1. "Nobody in their right mind will use autoregressive LLMs a few years from now." The technology powering ChatGPT and GPT-4? Dead within years. The problem isn't fixable with more data or compute. It's architectural. Here's where it gets interesting...

Beyond training AI in vector space we could be building a conceptual world view model / KG connecting entities and properties? Challenges and it might require quite a lot of human input (and debate on the model specifics), but surely this is the grounding required for #AGI?

AI PROMPTING → AI VERIFYING AI prompting scales, because prompting is just typing. But AI verifying doesn’t scale, because verifying AI output involves much more than just typing. Sometimes you can verify by eye, which is why AI is great for frontend, images, and video. But for anything subtle, you need to read the code or text deeply — and that means knowing the topic well enough to correct the AI. Researchers are well aware of this, which is why there’s so much work on evals and hallucination. However, the concept of verification as the bottleneck for AI users is under-discussed. Yes, you can try formal verification, or critic models where one AI checks another, or other techniques. But to even be aware of the issue as a first class problem is half the battle. For users: AI verifying is as important as AI prompting.

Number crunching: Fiscal ‘black holes’ From the new Private Eye, out now.

@ListerLawrence Once the drivetrain dies you could get Electric Classic Cars to convert it. Plenty of space under the bonnet for batteries.

A good friend of mine bought this W123 a little over a year ago to beat ULEZ charges. A year later he’s saved £720 on Ulez fees, has zero road tax and his classic car insurance is £150 per year. AND zero break downs! 🤯This has to be the way forwards if you live in London! 👌

"If we're going to develop new DATA CENTERS, they're likely to go in PRIME AGRICULTURAL LAND. They're likely to require a whole lot of WATER & ENERGY SYSTEMS" Katherine Daniell, WEF #AMNC24 Summer Davos

My first day working as a consultant at Microsoft! All going extremely well apart from tripping over a cable. 99% sure I plugged it back in the right socket.

Very interesting development today. Is this the start of long suspected #Cloudgate as hyperscaler claims that often looked too good to be true turn out that way? #TechSustainability #ArchitectTomorrow

What exactly is sustainable software and why should businesses care about it? ♻️ Technology Director and Sustainable Tech Leader @cronky explains tech sustainability and why it's so important – both financially and reputationally – for businesses to implement such practices.

Latest episode of #ArchitectTomorrow Listen to "Sustainable IT Advice from Gael Duez of Green IO" podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cronk…

@clim8resistance It doesn't require degrowth, but it does require us to bake in externalities and look at approaches such as Economy for Common Good and Doughnut economics. ecogood.org doughnuteconomics.org/about-doughnut…

If you believe that "tackling climate change" is a problem that doesn't require "degrowth", then you have never looked at the history of that problem's development from green ideology. It was *always* about degrowth.
