And Harley Davidson.
They go hard on branding. They're one of the few motorcycle brands that let you go for a test ride (others might have a special event day at a dealership where you can ride around the parking lot). If you go for it, expect to be suited up in all the Harley leathers by the sales guy. It's not a motorcycle, it's a branded lifestyle where you ride around sometimes.
If you have to tell people you're not Enron, you're probably Enron.
It is that kind of party!
Then what is AI? Or do you think there's no intermediate steps between Turning Machine and full intelligence?
We should all aspire to be the Oceans 11 heist of having a library card.
It was developed by academics in the first place. It's AI because it was developed by AI researchers.
That's how it works. You build knowledge by making these little pieces. LLMs are one of those pieces. It won't get to full human intelligence on its own, but it might be part of what gets there.
Would you consider Conway's Game of Life to be AI? Because the field certainly did back in the day, and it's less impressive than LLMs.
Not how it works.
The field of AI has been about making computers do things they couldn't before. Even if they're just "predicting the next token", LLMs are a significant leap over Markov Chains (which also predict the next token, but produce output that's more funny than useful).
Again, if you're unaware of the history of MIT CSAIL, then you really shouldn't be opining on what is and isn't AI.
LLMs are AI. No, they're not going to get to "AGI", but this idea that they aren't connected doesn't match how the field has evolved.
If you're unaware of how the MIT model railroading club is one of the most important groups in the history of AI, then do some reading.
The distinction with a difference is that anyone can flatter Trump's ego the exact same way. Mamdani seems to have done it. There's nothing particular about Russia that makes it work.
Whichever company owns Chrysler has been flailing around from one financial disaster to another for my whole life, and I ain't that young anymore.
