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

Falcon: Open-source AI will quickly catch up to proprietary models
“So I think all, all roads lead to open source at the end of the day. No matter what you do or how much money you have, you cannot compete with the world's resources put together to do something. So some companies will have an edge for a bit, yes, but open sour…”

Falcon: Mathematical advances will eventually make future AI models small
“I think the math field will catch up, and we'll have some fancy regularizer that will make all this go away, and now we're back to, like, a small model. So I guess, I think that the future is small, large language models, I guess, that are specialized”

Falcon: Solving AI hallucination will take roughly five years
“So I think it's still going to be, I don't know, like five years, probably like, I don't think it's going to be like one day suddenly it's solved. I think it's going to unlock industries sequentially. So like, year one, maybe we can do this industry, and then …”

Prediction Not checkable as stated
Falcon: Probably only 1% of emerging generative AI tools will endure
“I think it's a lot of research. Like, what's gonna last from there? I'm not sure. Like, probably one percent of the things.”
