Trump - with his devotion to Putin, abandonment of Ukraine, and lies about history- is the antithesis of everything Ronald Reagan stood for. He is aligning America with the enemies of the very freedom that generations have fought and died to defend. History will not be kind to those who are helping him, especially those who call themselves Reagan Republicans while they pretend not to see what’s happening.

If you are a student interested in building the next generation of AI systems, don't work on LLMs
The Godfather of AI is at #VivaTech! Yann LeCun (@ylecun) advises students coming into the industry: "Don't work on LLM. This is in the hands of large companies, there's nothing you can bring to the table. You should work on next-gen AI systems that lift the limitations of LLMs.

Nice article in Financial Time where I explain that Auto-Regressive LLM are insufficient to reach human-level intelligence (or even cat-level intelligence). But alternative architectures that I call "objective driven" may reach human-level intelligence one day. They use world models based on JEPA (Joint Embedding Predictive Architectures, which are not generative). With this, we may have systems that 1. understand the physical world 2. have persistent memory 3. can reason 4. can plan, perhaps hierarchically. Four essential characteristics necessary for intelligent behavior, which humans and many animals exhibit.
Yann LeCun says he is working to develop an entirely new generation of AI systems that he hopes will power machines with human-level intelligence. It could take up to 10 years to achieve, he tells the @FT in an interview on.ft.com/3KbShLF

One might think that, by now, people would realize that retrieving the solution to a common puzzle does not require any reasoning ability.
A mysterious chatbot has appeared on lmsys called "gpt2-chatbot". Many are speculating that this could be GPT-5. No one really knows, but its reasoning capabilities are absolutely stunning. We may be closer to ASI than ever before.

This video is a discussion John Warner (@SwampFox) and I had discussing The Innoventure Futures Forum, and also discussions about Omnibond's products and history. I decided to have some fun with RunwayML, MidJourney, Adobe Premier Pro (beta), to produce it, enjoy.

I agree with John Warner. A key component to future economic growth in SC and the creation of high tech / high paying jobs is our Research Universities and, I believe, an emphasis on K-12 STEM Education. #researchers #entrepreneurs #STEM @SwampFox

This is amazing to be able to test for 4 different viruses in a single, low-cost, in-home rapid test. This type of technology should be accelerated for review. The impact on early, appropriate treatment & breaking transmission could be remarkable.

I was walking through the kitchen this morning, and I heard John Warner say my name over my Alexa speaker. You might have heard it on the South Carolina Business Review. If not, here is another chance: bit.ly/3qRp4Kk via @SwampFox
