27:40 "...When people use terms like Political Correctness, when really what they're talking about is politeness" - Unfortunately in the modern era, "Political Correctness" when applied as a political and social "Weapon" to silence and disparage those who don't align with novel progressive narratives, isn't intended to be "Polite".

Watch it all and watch it again for a most insightful, thought provoking and refreshing orientation (or reorientation) exercise for your own year ahead. The challenges are much too large, complex and uncertain for either individual or collective action. The only way forward, it seems to me, is to develop alternative pathways and to find fellow travellers to walk as far as we can together. Peace!

Sir Penrose: The term "artificial intelligence" is misleading. This is not artificial intelligence. Agree. This term is a marketing concept. That's right, "artificial quasi intelligence". Our friend or enemy - "QUASI"?

y'all did not just flub the literal title card @ 1:10 lmao

I don't even understand how levers work.

Perhaps it is the political and social component of being a frequent guest at these events, but they don't really seem to bring out the best ideas. Almost everything here leaves a lot to be desired. Conversation starters more than anything we can really learn from.

@22min the grievance in the NE was against the Blairites repeatedly chanting a Thatcherite message of compulsory competitive tendering within the public sector undermining the major employer ...

Get Zizek and Lisa Randall together please!!!

Large language models pose language generation as an optimization problem, predicting the next word given the preceding words with unprecedented accuracy. It turns out that this process alone captures a great deal of the knowledge and syntax and semantics that underly human language. But it is only one facet of human experience, and is being modeled (as far as I'm aware) without regard to the individuals generating the texts upon which the models are trained. Perhaps the next step is to model the next word uttered by various individuals. With enough changes of modeling paradigm, eventually (it seems likely) the machine learning or "AI" process will arrive at something convincingly human-like or superhuman in intelligence. By that point, the models will be as rich of things as humans are; as complex and interesting.

predicting the next token requires having a world model, a model of human cognition and the ability to dynamically model a multitude of agents to begin with. gpt can roleplay.

But when I tell it to write a poem in the style of Walt Whitman or whoever, it comes out like an average of Walt Whitman's poetry, whereas a human doing the same thing would generate a poem in some space near-ish to Walt Whitman, but inescapably influenced by the human's own identity. Maybe this could be overcome with a different sampling strategy or better prompt, but so far I've been unsuccessful - though the poems were nonetheless novel and interesting in GPT's own way. This was something I worked on recently using a local GPT2 instance @@r_se

Please correct the spelling of "Institute" at 1:11.

Imagine the hubris despite such provable lack of interest in finding out about or searching for candidates for the biggest ideas of 2023 of these people to think they could have any authority or good judgement on the matter of what the biggest ideas of especially the year 2023 of all years were. For what it's worth, I know for certain that their takes on this matter are wrong, far off.

I don't think Roser Penrose deserve Nobel prize. for me his most of ideas seems to be not true.
