GPT-3o has done very well on the ARC-AGI-PUB benchmark. Sam Altman has also claimed OpenAI is confident that it can build Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). But that may be based on confusions around 'learning'. On the difference between narrow, general and (introducing) 'wide' AI.| R&A IT Strategy & Architecture
Google has announced 'Willow', a quantum computer that can calculate so fast it would take a supercomputer 10 septillion (a 10 with 25 zeros) years to do the same. But while the science is real and cool, the message is misleading. An explainer for non-physicists.| R&A IT Strategy & Architecture
It turns out that AI has created a whole new language. Humans do not speak it, and they may even mistake it for talk about sex. But luckily Generative AI is able to translate it to something humans…| R&A IT Strategy & Architecture
One of the use cases I thought was reasonable to expect from ChatGPT and Friends (LLMs) was summarising. It turns out I was wrong. What ChatGPT isn’t summarising at all, it only looks like it…| R&A IT Strategy & Architecture
Microsoft researchers published a very informative paper on their pretty smart way to let GenAI do ‘bad’ things (i.e. ‘jailbreaking’). They actually set two aspects of the f…| R&A IT Strategy & Architecture
If we ask GPT to get us “that poem that compares the loved one to a summer’s day” we want it to produce the actual Shakespeare Sonnet 18, not some confabulation. And it does. It h…| R&A IT Strategy & Architecture
I came across a 2 minute video where Ilya Sutskever — OpenAI’s chief scientist — explains why he thinks current ‘token-prediction’ large language models will be able to become sup…| R&A IT Strategy & Architecture
Google’s Gemini has arrived. Google has produced videos, a blog, a technical background paper, and more. According to Google: “Gemini surpasses state-of-the-art performance on a range of benc…| R&A IT Strategy & Architecture
Should we be hopeful or scared about imminent machines that are as intelligent or more than humans? Surprisingly, this debate is even older than computers, and from the mathematician Ada Lovelace c…| R&A IT Strategy & Architecture
After watching my talk that explains GPT in a non-technical way, someone asked GPT to write critically about its own lack of understanding. The result is illustrative, and useful. “Seeing is …| R&A IT Strategy & Architecture
