I don't know. How is Astra a step change in computer use and spatial reasoning to the extent it can play games, paint good looking stuff with e.g canva and a whole number of other things ?
>How is text-based memorization going to substitute for learning? The two are not the same.
Of course if you call it something else then you can say it's not the same.
>How is the LLM intern, the "drop-in replacement remote worker" going to do on day #2?
Just fine I imagine ? ICL and the memory tools around a harness are pretty good. I'm not sure what sort of magic you're expecting from the human, but they're not getting any improvement in that time frame a frozen transformer can't match.
>Instead of pretending that an LLM can be human-level, or super-human, or become generalist, why not just admit that this is not the final form of AI.
It doesn't seem like I'm the one pretending here.
>Despite all the AGI hype, an LLM seems to have more in common with a pre-trained single-purpose system like AlphaGo than a brain, but with the rubric/reward-based policy function baked into the weights.
If you say so.
>Perhaps it'll be sooner than 10-20 years, but I doubt it given the current 10-year fixation with LLMs which doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
The architecture that keeps delivering results isn't slowing down ? You don't say.
There's no shortage of people, even researchers, who for one reason or the other are convinced we are in need of some paradigm shift.
But guess what? Talk is cheap. You beat the current paradigm or you don't.
