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.
why aren't all 8 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 1 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
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…”
AI practitioners are shifting toward models inspired by neuroscience and cognitive science
“The mood is starting to shift in the field especially the practitioners that are close to the problem. They understand that, okay, the current wave of excitement has its limitations, and we need to look more deeply at the problems and import insights from neur…”
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…”
Deep neural networks are easily fooled by abstract adversarial visual patterns
“In fact even our sophisticated deep neural networks can be fooled very easily by showing creating these weird-looking patterns, and those patterns will get interpreted with very high confidence as, you know, things like starfish, freight car, remote control et…”
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…”
Deep learning systems outperform humans at classifying QR codes
“If I show you QR codes and ask you to classify QR codes, humans will completely fail, whereas deep learning systems will succeed.”
