co-sign. a very handy mental framework for what kinds of learning transformers do well today, and why it runs into limitations. when @ankit2119 and i wrote about the need for adversarial world models earlier this year, we were describing a couple of the functions of these rungs

I²B-LPO: Branching AI Reasoning at Confusion Points
By
–
Are your AI models stuck in a rut, repeating the same narrow reasoning? Alibaba's DAMO Academy and partners (USTC, SJTU, Zhejiang, Northeastern) introduce I²B-LPO. Instead of randomly tweaking words, it branches reasoning at key confusion points and uses an information

LLM Ideation: Coherence vs. Availability Trade-off
By
–
The key distinction here is worth sitting with: Standard LLM ideation can be coherent but available. Random recombination can be unavailable but incoherent. The target is the rare quadrant: coherent but unavailable. That is where this paper gets interesting.

Demis says the Singularity may now be only a few years away, potentially set in motion by the arrival of true AGI.

LLMs should aid human learning, creativity, and experimentation
By
–
I feel that the trend towards training models to autonomously go off and try to do everything themselves is anti-human. We should, IMO, be training LLMs to support humans in their learning, creativity, and iterative experimentation.

Learning an LLM from the whole Internet is a spectacularly inefficient way to understand language.
