      You may not be trying, but that doesn’t mean that’s not a potential outcome. GOFAI died for a reason, dude...https://twitter.com/garymarcus/status/1003281087974531072 …

      I am NOT trying to hasten another AI winter; I want the field to stave one off, by reducing hype, & considering new models that incorporate symbol-manipulation and innateness (often too quickly dismissed). I want to more AI, not less, but I also want it to be robust. https://twitter.com/symplectic2025/status/1003207615915028480 …

      of course it could die; if we maintain the current ratio of hype to genuine innovation, without achieving robustness, it will.

      1/ It’s not about “hype”, or “genuine innovation”, that’s pretty meaningless word play. The Q is whether abandoning NNs in favour of innate symbol proc systems is a good idea for anyone to pursue.

      2/ I don’t think innate symbol proc is a good path for anyone to go down. Why? Because of what I’ve learned about natural intelligence in real brains.

      3/ There are innate priors in the brain’s architecture, but everything is plastic. I spent my PhD sculpting receptive field in the midbrain visual systems of *frogs*. All species’ brains are adaptable by experience.

      4/ Plus, ppl can’t do symbol proc innately. We *learn* to do symbol proc. And it’s difficult for us. Language isn’t a counterexample - ppl struggle with many sentences that are technically grammatical. Chompskian UG never accounted for real human data well.

      Aside from the fact that you misspelled Chomsky you might want to look at my work on infant rule-learning, and Judit Gervain’s followups with newborns, before simply asserting this. The data contradict your claim, and your claim lacks data.

      Haha.. yeah, sorry, my friend has a dog named Chompsky, typo. But thanks for being petty about it. But, I’m not simply asserting that. Try to parse a sentence with many embedded clauses, it’s tough! If you look at psycholinguistic data, they indicate a lot of statistical learning

      There is a long literature on how memory interacts with other mechanisms; you are IMHO misplacing the cause of the failure.

          There’s more than that. Why do ppl prefer the non-split infinitive, despite teachers telling us otherwise? What are idioms? There are many examples to show that our language is shaped by sequence statistics.
