On the topic of Billions we’re presented with the idea that reputation scoring will somehow save us from dystopia. OMG. Non-contextual, non-permissioned reputation scoring IS dystopian.

I appreciate the topic discussed is challenging, so source some third party expertise for goodness sake.

Supersoftware is software that is itself symbolic AI. It can reason about itself.

All domains share a reactive and reflective symbolic system. It's syntactically and semantically homoiconic just like human language.

You might say the semantic web is technical and totalizing whereas the meaningful web is contextual, plural, natural, human.

To be most useful, LLMs must share our world model(s), our contexts, our grounding. And we can help them do that in neurosymbolic synergy with our supersoftware.

Semantic in semweb contexts --> the precise definition of words and their relationships within a specific language system; the objective technical aspects.

Meaningful --> the overall significance and implications of something, often involving subjective (i.e. human) and contextual interpretation.

Korny maintains mental models, because human.

What if we could engineer software for the LLM age that becomes the 'world model'?

AI-augmented software development is challenging.

LLMs are producing technical debt and vulnerabilities at an unprecedented rate, else hitting productivity as engineers try to catch it all.

@garymarcus.bsky.social would <cough> hint gently at a neurosymbolic resolution. So do we.
