“This is one of the central points in my ICML keynote, with a lot of detail — see part 2. https://t.co/Lwsr0sUZfR Note: I take RSI seriously! One of our big empirical projects is evaluating agents' ability to do open-ended AI research. But it doesn't imply m…”

Context & explanation

1 expert

Background, chronology and why it matters.

“Thanks for that summary. It aligns very well with this text, which @sgray.bsky.social posted earlier today. (It might be a little better or fuller than Arvind's own overview at the top!) I really like the argument.”

“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…
