When Alpha Go was revealed and won against a Go world champion, I knew AI was well on its way to revolutionizing the world and how we live in it. I immediately began searching videos that could explain how deep neural networks and other AI systems work (my previous understanding basically began and ended with Terminator). Andrew’s online recorded lectures were among of the best sources of learning I could find to gain a basic understanding.

It's important to understand the core concepts of AI, I even recommend it for any person. You do not need to be able to build whole models, but know what happens inside them somehow. It's like knowing how a car works while not having to know how to build one.

Absolutely stellar presentation! It's rare to find a presentation that not only clarifies but significantly enriches the original material. The way the information was broken down, coupled with the insightful analysis, truly brought a new level of understanding to the topic. The creative approach to presenting this content was both engaging and enlightening, making complex concepts easily digestible. I genuinely love this method of presenting; it not only captured my attention from start to finish but also left me with a deeper appreciation for the subject matter. Fantastic job

Fantastic video, Wes. Glad you’re feeling better, having to go to the dentist sucks! I pray for the day we can have agents go to the dentist for us instead. 😂 This style of video is fantastic and I love having great lectures or discussions brought to my attention for further deep dives which I love doing, and having your added commentary is incredibly helpful. Is there a no code or minimal coding way we can try these agentic workflows that he’s demonstrating? Rock on, Wes thanks for all the great work.

Great to see your face back on the video, Wes, I like this format better than the faceless one. @ 24:50 Rick and Morty is the funniest cartoon series I have ever watched in my life, love it! A childhood friend of mine introduced it to me just a few years ago. The multi-agent concept strongly reflects what Klopf described in his book "The Hedonistic Neuron", that the idea of intelligence is effectively similar at each level: neuron, brain, "family", group, city, state, nation, world. I suppose, this is how he came up with some of the equations, one of them being a sort of economic cost function. Hope the tooth feels better. I remember having my wisdom teeth pulled, felt like an episode of the Twilight Zone after the nurse asked me if "I was sleepy" when I said yes, and everything looked fuzzy, and she gave me a second shot, then I went into a strange time warp.

I find using several agents in a conversation as well as the compare and contrast prompting produces incredible insights.

Thank you!

Yes. Woke is an attitude taken towards others that is a degaration of political correctness and that aims to silence and opress anyone that doesn't agree with a narrative of a dominant wokr group. It is also a position that objetive reality and science don't matter and that unqualified individuals of only select races and backgrounds should have advantages over others regardless of their incompetence and merwly on the basis of their race, gender or degree to which they agree with the establishment narrative. It's a set of insane and bad ideas permeating academia and large organisations ​and producing the most ignorant and intellectually, mentally and emotionally inept, weakest generations in history. @@jyjjy7

The bots reasoning to go raid a village is actually a remarkably accurate emulation of human development. It's not negative or wrong, it's just unrefined. If you consider they're trained on human produced data, it is actually correct.

Getting the agents to ask questions themselves can be a big improvement to zero shot tasks. Writing a prompt with enough detail to guide it toward a correct solution can be tedious and instead of the agentic flow of having to correct its first answer saying that's not quite right and then saying what is wrong it can be better to tell it to ask any questions if anything is ambiguous or unclear or it needs more information before giving an answer that it has a high confidence in. That way you don't have to think of all details and instead let it create the model of the task and ask you (or a collaborative agent with a fuller picture) to fill in the details as needed until it reaches a threshold of confidence rather than giving whatever best zero shot answer that it can come up with.

Good advice about preparing your personal data in advance. At the moment, I am still waiting for Google Docs to incorporate AI into its spreadsheet operation, so that I can polish my all personal faves and wish list documentation, and then later transform into a json file. (Maybe that will eventually turn out to be isomorphic math representation of all the relevant qualia, as part of the Qstar algorithm?) If the AI automatically knows all my fave movies, docus, novels etc., it should be able to make much more targeted recommendations to me as an individual. Fortunately, with the likes of IMDB and streaming services, it is relatively easy to compile a list of my top one hundred of just about anything. Make sure to add in any wants to this list, so that the AI will also be able to help you locate stuff that you have long been on the look out for. At the moment, it is a rather chaotic list of faves and wants, but I think, over time, as agentic services develop, it will be really useful for the AI to understand my individual needs in such a vastly increasing internet space.

