@GaryMarcus @mmbronstein @tegmark @ylecun @geoffreyhinton @sama It's bizarre to me. There are so many things that AI, even transformers are currently grappling with (like attention or memory for example), where things could be learnt from cognitive modelling, or neuroscience. I don't understand it.

@MoonlitMonkey69 @mmbronstein @tegmark @ylecun @geoffreyhinton @sama the field’s repeated disrespect for expertise in human cognition is embarrassing. history won’t look kindly on the intellectual arrogance of the last decade.

@tegmark @ylecun @GaryMarcus @geoffreyhinton @sama only a subset of these are actually people who do AI research, others are businessmen whose opinion is shaped by financial interest

Top AI leaders strongly disagree on when AI will overtake human Intelligence. 2 or 100 years – what do *you* think? @ylecun @GaryMarcus @geoffreyhinton @sama https://www.improvethenews.org/c…

The statement is part of a conversation thread discussing the field of AI and its relationship with human cognition and expertise. The tone appears to be critical of the current state of AI research and the perceived arrogance within the field. The intent seems to be to express a viewpoint on the dynamics of the AI community and the factors influencing its direction. The content touches upon the influence of egos and rationality in the field of AI.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not appear to intend harm, but the mention of 'egos of certain important people' could be seen as slightly negative.
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement does not violate privacy or dignity, nor does it engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech. [+1]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not actively promote understanding, empathy, or compassion, but it does not detract from these values either.
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement could be seen as a form of constructive criticism of the AI field, although it does border on a personal attack by attributing issues to egos. [-1]
  5. Principle 6:
    I will use my influence for the betterment of society.
    The statement aims to use influence to critique and potentially improve the discourse in the AI community, but it may not be doing so in the most constructive manner.
