Intriguing prediction from Trenton Bricken & @sholto-douglas.bsky.social on @dwarkesh.bsky.social's podcast: computer use agents "solved" in ~10 months 🖱️⌨️. This feels highly optimistic. I think that computer use is closer to robotics than language modeling. 1/2

I’m presenting this work at 11a PT today in East Exhibit Hall at poster #4009. Come by and chat!

🚨 Thrilled to share that Compositional Generalization Across Distributional Shifts with Sparse Tree Operations received a spotlight award at #NeurIPS2024! 🌟 I'll present a poster on Tuesday and give an invited lightning talk at the System 2 Reasoning Workshop on Sunday. 🧵👇

Applied AGI scientist is a wild job title considering people have no idea how to even define AGI let alone what we should apply to create it.

An important distinction that Sutskever makes in this article is that scale is not dead, but “Scaling the right thing matters more now than ever.” Vector symbolic architectures are a promising direction to scale symbolic methods in a fully differentiable manner. www.reuters.com/technology/a...

Okay the people requested one so here is an attempt at a Computational Cognitive Science starter pack -- with apologies to everyone I've missed! LMK if there's anyone I should add! go.bsky.app/KDTg6pv

I’m excited to share our survey investigating the current challenges and debates around achieving compositional behavior (CB) in language models, to be presented at #EMNLP2024! What makes language understanding truly intelligent? A thread unpacking our latest research 🤖📊🧵
