The consensus of analysts is that AI capital investments will rise by 20% a year for five years while revenues are expected to grow 15% resulting in negative returns. 'The AI boom will become a story
the crazy part is that people are “clowning” me without knowing anything about the training or whether anything else other than scaled changed or how the model does on anything else. (or what it costs

Politicians who boost AI do not represent the views of their constituents. New polling in the UK shows: - Most people think AI will destroy more jobs than it creates (57% v 17%) - 7 in 10 are worried

I love AI, it’s pure LLMs I hate. Pure LLMs *are* basically just autocomplete. Recent progress (e.g. Claude Code) doesn’t show otherwise Rather, lot of the progress in the last two years has come from

just as i feared AI can be a powerful tool for opening people up to new perspectives, yet we find that people actually prefer to use “sycophantic” AI systems that reinforce their pre-existing beliefs.
Note that as of last summer Waymo said that LLMs/VLMs were experimental, and that their foundation model then could “process only a small amount of image frames, does not incorporate accurate 3D sensi

the AI trial of the century ended with a procedural whimper rather a bang; the jury agreed that Musk was too late but never weighed in on the questions of whether OpenAI did was legitimate. and so we
The pure LLM debate - which I had for many years, here and elsewhere - is indeed no longer relevant. Why? Because I won; nobody uses pure LLMs anymore. Nowadays all deployed objects are neurosymbolic,

symbolic tools like those listed below - rather than pure scaling -are likely driving most of the advances now. once you realize that you realize that hyperscaling is probably insane. @GaryMarcus IMHO
the whole point of databases is to keep reliable records of values that change over time. in general, they can be trusted to be stable over time. the whole point of LLMs is to raise money. in general
