“Even one of the most prominent critics of LLMs finally set a final test, after which we will officially enter the era of AGI”

“Accuracy rose from 33% to 55.5% on a private evaluation set.”

“Chollet explains that real intelligence isn't about memorizing information or having lots of knowledge - it's about being able to handle new situations effectively.”

“Chollet believes that NNs can only model continuous problems, which have a smooth learnable manifold and that many "type 2" problems which involve reasoning and/or planning are not suitable for NNs. He thinks that the future of AI must include program synthesis to allow us to generalise broadly from a few examples, but the search could be guided by neural networks because the search space is interpolative to some extent.”

“The podcast discusses topics like Christoph Molnar's book on intepretability, priors vs experience in NNs, and articles by Gary Marcus and Walid Saba critiquing deep learning.”

“The episode covers a wide range of topics related to AI and intelligence.”

“François Chollet is the creator of Keras, which is an open source deep learning library that is designed to enable fast, user-friendly experimentation with deep neural networks.”
