@elonmusk Shame on your Elon for re-posting this. I'm sure you consider this free speech, but it offers no value to the real issues in this election. Please stop.

@aurimas_knepa @tsarnick Yep. HB promised us Rosey in 1962. Then Bushnell after he sold off Atari, but so far the only success has been Roomba. That said, simpler forms (but not humanoid) may get here soon.

@tsarnick Too bad he doesn't give a timeframe. Consider that an NVidia Jetson module alone is ~$1600, and you need batteries, motors, sensors, etc. Unlike cars, which are driven by a human brain, it will need a lot more software to do all those tasks we want. How much is a Telsa Model X?

20+ @cruise driverless in Austin, TX. [Thanks to Tandy Trower & @garymarcus] This system is not ready for deployment at scale, and it is not a good business model to be subjecting people going about their lives to disruptive experiments that piss them off. instagram.com/reel/CxiMHssNA…

@GaryMarcus Glad you had a great trip, but would have preferred it had been to DC at Schumer’s invitation. Hopefully he still will.

@GaryMarcus This is why it is a folly to assume these companies can be “self-regulating”. If OpenAI, Microsoft, etc. could be trusted they would already be transparent about the data they used.

@StefanFSchubert @GaryMarcus @anilkseth My take is that tech/tools (e.g. phone, calculator, etc.) doesn't have to be conscious to be useful. Further as we don't fully understand how conscious works, it is somewhat a folly to assume we can or should.

That sentence doesn't say they ought to be built. There's nothing wrong with analysing this question. On the contrary, those who want such systems *not* to be built should welcome careful analysis of what sorts of AI systems could become conscious. If you don't know those conditions, you can't prevent it.

@GaryMarcus @anilkseth Gary, I ask you seriously: How do you reconcile your claims that Generative AI is a dud with your fear of current capabilities?

@bobehayes @GaryMarcus Perhaps a starting point would be to stop calling this stuff artificial “intelligence” and use a more appropriate term like “Statistical Heuristic Inference Technology “😆

"What would make artificial general intelligence general is generality: the ability to cope with new things. And that’s precisely where current #AI is still lacking." ~ @GaryMarcus #ArtificialIntelligence

No, Virginia, AGI is not imminent. Some thoughts on what AGI is — or should be — and why we aren’t close, expanding on my recent conversations with DeepMind cofounder @shanelegg Available at Marcus on AI or wherever restricted Subst@cks are sold. (link below)

Current examples of AI demonstrate some amazing results but it is important to understand that it isn’t without risks, (that are much more pragmatic than the imminent destruction of humanity). This post provides a balanced perspective on the issues. spectrum.ieee.org/self-driving-c…

@etzioni But where is the commitment to transparency regarding what data they are using for training or commitment to compensate those whose data they use or commitment to enable people or entities to opt out of their data being used?

LLM hallucinations will be largely eliminated by 2025. that’s a huge deal. the implications are far more profound than the threat of the models getting things a bit wrong today.

@VinceMtenga @GaryMarcus If you are implying that Gary Marcus is a Luddite, you don’t know Gary, or understand his concerns. But maybe you are one of those rogue AIs he warns about that often get the facts wrong.

@cosmojg @ylecun @emerywells I think you misunderstand how GPT works, in that it’s responses are derived from the collection of information it was trained on. So if there is no history in its training of human developing that, it isn’t going to generate that.

@ylecun @emerywells no, but it could probably write the code required to get a robot to do it and given OpenAI's interest in multimodality, GPT5 could probably design the robot, complete with sketches it might be shit, but it might work

@MelMitchell1 @katecrawford Public statements from most of the suppliers of these technologies suggest that they agree, but there seems to be NO ACTION that they are taking to proactively move in that direction.

I didn't sign "the letter". Current AI poses lots of risks, but describing these systems as "ever more powerful digital minds" that no one can control is likely to make the problem even worse. What's needed: more transparency and better public discourse.

@GaryMarcus Major creators of LLM technologies (e.g. OpenAI, Microsoft, etc.) have publically acknowledged that 1) there are potential dangers now, 2) that there should be regulations around use, and 3) that there should be more transparency. So where is their commitment to these objectives?

Wrong question. All five could lead to disaster. Without rank ordering them, I will note that (e) can be used to subvert very large numbers of people (e.g., a la the Captcha incident and via production of misinformation that could increase aggression), thereby potentially increasing issues with (a-d). It’s not either/or. These are all genuine concerns.

@GaryMarcus @GaryMarcus Which one is the *least* important threat: a) Nuclear weapons b) Biological weapons c) Conventional weapons d) Climate Change e) GPT-5 Which ones could possibly kill millions of humans and, more importantly, how?
