I agree with @garymarcus.bsky.social. I think we are in a deep local optimum and need a major disruption. We need to create systems that learn and use models and abstractions, especially causal ones. We need to escape pure statistical learning (the field to which I've devoted my career)

The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear. I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...

AlphaGeometry2 is impressive but not a general-purpose #AI. It excels at International Mathematical Olympiad geometry problems, achieving gold-medal level performance. However, it requires problems translated into specialized notation and struggles with basic geometric concepts. 1/2

Any talk you hear from the current administration about making the US more competitive in science and technology is utter bullshit. What they are doing is sabotaging our country for years if not decades to come.
