  1. @geeknik

    #maxtegmark was talking how in his research, #LLM actually "comprehend" a subject, when they create a #platonic model.
    Though a platonic model of cognition has been discredited, it apparently holds true for LLMs.

    He was saying how for numerical representation the AI creates a one dimensional axis with tens, hundreds etc as circles around the axis.

    Other examples of geometric shapes to aid understanding...

    So there is a cognitive effort in frontier models beyond initial learning.

  2. Interesting podcast if you want to keep up-to-date with the #Physics world (of which I’m a long term novice!)

    Most recent episode on the ‘Universal Connector’ with favorite #DavidDeutsch

    "Could we build a machine that can carry out any task? The meta-framework "Constructor Theory" suggests we might be able to make such a universal constructor. David Deutsch discusses the implications of such a machine for physics, for the economy, and for humans. Deutsch also talks about problems in funding for fundamental physics”

  3. Det var märkligt att Max Tegmark pratade så varmt om en så konstig bok i sitt Sommar i P1, tyckte jag. Här undrar jag lite mer systematiskt över den saken:

  4. Having read (and mostly enjoyed) books by Max Tegmark, Stuart Russell, Ray Kurzweil, Brian Christian, Ajay Agrawal and Nick Bostrom in recent months, its been Melanie Mitchell (AI: a guide for thinking humans), D'Iganzio & Klein (Data Feminism) and Erica Thompson (Escape from Model Land) that I think have provided some of the most balanced and insightful perspectives on AI and data science.

  5. The #AI pause letter signed by #ElonMusk has fake signatures, and has been denounced as unhinged.

    That's physicist #MaxTegmark's reputation buggered. His #FutureOfLife institute behind the open letter should have known better, and its incompetence will hinder credible criticism of AI/Machine Learning.
