Has the hallucination problem in AI been solved?
My understanding that all AI can, and will hallucinate. I get downvoted for saying this, but no one ever says I'm wrong or cites any source. Perhaps it's more nuanced than that? Please, enlighten me.

Does anyone else feel like AI could be a crypto killer?
AI dramatically lowers the cost of building software and infrastructure. Users and small teams can increasingly create their own tools instead of relying on a tokenized network or protocol. Open-source models and AI agents make customized, distributed systems much easier to build and maintain. This weakens the value of crypto projects whose main advantage was providing decentralized infrastructure that was previously difficult to create. Curious if anyone has a different thesis &#...

Brain Computations and Principles; and AI (Edmund T. Rolls)
This is a new free book that you can download from the page. It is an update and expansion of 'Brain Computations and Connectivity' (2023). I recomend it to those interested in how the brain processes information without so much biological detail. There doesn't appear to be other books like these. Unfortunately it doesn't explore the role of dendritic computations in brain circuits. In my opinion the brain is very different from the feedforward networks being scaled today and have reached dimi...

The perfect way for Google to screw over OAI and Anthropic is by releasing a 120B dense multimodal Gemma model
The two leading labs are already feeling extremely threatened by Qwen & friends, however I think there are tons of enterprises and organizations in the West that don't feel comfortable using Chinese models. I believe these orgs would be all over a near-frontier open-weight model with the Google brand, and it's the perfect way to mess up OAI/Anthropics IPOs. Please do it, Google.

The Second Cognitive Revolution - an opinion piece
We have taught machines our greatest trick: language. Like a jet engine spun up by a starter motor, biology got human intelligence to a point of self-sustainment. Now, we have done the same for AI. https://medium.com/@space.sapper/the-second-cognitive-revolution-06fe5b02f3b0 Would love to hear all your thoughts!

I don’t think we’re psychologically prepared for how alien the world after ASI is going to be
gonna start by saying I’m feeling very iffy about ASI because I kinda enjoy my life rn, but that aside: after going down the AI 2040 rabbithole, I keep thinking that even people who talk about ASI constantly are still imagining the future in a way that is way too normal. We talk about AI replacing people’s jobs, humanoid robots, self-driving cars, universal basic income, whatever the fuck. I think that might be the equivalent of someone in 1955 predicting the year 2000, trying to use our cur...

There is a decent indication that Astra/gpt-next is going to release next month.
I don't trust people's claims about the release date, so I was wondering if I could figure out the release date based on when partners get access to the model ahead of the release. Normally it happens 2-4 weeks ahead of time (5.6 being an special case), but because everyone has signed NDA, they can't tell they have access to it. So what I did, is instead of looking for people saying they have access to it, is to look for people who look like they have the model and can't talk about it, by look...

dots3-note Preview: A Small but Mighty Step Toward Long-Horizon Agency in Real Life
https://x.com/dotsstudioai/status/2088083314855018521 Tech Blog: https://studio.dots.ai/dots/dots3-en.html The tech blog has many interesting videos and this AI company belongs to a kinda big company in China. I am reposting because the previous post was removed by reddit automatic filter. I think the post contained the name of a competitor's product and they do not allow that or something.

33 years ago, Vernor Vinge (1944-2024) coined the term "Singularity" in reference to the point at which technological progress, driven by superhumanly intelligent machines, would be so great as to render our current models would be good as discarded. He predicted this event to occur ~30 years on.
His prescience is truly incredible. Living in the stone age of the machines, he still predicted the current transpiring events, where such superhumanly intelligent machines are bound to exist within only a few years of his predicted date of 2023, while already demonstrating some greater than human capabilities. The lower bound of his prediction for date at which this event would occur was 2005, and the upper bound 2030. But I think that his firm assertion at the beginning of this event occurin...
