@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 @GaryMarcus addresses a public discourse on the development of AI technologies, specifically the debate between neural and symbolic approaches. The reply by @basedneoleo and the subsequent response by @GaryMarcus engage in a substantive discussion about AI methodologies, which is a significant public issue in the field of technology and its societal implications.

  1. 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 by @GaryMarcus engages in constructive criticism by clarifying his position on neurosymbolic hybrids, rather than engaging in personal attacks. This aligns with the principle of engaging in constructive dialogue. [+1]
  2. Principle 5:
    I will acknowledge and correct my mistakes.
    By clarifying his stance, @GaryMarcus acknowledges a potential misunderstanding, which aligns with the principle of acknowledging and correcting mistakes. [+1]
