Oh I see now. The paper suddenly goes impenetrable after the notion of generative models appears. Which might be a reflection of how we jumped from understandable and explainable heuristic #gofai #ai to more opaque methods we have to explain with math, because they don't fit into words anymore.

Reading a survey paper on vector embedding algorithms (ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/d) And oh god, the stuff surely looks extremely simple in retrospect. To the point of wondering what these #NLP people were even doing with such primitive tools. The jump to #LLM driven NLP looks extremely abrupt with this paper.

It might be that I picked an extremely subject-focused paper, though. Or just that I didn't finish it yet. Anyway, if I continue down the GOFNLP (Good Old-Fashioned NLP, like #GOFAI) road, I might change my views on that. And I both might (aartaka.me/tarot-biases) and might not actually follow that road. Who knows 🤷

#UI #HCI #programming aitch, see I have a point about the #useability discussions from cognitive #gofai good-old-fashioned-ai from Sandewall because honestly who else are you expecting me to paraphrase.

We want computer programs to be smart in the same way humans are smart, but the way we make computer programs use computers is very different to how humans use computers in the first place.

The idea would be that both computer programs and humans should use literally the same expert systems.

@rat though because I was concerned that showing people that /I/ figured out how to do something was not having that high transmission to /others/ also happily doing those things when they want to. Whence my sojourn back to software individuals. If I can teach a software individual of mine to do something, you can do the same thing I did to teach your software individual, then when you want that your software individual is the one who knows how to do the thing if that makes sense. #GOFAI

Okay, tomorrow I'm just going to present where I kinda suddenly got to this past week with Sandewall's #Leonardo #SoftwareIndividuals, which is quite far really.

These are basically the most advanced point cognitive good-old-fashioned-a-i got to in my opinion, concluding with Sandewall's 2 unpublished open access books in 2014. #gofai #ai #cai

I added a puppet prototype for my own #lispmoo2 submission to my own #lispmoo2jam.

Puppets are actually crazy. You just pass her a piece of paper and she does whatever's on it, up to and including possessing you and driving you around if that was an implication of one of the commands you gave her that you didn't really think through.

If you like estimates of which #technology R&D approaches are likely to succeed, or interested in where #AI is headed, you might enjoy this Metaculus question. Open for comment now & prediction in 2 days. Resolves in Dec.

"Will conventional pre-#LLM #GOFAI (graph search, tree search, game play or symbolic logic) be a part of the top-ranked AI in the 2024 Abstraction & #Reasoning Corpus (#ARC) competition?"

While chain of thought (CoT) does help with symbolic and reasoning tasks for LLMs, it does show allmost no improvement in other tasks. Why do we try to improve LLMs this way, knowing they will never reach the accuracy of like logic programs, expert systems, knowledge bases and similar, is beyond me huggingface.co/papers/2409.121

@judell Sorry, no. Machine learning can't help there.
What is needed is search and techniques from #GOFAI such as operations research and MILP solvers.

HT x sharing, enjoyed listening:

• Compare current to begging algos & tools

• Cool remark that generic algos, w/o use of larger real datasets for training models, will beat expert algos & shorter datasets.

• Remark of synthetic data for training, yet employ with caution, and only helpful for some cases.

• Cool Q&A long answer for now is too late for keeping free internet datasets non-contaminated of synthetic BS .

weekend yt lecture suggestion:

“What's wrong with
&
what we should be building instead”

ಠ_ಠ

issues:
• Incorrect & contradictory answers
• Dangerous & socially unacceptable answers
• Expensive to train & lack of updatability
• Lack of attribution & poor non-linguistic knowledge

challenges:
• Sepparate Linguistics from World Knowdledge
• Functioning Episodic Memory
