Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute: AI Rethought: RPI Researchers Propose a More Effective, Human-Like Approach. “As AI models grow ever larger, so do their costs and limitations. Researchers at RPI and City University of Hong Kong offer a potential solution: instead of expanding outward with more layers and data, they propose building upward — adding internal structure that mirrors a 3D […]

The Ohio State University: Why AI can’t understand a flower the way humans do. “Even with all its training and computer power, an artificial intelligence (AI) tool like ChatGPT can’t represent the concept of a flower the way a human does, according to a new study. That’s because the large language models (LLMs) that power AI assistants are based usually on language alone, and sometimes […]

Tulane University: New Tulane study finds generative AI can boost employee creativity—but only for strategic thinkers. “The employees who benefited most weren’t just using ChatGPT passively. They were actively thinking about how to approach their work, what problems they were trying to solve, and how best to use AI to support their goals. In short, they were skilled at managing their own […]

Gary Marcus: A knockout blow for LLMs?. “There’s actually an interesting weakness in the new argument—which I will get to below—but the overall force of the argument is undeniably powerful. So much so that LLM advocates are already partly conceding the blow while hinting at, or at least hoping for, happier futures ahead.”

I realized that stand up comedy is like preaching, but without the religious shirt.

Why do people find so important to be listened by other people?

If asked directly this I would answer, "Not for me. I don't care that much about other people's opinions."

And then I heard an insidious little voice in my head saying, *But you're saying/writing that here, aren't you bitch?*

The Creativity Hack No One Told You About: Read the Obits via The MIT Press Reader [Shared]

I’ve been reading the obituaries for as long as I can remember. At first glance, they might seem like little more than a collection of dates and accomplishments. But for me, they’ve become a wellspring of creativity — each one a glimpse into a life I never would’ve imagined. And as decades of creativity research suggest, the most original ideas often come from the most unlikely sources.

“They are not emotionally intelligent or smart in any meaningful or recognizably human sense of the word. LLMs are impressive probability gadgets that have been fed nearly the entire internet, and produce writing not by thinking but by making statistically informed guesses about which lexical item is likely to follow another.”
