* Two types of abstractions
- Type-1: prototype/value-centric, continuous — transformer is good at this
- Type-2: program-centric abstraction/graphs, discrete/search — ???
- Type-2 is data efficient but test-time inefficient due to combinatorial explosion.

* Intelligent systems needs to combine Type-1 and 2 abstractions
- Type-2 can be guided by type-1
- Need global library of abstract subroutines

* The evolution of ARC benchmarks
- ARC-1: Prior-free reasoning tasks
- ARC-2: Compositional reasoning tasks
- ARC-3: Reasoning with interactive agency

* Intelligence implementation requires two components
- Abstraction acquisition
- Abstraction recombination (application)

François Chollet, creator of Keras and the ARC suite of AGI benchmarks, gave a very thoughtful talk on how we can actually get to #AGI:

* Intelligence is a process, not skills
- Intelligence is an efficient conversion from past experience to potential operating area
- AGI is not about automation, it’s about invention

* Three characterstics of intelligence
- Fluid intelligence
- Broad operational area
- Information-efficient program acquisition and synthesis

Three common mistakes I’ve seen #FOSS people and other #introverted geeks make in #PublicSpeaking…well, as an introverted #FreeSoftware geek myself, these also things I have to keep in mind when I speak.

Slow…down. Speak at a consistent, slow speed. This ensures people don’t miss things, you get time to think, and people get time to absorb the information.

Speak loudly. There’s a limit to how much the microphone will do for you. Sometimes you won’t even have a microphone (e.g. when hosting outdoor #OpenStreetMap mapping parties) - learn to make yourself heard without one.

Don’t trail off. End your sentences with a consistent volume and pitch.

So how slow, and how loud? In a lot of cases I’d say WAY slower than what you call slow, and WAY louder than what you call loud 😅

There’s more, but this is the foundation of any talk. The best content in the world means nothing if it doesn’t actually reach your audience.

A lot of this is useful in everyday life too. Start practicing! 🙂

“Fascist AI” talk at LOOPS

The New Practice space at TU Berlin runs a series of talks called LOOPS. Together with my friend Malte I was invited to talk a bit about “Fascist AI”. How capitalism, fascism and AI narratives are very closely aligned and (re)produce one another.

I enjoyed giving the talk (I rarely do those together with others) and the Q&A and conversations afterwards immensely. You can check out a recording of the event here:
