The newest blog post is out! This time, it’s about beauty.
I was sitting with a group of businesspeople who didn’t understand why any sort of beauty would serve any kind of purpose in the world, or how it potentially could. These people think that if there isn’t a direct line from the work you do to money, the work must be worthless. So I wrote this polemic on the importance of beauty.

This is why the "LLM's are AGI" argument is stupid. Text books can "recite" facts. They (books) are knowledgeable in one particular area...but nobody would ever say they are intelligent. Complex as though they are, they are still rote, and have no basic evaluation or judgment.
New: Hackers have been stealing high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI support chatbot to change the email associated with the account they want to steal.
Shockingly easy, terrible flaw associated with offloading support to AI:

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

It’s upsetting to watch so many people be led to believe a software feature created from human exhaust is an alien intelligence.
It’s a psyop. LLMs are a clever way to compress and search large databases with patterns. They have now inhaled effectively all of human knowledge. From this point, there will be spikes of improvement in narrow areas, but the big models are already collapsing from inhaling their own exhaust.
The core technology is at least 40 years old. Neural networks are nothing new. We’re just attaching obscene amounts of computing and data to them.
The physical nature of an LLM is literally just a database of tokens (word parts) and weights (relationships) that can be queried. It is not magic. It can be made deterministic by setting the entropy aka temperature to zero. It is a clever way to store an immense amount of data and retrieve it through token predicting.
“Agents” are just LLMs being queried in a loop. They take exponentially more energy and suffer the same problems as chatbots—hallucinations and sycophancy—but exponentially more complicated to solve.
In reality, it’s all a category error. It’s a mirage created by the desire of a small group of elites to build a technological and financial moat around themselves. “AGI” is the McGuffin, the plot device, to serve as the messiah that will deliver people from the toils of everyday life.
The broligarchs are trying to sell us our own replacements. According to them, we won’t have to drive, or work, or think anymore. The robots and AI will all do it for us.
It’s the oldest con there is: magic beans.
Your chatbot is not your Jesus or your girlfriend. Your Claude instance is not intelligent. It’s a search engine for human knowledge stolen from the internet and the destruction of physical books.
So please understand. You are witnessing the biggest financial bubble in all of human history based on deceptive marketing, astroturfing, and cult dynamics. You are not witnessing the birth of a new intelligence. Unfortunately, that’s a battle we’re losing.

Zuckerbot benefits from this.
I'm not gonna lie, the @Meta layoffs are some of the most dystopian I've ever seen. They got told to work from home, they were sent the emails at 4AM in the morning. Those who weren't impacted have software on their computer that tracks their every move, preparing AI to take their job as well. They're literally training the AI that will eliminate their position as well.
Meanwhile, Meta is raking in RECORD PROFITS.
I am a massive, unapologetic AI enthusiast. Yet, this is NOT the future I had in mind.
I wish for Meta to crash and burn. This is not the way. Literally nobody benefits from this.

That’s the same guy who told people that they will just have to change their name and identity when their internet footprint has become too large…
People like that should be selling pens out of a paper cup.

nobody is going to hire an AI user to direct or write stories because you're not a director or a writer. this is what a job is. you get hired for what you actually do and soon enough they'll realize "AI guys" don't do all that much.

We have not lost the ability to build beautifully; we have lost the will to build beautifully. Thank the propaganda machine of the Modernists who celebrate the ugly and the unlovable.

You not only ruined it with your AI slop, you also falsified the historical record.
And look at how disgustingly prude the result is on top of it all. Generative AI truly is the catalyst of idiocy.

Minoan fresco from the Palace of Knossos, Crete. ~1600 BC. 🌸
One of the oldest wall paintings in European.
I restored it completely, then brought her to life with AI.

It is now more important than ever that you don't.

This is just like being alive in the 1600s when they got good at making complicated clocks and deduced that every complicated thing in the universe probably functioned exactly like a clock

There's a quadrillion-dollar question at the heart of AI: Why are humans so much more sample efficient compared to LLM? There are three possible answers:
1. Architecture and hyperparameters (aka transformer vs whatever ‘algo’ cortical columns are implementing)
2. Learning rule (backprop vs whatever brain is doing)
3. Reward function
@AdamMarblestone believes the answer is the reward function.
ML likes to use pretty simple loss functions, like cross-entropy. These are easy to work with.
But they might be too simple for sample-efficient learning.
Adam thinks that, in humans, the large number of highly specialised cells in the ‘lizard brain’ might actually be encoding information for sophisticated loss functions, used for ‘training’ in the more sophisticated areas like the cortex and amygdala.
Like: the human genome is barely 3 gigabytes (compare that to the TBs of parameters that encode frontier LLM weights). So how can it include all the information necessary to build highly intelligent learners? Well, if the key to sample-efficient learning resides in the loss function, even very complicated loss functions can still be expressed in a couple hundred lines of Python code.

This would serve no purpose and solve no problem. As a matter of fact, it would introduce a few usability problems – so they’ll probably do it, seeing as how incompetent they have become.

The rumoured 20th-gen iPhone is said to be a curved, pebble like slab of glass, featuring an ever so slight curvature around the display that hides the bezels completely.
Liquid Glass UI elements would make way more sense on that kind of hardware.
It’s gonna be so beautiful.
