I research fundamental physics and the brain. Distance is a creation of the mind. Intelligence is deterministic and causal, not probabilistic and correlational.

What is our intelligence, if LLMs can mimic it so easily?

I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights. What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up.

Ben Goertzel says proto-AGI may be more dangerous than full AGI. Systems smart enough to run weapons, surveillance, and strategy but without real understanding or wisdom. That creates superhuman war capability directed by flawed humans. Full AGI might make better decisions than that.




Yann LeCun says today's AI systems are very stupid in many ways, and we're fooled by their language skills They don't understand the physical world, lack persistent memory, and can't reason or plan "the next step is a new deep learning system built around those missing abilities"

The most expensive experiment in history: Meta spent $80 billion on the Metaverse. It will be shut down for good in June. $80,000,000,000 just gone.

There is a tremendous amount of progress happening in World Models. Multiple labs have raised more than $1B. WMs were the star of GTC. They are a real path to embodied AI. So @PimDeWitte & I wrote a comprehensive 19k word overview of World Models. notboring.co/p/world-models



Disturbing anecdotal reports of "AI psychosis" and negative psychological effects have been emerging in the news. But what actually happens during these lengthy delusional "spirals"? In our preprint, we analyze chat logs from 19 users who experienced severe psychological harm🧵👇

Ouch, update - it turns out the final price tag on Zuckerberg's cringe VR flop "the metaverse" is $80 billion. He literally wasted the GDP of a small nation on a nerd toy for himself. And now it's folded.




No AGI for the Frenchman Amazing. AI godfather @ylecun thinks he's smarter than nature. He wants to solve intelligence by creating a new system, but guess what? The new system will still be based on deep learning. Huh? 🤦♂️ This begs the question: If it's still based on DL, how is it a new system? Moreover, if solving intelligence is the goal, the fact that DL cannot learn continually in the real world is a fatal flaw. There are several more fatal flaws with DL but this one kills it dead in the stables before it can even join the race. 😬 LeCun knows this, but he won't mention it. Why? Because DL is all that he knows. He swings it like a hammer and everything looks like a nail in his eyes. No AGI for the Frenchman, I'm afraid. 😀






Free newsletter: Why're we still doing this? Despite $1tr+ in investment, every AI company is unprofitable, LLMs have yet to provide tangible productivity benefits, and private credit-backed data center debt may be the next great financial crisis. wheresyoured.at/why-are-we-sti…
