In the debat about whether AI / LLMs can reason or not it's to good to remember this quote from 1984 from Dijkstra , a dutch computer scientist, ""The question of whether Machines Can Think... is about as relevant as the question of whether Submarines Can Swim." #AI #LLM #reasoning

"What he discovered seems simple on its surface, but the quality of the result has deeper implications for the future of AI assistants, which may soon be able to see and interact with what we're doing on our computer screens."

Great summary of the debate about LLMs and whether they are reasoning or not and what their quality is in that respect.

LinkedIn uses it's data for training AI models, nothing new, but the update of their privacy policy reminded me about that. It must offer amazing and scary possibilities if you think about the fact that the complete social graph of people and businesses is in LinkedIn data. Also we have no way to independently check/audit that data for EU citizens is excluded (or am I missing something). #linkedin #microsoft #ai #privacy #personaldata #eu

Good essay to read, whether you agree with him or not, well argumented and written by Dario Amodei from Anthropic. "Machines of Loving Grace, How AI Could Transform the World for the Better"

We’re on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science.

NotebookLM experimentje gedaan, toespraak van WIlhelmina voor Radio Oranje ( 28-11-1944) geupload (geluidsfile, 197 MB). Na 2 minuten analyse van de toespraak, beschikbaar in Notebook, met een samenvattig etc, als ik er naar vraag ook een letterlijke transcriptie (!). De potentie van de deze tool voor analyse van content, ook voor audio, is enorm. En dan heb ik het nog niet eens over de veelgenoemde podcast functionaliteit. #AI #NotebookLM #audio

It's clear that Google has scored a hit with NotebookLM, 80.000+ organisations use it already, no longer experimental and new features are added. Personally i am also enthusiastic, best AI application since ChatGPT in my view. It also illustrates that having the most powerful model is not necessarily the only thing that counts.

Quantum technology is getting better in hacking encryption it seems, difficult to judge however from the outside how practical this all is.

Chinese Scientists Report Using Quantum Computer to Hack Military-grade Encryption

Chinese researchers, using a D-Wave device, claim to have executed the first successful quantum attack on widely used encryption algorithms.

I don't understand the obsession with the fact that LLMs/ AI models are not truly intelligent , don't understand anything and can not really reason (at least for now). That doesn't diminish their added value in many scenarions and applications. It's good to know the limitations described in the attached paper and take them into account, start working on mitigating these vulnerabilities. That will happen, we are not at the end of AI development. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2410.05229 #AI #reasoning

I use https://www.perplexity.ai/ for almost all my searches instead of Google, the way it presents it's sources makes it easy to check the information and the output is better then with Google. Recommended. #Perplexity #AI #search #google

Good sceptical article by Gary Marcus, regardless the fundamental problems with current LLMs , progress is remarkable however in my opinion. So reliable agents with LLMs are a problem, many other applications are not,

LLMs don’t do formal reasoning - and that is a HUGE problem

Important new study from Apple

Nu de Nobel prijzen bekend zijn kunnen we de discussie dat AI alleen maar een hype is, generatieve AI alleen maar een domme “ autocomplete” etcetera wel stoppen lijkt me. Los van het feit dat in de ontwikkeling van AI ook veel gebakken lucht zit maar dat kent elke technologie wel. #ai #nobel

Boeiend, ik krijg deze melding bij ChatGPT, het werkt overigens nog niet maar wellicht moet ik geduld hebben "Download de nieuwste iOS- of Android-app om de geavanceerde spraakmodus te proberen Voer natuurlijkere gesprekken in realtime met geavanceerde spraak. Voelt humor, sarcasme en meer aan en reageert erop." #AI #openAI #chatgpt #advancedvoicemode

Fascinating blog from May 2024 by Avital Balwit, working at Anthropic. Many observations i recognise, like this one, ""The general reaction to language models among knowledge workers is one of denial. They grasp at the ever diminishing number of places where such models still struggle, rather than noticing the ever-growing range of tasks where they have reached or passed human level" Also we are a bit in denial about the future impact of AI on our society in my view.

I am wondering about actual implementations and use of large generative AI models like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude , Llama, Mistral etc in companies/organisations and how risks with regard to security, privacy, IP etc. are mitigated or controlled. Not a lot of case-studies are available it seems ? #AI #ChatGPT #Claude #Llama #implementation #security #privacy #IP
