Right now, "killer drones" are protecting European democracies against an invader.

LLMs Dominated by Industry Limits Academic Research Contribution
By
–
I didn't say that. I said that LLM is in the hands of industry, is largely engineering, and requires too much computing resources for academics to contribute significantly. More importantly, LLMs are today's technology. Academic researchers, particularly PhD students, should be

Joint Embedding Architectures: Vision Encoders Beyond LLMs
By
–
Through 1. Vision encoders that are not LLMs. They are actually Joint Embedding Architectures that embed images and text description in the same space
2. Painfully exhaustive training on enormous amounts of declarative facts about the physical world. You can train them to answer -
Why LLMs fail at physical world understanding compared to JEPA
By
–
We still don't have AI systems that understand the physical world as well as a cat. JEPA are getting there. LLMs and other generative architectures are not. Generative architectures, particularly those that produce discrete tokens like LLMs simply ***DO NOT WORK*** for

Exponential Growth is Actually Sigmoid Curves in Disguise
By
–
People criticize me because they fail to see that every real-world process that looks like an exponential is really the initial segment of a sigmoid. Even processes that remain exponential for a while are actually a succession of small sigmoids, each corresponding to a major

Joint Embedding Architectures Outperform Generative Models for Sensor Data
By
–
What proves that the generative approach is wrong is oodles of empirical results showing the superiority of joint embedding architectures over generative ones (based on reconstruction) for natural sensor data (e.g. images and video). It's not just for self-supervised learning

LLMs Useful But Limited for Robot-Rich Future Success
By
–
1. I never said LLMs were not useful. They are, particularly with all the bells and whistles that are being added to them. I use them.
2. A robot-rich future can't be built with AIs that don't understand the physical world and don't anticipate the consequences of their actions. -
AI Saves Lives: Medical Imaging and Vehicle Safety Systems
By
–
Actually, AI already saves lives. In several countries, mammograms are examined by AI and radiologists. Reliability is improved. In the EU, every car sold must be equipped with Automatic Emergency Braking Systems. That's AI. They reduce frontal collisions by 40%.

Reagan’s Policies: Labor Productivity Decoupling and Media Deregulation
By
–
The Great Decoupling of labor productivity and median income with Reagan's tax cuts in the early 1980s. Also Reagan's abandonment of the FCC Fairness Doctrine, which opened the door to shameless propaganda on TV and radio.
