@martin_casado @GaryMarcus That’s not what Tyler said. He was just plain rude.

Gary has taken a lot of flak —seems like the ideas were not universally popular.

@tdietterich @GaryMarcus And I think that’s exactly the point Tyler was making. Which I fully agree with.

It’s not hard to take credit for popular ideas.

@tdietterich @GaryMarcus A huge crowd of us have been saying and writing about this. Some in very exact terms (eg Francois, Vishal Misra, Rohan etc etc ). Gary is pretty unique in claiming credit for high level hand waving on topic where many have done great work … but that’s just the sort of guy he…

@martin_casado Seems to me @GaryMarcus has been right about almost everything related to the limits of LLMs. We are now seeing systems with search, which is something all of us old timers have been waiting for the LLM/AGI crowd to rediscover. Maybe symbolic abstraction is next?

Hahahaha :) cooked

The statement engages in a public discourse about the contributions and recognition of ideas in the field of AI. The tone is critical and somewhat confrontational, focusing on the perceived lack of acknowledgment of prior work and the behavior of an individual.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not strive to do no harm, as it uses the term 'vile' to describe another person's thread, which is a strong and negative characterization. This could be seen as harmful and disrespectful. [-2]
  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 respect the privacy and dignity of others, as it publicly criticizes an individual in a harsh manner. This could be considered a form of cyberbullying or harassment. [-2]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not promote understanding, empathy, or compassion. Instead, it focuses on criticizing and discrediting another person's work and behavior. [-2]
  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 does not engage in constructive criticism or dialogue. It includes a personal attack by calling the thread 'vile' and implies that the individual is ignorant of the literature, which is not conducive to a respectful or productive discussion. [-2]
