The Ledger

Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.

clear all ✕

why aren't all 5 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable

Assertion Supported
DeepMind's reinforcement learning fails on minor visual changes while Vicarious succeeds
“So if you use, ah, if you compare, ah, Vicarious, ah, system with, ah, DeepMind system, ah, for example, if you change the brightness of the screen DeepMind system will stop playing, ah, because it will, ah, get confused, ah, and if you offset the paddle we ou…”

Prediction Not checkable as stated
Embedding assumptions about object interactions enables AI models to generalize better
“Our, what we are doing differently compared to what was attempted previously was that we are putting more assumptions into our model in the sense of that there are objects in the world. There are interactions between objects, et cetera. Those assumptions are f…”

Assertion Supported
Vicarious AI broke text-based CAPTCHAs with a generative visual perception model
“So this is something that we published in science in like, you know, last year, almost a year back. It's a generative model for visual perception, so it's generative, so it can imagine things trains with very little data and you know, it can do inference in th…”

Assertion Not checkable as stated
Vicarious AI sped up its algorithms 500x for real-time robot operation
“In the last year we sped up the algorithms by about 500 times, and now they are able to run real time on the robots and there is still optimizations to be done.”
