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. -
