Very interesting article by @melaniemitchell.bsky.social one of the most thoughtful critics of LLMs. Hallucination is built into LLMs. One urgent implication to me is that we should not use autonomous LLM based agents in any reasonably important scenario today, despite all the hype around them.

New paper releases from the Thousand Brains Project!!

Now that Sam Altman has coined the term “gentle singularity”, what other mathematical concepts should have nonsensical adjectives applied to them? I’ll go first: “spicy infinities”

Fantastic to see this thought provoking article by @kathrynhulick.substack.com in Science News on how neuroscience could help AI. It's amazing how much hardware has shaped AI. What could we do if we allowed ourselves the intellectual freedom to break away from hardware constraints?

now that DeepSeek has completed AI, we hope that Silicon Valley will turn its attention to the next best thing: investing in rural history museums

The video of the Thousand Brains Launch is now live! We had hundreds of folks attend live and >100 great questions. Watch Jeff Hawkins’ overview of how sensorimotor learning will unlock AI & robotics, plus deep dive into talks, roadmap, and community contributions. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqFZ...

Join us on December 4th at 9AM PST for an exclusive presentation by Jeff Hawkins + Thousand Brains Project team! Agenda ➤ Overview of our open-source initiative to build a new type of sensorimotor AI 🧠 ➤ How to get involved 🤝 ➤ Live Q&A💡 📍 RSVP & details here: www.meetup.com/thousand-bra...

Really enjoying the Podcast Complexity, from SFI. Particularly the Nature of Intelligence season by @melaniemitchell.bsky.social. The last 2 episodes on Babies v Machines & the intelligence (sic) of LLMs have been spot on. Balanced but diving into the key issues. www.santafe.edu/culture/podc...

Check out Jeff Hawkins' recent article in @fastcompany.com Jeff responds to absurd claims by Sam Altman and other AI advocates, and discusses how a neuroscience-based sensorimotor approach could pave the way for the future of AI. @numentaofficial.bsky.social www.fastcompany.com/91228937/for...

An op-ed I wrote for Fortune on the importance of Neuroscience for AI is below. Hope it's of interest! #neuroscience #AI fortune.com/2023/08/15/t...

I had the pleasure of hosting Ramy Mounir at Numenta to discuss his work on how networks can learn robust representations in an online, streaming task-setting, demonstrating impressive results inspired by neuroscience and psychology. Video of his talk below: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jZt...