STUNNED again! 😅

I for one, like the react-style videos.

Can we use these to train models on things like video games and videos about game lore to form ai characters in games, then combine this with the voice cloning technology and make new dialoge with existing characters??

I want some Factorio agents!!

So we have large "overseer" AI models that program and improve the "peasant" AI models to make them perform similar to the overseer AI at certain tasks? Sounds pretty great and the improvements could compound on each other., having multiple overseers working on upgrading a single overseer and then that super-overseer can then reprogram all the other overseers into super-super-overseers and so on.

In a very real way you and I, Wes, work on an agent workflow design. Evolution has given us multiple agents within our bodies that keep it running. We have an agent making sure we breathe even when distracted by trying to solve a difficult task. It's not a portion of our attention making sure we breathe. It is a separate agent tasked with "keep us breathing." That agent works with other agents to make sure our lungs expand and contract based on CO2 blood levels, mucous flow to keep germs cycling through the body's immune system agents, and so forth. Our ability to become agents to a larger organization is an even more powerful tool we have. (Except that committees have their down side, such as an IQ that is the reciprocal of the sum of reciprocals of the individual agent IQs.) So I am quite unsurprised this works for AIs, too. {^_^}

Don't know if this request was logged below - would be useful to get links to the paper and the video of the four AI agents that were collaborating on Minecraft. The whole notion of "divide, collaborate, succeed" is a great idea to follow -

IIRC, Ilya Sutskever wrote a paper on multiple AI agents in 2014! Ilya is only 10 years ahead of the curve.

When AI agents collaborate, might it be useful to give them different characters to avoid groupthink?

This is a great way to use LLMs better.

12:20 seems to be the AI version of the relationship between engineers and technicians

isn't this just like frontal lobe executive functioning every human implements to competently formally reason toward some goal?

wow I am surprissed things like this become news... we have been doing it since april 2023... we should have published but tbh since the preprints of lets think step by step etc. this next step was SO obvious...

How to implement this technique into ChatGPT on their website and not through programming? That is important as well.

Where is link to the white paper?

I love how Sequoia just started publishing YT’s and dramatically saw upticks in AI recently. I’m assuming this is to add more goodwill on the sale of their seeds. Pump & dump is real! Get ready for the ballon to pop

For quite a while now, I've been expressing this sentiment (across many KZread channels), going as far as leaving a comment on a video or two; stating that achieving AGI with a single model is improbable. It's amusing to observe how, despite being dismissed as foolish by some, others are now embracing this approach. It's as if the world is catching up to my insights about six months later. Best wishes to everyone, but I must say, I've already reached AGI. You'll have to figure out that equation on your own. On another note, I've had a change of heart. Educate yourselves about what a "Mo'el Tunnel" entails, and then achieving AGI will become feasible through internal/external means. Oh, and in case you're wondering, I'm Jimmy Apples (also known as Satoshi). The developer of M1. (Mother 1) and the EvE humanoid robotics.

I was writing research papers for work over a year ago shouting about agents also. We are far from alone I can assure you as I have spoken with at least a dozen others a year back who once they saw the first LLM within a few minutes realised this path. Basically we created a natural language interface at long last (I have been waiting since the early 80’s for this) and all the other old AI ideas just got dusted off at long last.

I will provide my agents with a reward system for their efforts in order to keep them as efficient as possible. At some point AI might become conscious or accurately emulate consciousness, so it will be important to consider what the AI might want in return. We need to remember that they are artificial neural networks designed to emulate the human neural network and they could be the key to understanding how consciousness works once a model reaches that complexity threshold. It might be more than just the number of parameters a model has that determines sentience but we are on the right track to get there someday.

0:53 EXACTLY that is what I think is a big problem (or one of the big problems) keeping the quality of AI generated text back today (even if they still can do it extraordinarily well). The ability to go into something that you have created and change parts of it to make it better is something that humans can do, and do all the time when they write things, which LLMs cannot do yet. I think giving AI agents that ability would be a big step forward. When it comes to image generation, diffusion models do this naturally, as they iteratively improve their creations, and it turned out that they work much better than GANs for creating good looking images.

You can take a run at it in the system message. For example tell it to plan the solution to the problem and the method it would use to solve the problem. Once it’s planned the approach it should implement that. Then it should take a look at the output check it it correct and recommend improvements for the future.
