Generative AI’s net negative societal impact debated
By
–
sure there have been some positive uses cases. but that what is marred by how many artists would screwed in the process. and this is just one of many negative consequences. in my overall judgement, genai has on net has been a negative for society.

Debating the existence of world models in AI
By
–
that’s not the logic per se there is no deep comprehension because there are no world models recombination of partial regurgitation is what they do instead

Debating Geoffrey Hinton’s Perspective on LLM Memorization Processes
By
–
this quote does not mean the same thing. Hinton is trying to saddle me with saying the memorization is the only operative process and I never said that and don’t say it in this quote. there is not “that is all” here putting together bits of text is not the same pure

Debating the economic ROI of major AI labs
By

that’s actual speculative; so far OpenAI and Anthropic have lost money and most businesses have not gotten significant RoI

Gary Marcus’s Warnings on AI Generalization Proven True
By
–
“Marcus's repeated warnings about the "wall of generalization" since 1998 have once again been proven true.”

Evolution of Excel: From Early ML to LLMs
By

excel didn’t have LLMs in the 90s (it did have some ML, which I have praised, but not that far back).

Claude Code and the Neurosymbolic Approach to LLM Limitations
By
–
claude code is an immense neurosymbolic effort to ward off the failure of pure LLMs. you sir are lost.

Technical analysis of neurosymbolic AI architecture
By
–
it’s a klugey neurosymbolic system but its certainly neurosymbolic. it’s certainly NOT a pure neural networks, and certainly not a pure symbolic system. it is a blend. (and of course lots of symbolic systems are kluges)
