  1. Seems like #GaryMarcus is changing his tone: garymarcus.substack.com/p/the-

    Well, I disagree with his take on #ClaudeCode being #neurosymbolic and that it "changes everything". An if clause in the #LLM orchestration or harness does not make a neurosymbolic #AI

    Zooming out a bit though, I think he starts seeing coding assistants in a more positive light.

  6. #ClaudeCode isn’t better because of #scaling. It’s better because it is #neurosymbolic. #Anthropic accepted the importance of using #classical #AI #techniques alongside #neuralnetworks — precisely the marriage I have spent my career advocating.” - #GaryMarcus open.substack.com/pub/garymarc...

  15. Gary has a point, at the same it is not the whole story in my view. Regardless the scam and all the bad things, Generative AI has added value for me here and now. That doesn't diminish the scam and all the bad effects of the technology, still it is also a perspective.

  24. Gary Marcus: GPT-5: Overdue, overhyped and underwhelming. And that’s not the worst of it.. “Typical was a comment from Andres Franco, on X ‘GPT 5 has been a huge letdown, way more than I expected’. Another reader, previously an OpenAI fan, told me ‘o3 was a shit good model, [whereas GPT-5] was an utter disappointment, especially given the kind of hype towards its release.’ An NBA President […]

  26. Gary Marcus has a point with asking for giving neurosymbolic AI a chance. At the same time something like Genie 3 shows that we have not hit a wall yet, at least with world models.

  31. Weekly output: Dashlane, T-Mobile home 5G, AI skepticism at Black Hat, the Fourth Amendment at Black Hat, Black Hat’s network, AOL dial-up

    Black Hat is one of the more exhausting and intimidating events that I cover. That’s not because I stress over the risk of my devices getting compromised, but because almost all of its two-day schedule is blocked out by timeslots featuring from nine to 11 briefings each. That increases the odds of my missing something good and reduces the time in which I can write up what I do see.

    Over at Patreon, I explained to readers why I decided not to stick around Vegas for another couple of days to cover the DEF CON security conference, somewhat to my dismay.

    8/6/2025: Dashlane to Delete Its Free Tier of Service, PCMag

    I wrote this Monday afternoon off an embargoed copy of Dashlane’s press release after getting further input from a publicist on two points.

    8/6/2025: T-Mobile Tweaks 5G Home Internet to Add Benefits (and Fine-Print Fees), PCMag

    An editor suggested I take a look at the T-Mobile announcement heralding some added perks to its fixed-wireless service, then I noticed a change in the fine print around its prices. That made this much more interesting to write about.

    8/7/2025: This AI Skeptic Thinks AI Is Bringing Human Brains Down to Its Level, PCMag

    After catching the tail end of a panel featuring Gary Marcus at Web Summit Vancouver, I made sure to watch his talk at Black Hat and found that an excellent use of my time.

    8/8/2025: ACLU Expert: Please Don’t Make Bulk Snooping by Governments Easier, PCMag

    Jennifer Granick’s talk was another one I’d put on my to-watch list after first looking over Black Hat’s schedule. I wish I shared her optimism that more companies would be inspired to adopt data-minimization practices to avoid aiding government surveillance.

    8/9/2025: Inside Black Hat’s Network Security Operation: Humans Are Still a Problem, PCMag

    After several years of writing about the penultimate panel in which Black Hat network admins relate how the event’s network worked and how badly some attendees behaved on it, I had the chance to quiz two of these experts beforehand. I should have done that sooner!

    8/9/2025: End of an E-Era: AOL to End Dial-Up Internet Access, PCMag

    I did not plan on working Saturday morning after the cognitive overload of Black Hat, but seeing tech journalist Ernie Smith’s Bluesky post highlighting the impending demise of AOL’s dial-up access left me feeling compelled as a Gen Xer to write about it. Unfortunately, my sleep debt may have caught up with me when I left two cringe-inducing typos in the same snakebit paragraph: spelling “America Online” as “American Online” and writing that the company’s 15th birthday happened in 2020, not 2000.
