The COSMAC 1802 microprocessor (1976) had approximately 5,000 transistors, and 16x16-bit internal registers. The MOS 6502 (1975) had even fewer transistors, yet went on to power most of the early PC era.

A human brain weighs 3lbs and draws 30W.
Are we scaling in the wrong direction?

#GOFAI code is actually fun. It is a rewarding mental workout, not a mental atrophy. #computerscience #graphtheory

Suing OpenAI because their stupid clanker told me to carry the goat then the beans to the other side of the river and when I brought back the fox, the fucking beans were gone #gofai

45+ years ago, I met the Canadian physicist who wrote Microchess at his little lab in east Toronto. That short chat started me on my A.I. journey.

The Fritz Thyssen Foundation has fully granted our application for a publication cost subsidy for the volume 'What was Artificial Intelligence? contours of a research field 1975-2000 in Germany', which is based on the conference that took place at HU Berlin in 2022.

The book is edited by Martin Schmitt (Uni Paderborn) and me and will be published in the #ComputerArchaeology series this year.

#UI #HCI #programming aitch, see I have a point about the #useability discussions from cognitive #gofai good-old-fashioned-ai from Sandewall because honestly who else are you expecting me to paraphrase.

We want computer programs to be smart in the same way humans are smart, but the way we make computer programs use computers is very different to how humans use computers in the first place.

The idea would be that both computer programs and humans should use literally the same expert systems.

@rat though because I was concerned that showing people that /I/ figured out how to do something was not having that high transmission to /others/ also happily doing those things when they want to. Whence my sojourn back to software individuals. If I can teach a software individual of mine to do something, you can do the same thing I did to teach your software individual, then when you want that your software individual is the one who knows how to do the thing if that makes sense. #GOFAI

Okay, tomorrow I'm just going to present where I kinda suddenly got to this past week with Sandewall's #Leonardo #SoftwareIndividuals, which is quite far really.

These are basically the most advanced point cognitive good-old-fashioned-a-i got to in my opinion, concluding with Sandewall's 2 unpublished open access books in 2014. #gofai #ai #cai

I added a puppet prototype for my own #lispmoo2 submission to my own #lispmoo2jam.

Puppets are actually crazy. You just pass her a piece of paper and she does whatever's on it, up to and including possessing you and driving you around if that was an implication of one of the commands you gave her that you didn't really think through.

@judell Sorry, no. Machine learning can't help there.
What is needed is search and techniques from #GOFAI such as operations research and MILP solvers.

HT x sharing, enjoyed listening:

• Compare current to #gofAI begging #ML algos & tools

• Cool #RichSutton #TheBitterLessonInML remark that generic algos, w/o use of larger real datasets for training models, will beat expert algos & shorter datasets.

• Remark of synthetic data for training, yet employ with caution, and only helpful for some cases.

• Cool Q&A long answer for now is too late for keeping free internet datasets non-contaminated of synthetic BS .

weekend yt lecture suggestion:

“What's wrong with #LLMs
&
what we should be building instead”

ಠ_ಠ

issues:
• Incorrect & contradictory answers
• Dangerous & socially unacceptable answers
• Expensive to train & lack of updatability
• Lack of attribution & poor non-linguistic knowledge

challenges:
• Sepparate Linguistics from World Knowdledge
• Functioning Episodic Memory
