The first link is about consciousness. The second link is that language is not thought. The third link is that intentions as "discrete mental states" may not be found in the brain.…

How so?

The first link is about how philosophy and psychology is used to describe brain-cognitive behavior research, which has a limited explanatory capability compared to a hypothetical i…

Marble appears to be like HunyuanWorld to me, but this time they marketed it as a first step to a world model, and it has multimodal capabilities.

I think video and agentic and multimodal models have led to this point, but actually making a world model may provide to be long and difficult. I feel LeCun is correct that LLMs as…

You cannot be serious if you expect people to mind read through your typos and make sense of them. Is this supposed to be a performative art piece to demonstrate your point? If you…

Humans have created semantic connections of images and words to thoughts, and LLMs learn from the implicit semantic meanings behind the words used in text. Humans after all have to…

You appear to be using random words and phrases to intentionally obfuscate the lack of substance in your responses. There is a baseline expectation of how quotes and citations are …

That exact quote does not appear in the paper. You cannot attack me for your lack of due diligence. This paper does little to dismiss LLMs. LLMs can use a different medium than tex…

When I look up that quote, it leads back to Hacker News comments. It is also a strange way to make a citation. You make blanket statements that are easily argued against, and now y…

The keyword of that study is consciousness, which I'd consider a separate goal than an "intelligence". LLM proponents are aware that their architecture lacks many parts of what con…

Neural nets and LLMs were created based on neuroscience research. Ultimately they are approximations of how parts of the human brain works. The real concern of having no biomechani…

The idea of this style of research and engineering in general is to create an approximation of observations of nature. To follow completely in your footsteps would require recreati…

Identitarian politics can either be explicitly enforced or implicitly allowed. The woke chose the former. The opposition can do the latter but they also believe in checking identit…

There has been a consistent desire to unify the desktop environments, but the fragmentation has largely been because of differing use cases and philosophical perspectives. This div…

The case against LLM is thinking could be that "backpropagation is a leaky abstraction." Whether LLM is thinking depends on how well the mathematical model is defined. Ultimately, …

If we had a society of actual engineers and hackers, sure. However, LLMs for the vast majority of people are simple chatbot oracles. The people paying exorbinant wealth in investme…

After reading this, it could be said that instead of work, we have abstracted it away. The capitalism of Marx dealt with the real work of productive factories. Neoliberal capitalis…

That leads to the cost of cleaning up after the customer to make sure they can buy what they need. Before Amazon, there were the club warehouse retail models like Costco where the …

We could be spending our time more wisely, but our addiction to quarterly cycles needs something now as opposed to a hypothetical better future for the displaced workers.

Software jobs replaced administrative white collar jobs where instead of the bureaucracy being human interaction and paper forms, it is computerized and encoded in malleable and ev…

Authoritarian vs democracy is too overly simplistic a framework, IMO. More rather it is Chinese Marxist-Leninist democratic centralism vs Western liberal representative republics. …

LLMs should at least -know- the semantics about the text it analyzed as opposed to the syntax.

What are the large context, strong reasoning, and linguistic facility for if there aren't facts underpinning them? Is a priori wholly independent of a posteriori? Is it practical f…

If this were to be an analogy to AI, would inference discover information that wasn't found during training? Is this where hallucinations come from?
