AI twitter used to be (at its best) about intellectual argument.

Now it’s mostly just about vibes.

@GaryMarcus there are many emerging (yes principled ones). i regret to inform u that all the most promising ones are neural not symbolic.

This is literally a trillion dollar question: are *principled* solutions to longstanding challenges of factuality and distribution shift at last near at hand?

@boazbaraktcs I think the West Coasters have not fully reckoned with how much distribution shift continues to plague reliability, and still lack a robust solution to that.

They also lack a principled solution to problems of factuality.

The statement by @basedneoleo engages in a discussion about the future of AI, specifically addressing the debate between neural and symbolic approaches. This is a substantive engagement with public issues related to AI development and its implications, thus constituting public discourse.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not appear to cause harm with words or actions, as it is a factual assertion about AI approaches.
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not explicitly promote understanding, empathy, or compassion, but it contributes to the intellectual discourse on AI.
  3. 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 engages in constructive dialogue by providing a counterpoint to the previous discussion without resorting to personal attacks. [+1]
