It was incredibly sweet to see Hinton teach @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social some deep learning!

Yes, and also, this isn't real "news" :-)

It is good content though.

Google is going ‘all in’ on AI. It’s part of a troubling trend in big tech Google’s approach could harm competition and creativity, and make the AI industry even less transparent.

My latest @theconversation.com article on Google's new "AI mode" and the issues with vertical integration 👇🏼

Some great reporting work here!

Very cool. Looking forward to your demo at Tinkerers! :-)

"But, so many ways to exit... Gee, I wonder if I am doing the right thing here as a beginner..."

Don't get me wrong -- absolutely ❤️ vim.

You guys, look, we are headed towards the trough of disillusionment [1]

[1] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gartner...

I'll hazard a summary: we seem to be on some kind of a downward spiral of bad leadership -> bad outcomes for everyone (especially working class) -> bad leadership.

Historically, democracies tend to self-correct. So, if you have a hopeful outlook (like mine), you say: eh, this too shall pass.

Gary Marcus' analysis is the opposite of level-headed. It is self-indulgent and biased in its own way.

o3 is not AGI.

But, it does represents a substantial improvement on one important benchmark and open labs will replicate it and we will learn a lot more soon.

I get that you want to fight the hype (I do too!)

But, is getting into a rapid-response mode really the right approach here?

Let more data come in. We will learn what is what in some time. Give open labs time to replicate findings.

Let the scientific inquiry take its course.

Peace!

This is a "war"... Really?

You made one off-hand comment from a journalist into a blog post...

And your post is all confused... Somehow, you are equating human intelligence to AGI, which... I don't even know where to begin with that.

And you have made it all about some "influencers" and yourself.

YouTube video by seremot Ilya Sutskever: "Sequence to sequence learning with neural networks: what a decade"

IMO, the best moment of Ilya Sutskever’s insightful talk at NeurIPS was his answer to this question towards the end:

Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman on what the industry is getting wrong about AGI The head of Microsoft’s AI division on competing with Google and how to define superintelligence.

@reckless.bsky.social did a revealing interview of Mustafa Suleyman for Decoder:

1. His vagueness about the MS<–>OAI partnership hangs ominously, like a Chekhov’s gun.

2. His answer on how he makes decisions makes me think that he has never given the idea of "how to decide" any thought, ever.

Yeah. It is weird. The solution is open alternatives! so happy to see you hanging here! :)

Also, are you folks thinking about using the AT protocol for The Verge. If you do, I will subscribe!

Promise. :-)

Happy building! :)

Would love to learn more about your experience as you build it.

All the best!

Glad that we are talking about AI power concentration!

Agree but not it's not just rhetoric from well-funded companies training models...

Solutions for less concentration might be both political (inequality?) and technical (R&D for efficient models) as well.

Right now. "they" own the rails.

I am thankful that you decided to execute towards your vision!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and the team at Bluesky!

Essay suggests LLM training is hitting a scaling wall —diminishing returns from bigger models or more data.

Remedy: train models to reason step-by-step, trading training compute for inference compute.

But the remedy might not be all that is promised:

Building techne.app

Yes. It's that extension that helps people make sense of Hacker News! (for now)

Thanks for adding me to the SP! Looking forward to sharing progress and learn what other folks in the community here are up to.
