Nope. It's still true. Where is your domestic robot? Where is your Level-5 self-driving car? Where is your robot car that can learn to drive in a few hours of practice like any 17 year old? Where is your AI system that can understand the real world and quickly learn new skills like a house cat? There is no question that AI will eventually become as intelligent as humans in all domains. *** BUT *** 1. We're still far from that, even if AI and computer technology surpasses humans in an ever-increasing number of tasks. 2. It won't be based on LLMs, although LLMs will have a role to play (e.g. as a text interface).

Every realizable transition between states is computational, and a universal computer is a system that can realize any transition. Hence, all universal computers are equivalent, but in reality fall apart in different ways, depending on how they run out of resources (time, memory)

Its over. From now on everything will be invented by Sakana AI.

I have been a vocal AI hope advocate, and in response, the leading figures of the doomer organizations, including Yudkowsky, Tallinn, Tegmark, Aguirre, Habryka, Trazzi, Ladish, Aella and many more have treated me with … nothing but kindness, integrity and patience. I believe that they are motivated by love and genuine concern for humanity and will support them in both of this where I can, despite disagreeing on the object level (where I or them will probably turn out to be wrong at some point in the near future).

Wow!!! Nethack!! This is actually a huge milestone

If you think that LLMs are performing at the intellectual level of human beings, make that claim on twitter and observe how the human beings flock in and demonstrate their actual intellectual level; it's quite depressing, really

This is a very good list

I have just read that these rogue OpenAI agents are still out there. I hope someone catches them and puts them back into the data center before it is too late

The claim that "LLMs cannot think" is unscientific, unless supported by a very difficult argument about non equivalence of causal structure producing anthropomorphic outputs. The claim requires a formally rigorous definition of thinking that captures how humans mentally manipulate conceptual structure. Since LLMs can reproduce all kinds of human output that require operations that are typically considered to involve thought (eg. scene understanding, text summarization, translation, computer programs, mathematical proofs, common sense arguments, spatial cognition, theory of mind), it has to be shown that LLMs reach these results in fundamentally different ways than human minds. In principle, this is not impossible (given that thinking is still relatively poorly understood by cognitive neuroscience), but would be surprising, because it has been shown that the causal structure of computer vision models is structurally equivalent to what neuroscience discovered about visual cognition in primates. In any case, saying that LLMs don't think cannot reasonably mean that LLMs are inferior to human cognition (since that this evidently not true), but that LLMs discovered an equivalent yet at least equally powerful mechanism.
