> Same, but I don't think it's possible without a large and sustained investment into a free geometric modelling kernel, which can probably be only done by a government. Can you help me understand why this problem is so hard?

Is anyone aware of any benchmark evaluation for handwriting recognition? I have not been able to find one, myself — which is somewhat surprising.

Hit me up, if you can. I’m focused on neolatin texts from the renaissance. Less than 30% of known book editions have been scanned and less than 5% translated. And that’s before even getting to the manuscripts. https://Ancientwisd

Where does this style of writing come from? It’s pretty distinct and makes it so easy to detect.

Very different, it would seem. Then again, it’s never been clear to me why LeCun believes that LLM architectures don’t inherently produce world models in the course of training.

Fine: Will the average person, after 1000 hours of practice, really be rated better than AI at music, writing, visual art, coding, research, etc?

> That's much less clear to me. But you must see that, if this point falls away, so does the argument. “With some practice” surely means less 100 hours of practice. Not extensive practice, or PhD level practice or master-level pract

Happiness is overrated. Meaningful, rich lives are filled with conflict, anxiety and regular disappointment. It’s not happiness, exactly, but I wouldn’t trade it.

Remember, that AI is a “jagged frontier.” AI is already better than a 50th percentile human on many/most intellectual tasks. Chess, writing business plans, literature reviews, emails, motion graphics, coding… So, if we say “AI is not A

That’s like Peter Norvig’s definition of AGI [1] which is defined with respect to general purpose digital computers. The general intelligence refers to the foundation model that can be repurposed to many different contexts. I like that defi

Check out the article. He’s not crazy. It comes down to clear definitions. We can talk about AGI for ages, but without a clear meaning, it’s just opinion.

“Moving the goalposts” in AI usually means the opposite of devaluing the term. Peter Norvig (former research director at Google and author of the most popular textbook on AI) offers a mainstream perspective that AGI is already here: https:

This article title seems like more ragebait for the AI haters. Like that MIT news that using AI reduces brain function. There is a whole arsenal of material like this.

On the other hand, formulaic disagreement underpins most of modern media; made by humans or not, it ends up as dehumanizing as a train wreck.
