We make machines to read text and do things - any sort of English text. The machine doesn't have a four pieces limit like us, so it can handle complex problems.

Gary Marcus (Computer Science Professor at NYU and LLM-basher in chief) has suggested that President Xi be given advice to cut the ground out from under the current American AI boom by doing it cheaper and better (à laDeepSeek). This contradicts Napoleon’s advice: “If your…

William Davies, in The Guardian (2/10/2025), has an excellent essay titled "A critique of pure stupidity", but ends it with "Nothing – markets, bots or machines – can rescue us, except our imagination". We have a limit on our imagination - the Four Pieces Limit…

Gary Marcus wrote a review of AI Armageddon? in the Times Literary Supplement. My comment on his review: “We currently have no solution to the “alignment problem” of making sure that machines behave in human- compatible ways.” We can’t say that humans behave in “human-compatible”…
Working with the Handler Some thoughts on how much the machine will need to understand of the mental state of its handler, and other people in decision-making roles. It ends up having to know a great deal about the mental states of humans, which brings us to Domestic Violence…
Telling Lies Example 1: Robodebt, Australia A previous Federal Government decided that people on the dole were freeloading, and $1.7 billion could be reclaimed from them. The legislation was quite clear that “income averaging” could only apply each fortnight, whereas to reclaim…
An Article in the NYTimes by Gary Marcus “Scaling hasn’t gotten us to AGI, or ‘superintelligence”, let alone AI we could trust. The field is overdue for a rethink” Gary pushes hard for the adoption of Neurosymbolics. AI doesn’t need a rethink, it needs a think. First rule – don’t…
"and by our reckoning, we are at 211.9 degrees — just a hair’s breadth from an irreversible technological phase change in which intelligence filters into everything" - Thomas Friedman in the NYT. Mr Friedman appears to equate LLMs with AI - before we get more sweeping statements,…
Making English the language of AI - it is certainly going to be the language of AGI. How are you going to tell the machine about complicated things, for which you want answers, without a complicated language? semanticstructure.blogspot.com/2025/08/orion-…
Made a comment on an article in the NYT - How Trump Is Undoing 80 Years of American Greatness. It mentions the Manhattan Project, and how the ideas for it came from “migrants”. “You are competing with Free Enterprise. Free Enterprise likes to make money out of suckers - no lofty…
Metaphorically Speaking AI has had a sorry record of coming up with something stupid, and calling it "intelligent". Artificial Neural Networks is probbaly the best example. Instead, let's try to grab some of the intelligence in metaphor and figurative speech (if the AI you are…
