loved writing and editing articles for The Gradient, but sadly this has become untenable time wise over the last few years... but The Gradient lives on! See this announcement.

AI has the potential to transform real-world domains. But can AI actually improve outcomes in live interactions?
We conducted the first large-scale intervention of a Human-AI Approach that has statistically significant positive learning gains w/ 900 tutors & 1,800 K12 students.
I spoke with Evan Ratliff (@ev_rat) about what happened when he made an AI voice clone of himself and set it loose, and about the final innings of the @longformpodcast
My friend @ke_li_2021 wrote a wonderful piece on the Gradient arguing LLM chatbots lack a 'sense of purpose' in dialogue. He argues that current benchmarks for LLMs fall short and proposes a more interactive, human-in-the loop evaluation procedure. Highly recommend giving it a…

LLM chatbots are moving fast, but how do we make them better? In my new blog at The Gradient, I argue that an important next step is giving them a sense of "purpose."
Kenneth Li (@ke_li_2021) asks: what is missing from LLM chatbots? He argues that it's a sense of purpose in that chatbots aren't being optimized for any particular goal like humans do when we interact with each other.
