After a year of review, our paper is now out in @NatureComms ! I really think our model/theory offers one of the most promising frameworks yet for learning in neocortical circuits - perhaps not in its final form, but the core principle of ssl feels right. Hoping experimentalists…

ICYMI, THE great Ted Chiang gave a very thoughtful speech on GenAI and Art at the #NeurIPS2024 workshop on GenAI and Creativity. The talk--which is derived in part from his @NewYorker article, but substantially expanded for the workshop--is as mind-expanding as his stories.…

"We're still missing several key ideas necessary for building AGI. How can we use a system's understanding of “thing A” to learn “thing B” (e.g. can I teach a system to count, then to multiply, then to solve word problems)? How do we build curious systems? How do we train a…

I think the fact that LLMs are template matching is a positive aspect (we do it as well) this shows that 1. they learn templates/rules from data 2. they can retrieve templates/rules and apply them in their problem solving tasks the problem is that they 1. either haven't learned…

Bold move by the physicists to claim credit for AI’s impact with the Nobel Prize! Wonder how much ChatGPT's release played a role in this. Demis Hassabis and John Jumper for the next Nobel in Medicine.
