Human Cognitive Errors vs LLM Hallucinations Explained
By
–
So many people are confused about the relation between human cognitive errors and LLM hallucinations that I wrote this short explainer two years ago. Since many of those confusions persist, I am reposting:
-
Real Grounding Failure in AI Approaches

the failure of real grounding pervades the entire approach

By
–
afaik all tool use is neurosymbolic, but not all neurosymbolic involves tool use. that is, all tools i know of leverage symbolic AI/CS techniques, and in this context they do so in conjunction with neural networks. LLMs can’t natively do math reliably

“It’s still copyright infringement all the way down.”

LLMs as False Start: Systemic Flaws and Capital Misallocation
By
–
What if the whole LLM thing is a false start? If the flaws are inherent systemic problems – if the compounding of hallucinations/errors can't be sorted out? If the capex build out is one of the biggest misallocations of capital ever? Then what? bloomberg.com/news/newslette…
