david-p-reichert.bsky.social: A follow-up to my last substack about agents vs chatbots. This time I'm showing some more down-to-earth examples of agents in action, as opposed to machine learning. Anything from modelling histori…
david-p-reichert.bsky.social: The goal remains the same: convey to people who haven't been exposed to recent developments what is now becoming possible, so that we can take AI seriously and figure out what this all means for th…

Evidence, methods and technical implications.

“LLMs similarly have nonphenomenal access to information, and can reflect and use memory. This is indeed similar in principle, while the cognitive architecture is vastly less complex (yet), and likely won't catch up anytime soon. Add to this Anthropics j-spa…”

“In particular, your imaginary friend or a character in a script cannot do any of these things: davidpreichert.substack.com/p/if-you-hav... davidpreichert.substack.com/p/ai-and-a-c... Does that necessarily mean AI agents can think, or reason, or are consciou…”

david-p-reichert.bsky.social: Many don't see how much AI has changed recently. Coding agents aren't just chatbots. We can’t deal with the challenges of AI if we don’t understand it. Here's a post to provide some evidence (Claud…
david-p-reichert.bsky.social: This should be useful to technical people / researchers who haven’t recently used coding agents, but hopefully some insights for others interested in AI, too. Some key points below: ...
david-p-reichert.bsky.social: 1. There’s a huge gulf between a chatbot putting text into your brain and an agent using code to interface with its environment. 2. Code isn't “just text” or even maths. Code is a tool to observe a…
