It's still baffling to me that OpenAI thought they could build a physics engine simply by fitting a model on next frame prediction. And why are so called frontier artificial intelligence (AI) labs only knowing about this limitation now?

GenAI models “often match patterns instead of truly reasoning” Say it to yourself over and over til you full understand it. The amount of confirmation that is coming this year for my basic view is insane.

We don't train AI on data from the world. We train it on words people have said about the world. A stream doesn't rise higher than its source.
The reason you struggle to fall asleep at night is because your brain won't shut off. In the past, during moments of boredom or downtime, your mind had the space to process thoughts, prepare for stressful situations, and remind you of things you needed to do. But now, you fill…
I didn't go to college until I was 30. This gave me a chance to see it with the perspective of an adult. One lecture in Industrial Psychology, in particular, I will never forget. The professor spoke about how an effective job description focused on concretely measurable…

A basic way to avoid bad habits is to imagine how you’ll feel afterward. It’s called episodic future thinking. Previewing the unwanted consequences of procrastinating, overeating, and doomscrolling can motivate better choices. Your future self is wiser than your present self.
Terence Tao reporting on the same problem we have seen endlessly in other domains: LLM’s produce output that “looks” correct but is often deeply wrong and even stupid on careful inspection. I know of no domain in which this is NOT the case. And yet people seem surprised over…

You might feel like you're running out of time, but the real issue is likely mental energy. You sit down to work, but starting feels impossible. After an hour or two, you are emotionally drained, so you escape to YouTube for funny videos. Refreshed but guilty, you return to…
I tell students on the first day of class that if you're truly learning it's supposed to feel uncomfortable. The reason is that real learning is not simply the accumulation of facts; it is deep understanding, building mental models of the world, and other higher-level abilities.…

@TrueAIHound Hallucinations are the software doing exactly what it is programed to do. *Every* answer is a hallucination. It's just that we don't notice most of the time because the training set is so vast that the correct (ish) answer is usually provided. "Hallucination" is a just another…
My top tip for ensuring that #AI is not a waste of your time is to start by understanding whether you’re solving a one-off problem or you’re automating at scale… because I’ll give you totally opposite advice in each case.
I’m not sure when people started using the word “valid” in relation to feelings. It’s not even clear what it is means A little clarity about what feelings are, and are not... ✅ Your feeling are feelings. They’re not right nor wrong. They’re what you feel. It’s legitimate that…
Doctors order CTs for every minor head bump, not because it's good medicine, but because it’s legally safe. Missing a trivial brain bleed? Career-ending. But irradiating 20 people to find one? No lawsuit. No friction. No second thought. Yet this new @UCSF study shows that…
Narcissistic leaders are more appealing to young people with low self-esteem. When we’re insecure, we often gravitate to big egos to fill the void. Supporting them makes us feel special—and makes them feel less threatened. It's time to stop mistaking confidence for competence.
