Action Perception Divergence: A Potential AGI Contributor

One of the two “world model” methods that we’re considering for AGI is APD (Action Perception Divergence), an evolution of active inference, introduced by Hafner et al. in 2022. This blogpost accompanies the fourth vid in the AGI YouTube series. Previously in This Series … This blogpost is fourth in a series, as is the… Continue reading Action Perception Divergence: A Potential AGI Contributor

Comparing Three Leading AGI Contenders (Part 1 of Many)

The primary focus of this blogpost and the corresponding YouTube is on LeCun’s architecture, centered on the (Hierarchical) Joint Embedding Predictive Architecture (JEPA, or H-JEPA). This will be foundational to a contrast-and-compare with Action Percept Divergence (APD) (Hafner et al., 2022), which we’ll evolve over this Summer, 2024 YouTube/blogpost series. This blogpost accompanies a YouTube… Continue reading Comparing Three Leading AGI Contenders (Part 1 of Many)

AGI 101- Week 1: Knowledge Representation in AGIs

There are three fundamentally different forms of AI:  Most of the attention now is on transformer-based methods, which are a particular form of generative AI. Generative AI comes in several forms, of which transformers are the most recent. 

AIs Acting Out: Crazy and Malicious

Our primary focus – not just for these next few months, but likely for the next few years – will be artificial general intelligence. That said, it’s useful to assess the landscape – because evidence suggests a real sea change in how people are viewing AI. We’ll highlight some of the recent works identifying weaknesses… Continue reading AIs Acting Out: Crazy and Malicious

AGI Basics: Five Key Reads

We’re building our AGI discussion around a few core papers. The ones identified here are either central to our discussion – and will be featured across multiple YouTubes and blogposts (and also front-row in our AGI 101 Themesis course), or are hugely and supremely supportive of our studies. This blogpost specifically correlates with THIS YOUTUBE:… Continue reading AGI Basics: Five Key Reads

Emerging AGIs: Early 2024 Playing Field

AGI is not here … just yet. [*BLOGPOST IN PROGRESS – CHECK BACK FOR DAILY UPDATES!* (AJM, Tuesday, May 14, 2024; 0200 Hawai’i Time)] But – it’s getting close. Very, VERY close. What’s interesting – and important to all of us – is that there is no “singular” AGI, and it’s important to make this… Continue reading Emerging AGIs: Early 2024 Playing Field

AI, Climate, and Energy (Resource Collection)

One of the most important things in the emerging AI-world is how we handle the ENERGY NEEDS of AI systems. This actually invokes a much bigger question – how will we handle energy needs overall? How do we mitigate (and potentially reverse) the climate crisis? How do we build sustainability and resilience into our energy… Continue reading AI, Climate, and Energy (Resource Collection)

AGI: Fundamental Concepts (Getting Started Reading List)

This is a blogpost-in-progress. It is intended to provide resources accompanying a YouTube that I plan to put out this week. Check back for more as the week progresses – thank you! – AJM (Monday, May 6th, 2024; 1AM Hawai’i time) Resources and References From the Prologue to LeCun’s work: This document is not a… Continue reading AGI: Fundamental Concepts (Getting Started Reading List)
