Aaron<p>I get really sick of hearing about OpenAI and the rest of the LLM crowd making absurd claims about LLMs like ChatGPT being AGI. LLMs are not even close to AGI. If you want to see real research into AGI, watch this video on Chris Eliasmith's Spaun (semantic pointer architecture unified network). It may not look as snazzy and consumer-ready as all these hallucinating LLMs being marketed to us, but this is the real deal: A single system that can do lots of different things the brain does and that LLMs can never do.</p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/I5h-xjddzlY?si=a-dS3yUPtioypa7P" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtu.be/I5h-xjddzlY?si=a-dS3y</span><span class="invisible">UPtioypa7P</span></a></p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Spaun" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Spaun</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ArtificialGeneralIntelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtificialGeneralIntelligence</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/AGI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AGI</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ML" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ML</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/SemanticPointerArchitecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SemanticPointerArchitecture</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/SPA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SPA</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Nengo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Nengo</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Hypervectors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hypervectors</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/VectorSymbolicArchitecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VectorSymbolicArchitecture</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/VSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>VSA</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/HyperdimensionalComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HyperdimensionalComputing</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/HDC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HDC</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/HolographicReducedRepresentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HolographicReducedRepresentation</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/HRR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HRR</span></a><br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/OpenAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenAI</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/ChatGPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChatGPT</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LLM</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LLMs</span></a></p>

Ross GaylerAnyone who is interested in artificial intelligence and wants to find out about current trends in hyperdimensional computing and neuromorphic hardware (they will be important - trust me on this) should participate in the "Hyperdimensional tech-evening" on 7 December (details below). This is a hybrid event, so you can attend online or in person in the Melbourne CBD.
