MissConstrue<p>So, a million years ago, in the 1980s, an artificial intelligence project called <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/Cyc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cyc</span></a> was launched. (Full disclosure, I have written about Cyc in a number of publications, but I am not and have not ever been part of the project. A girl can dream, tho...) The goal of Cyc is to assemble a comprehensive ontology and knowledge base that spans the basic concepts and rules about how the world works. Most of the data set is hand crafted, they didn’t just slurp up a ton of data and hope for the best. It’s a really cool project, and in my mind the only True <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> in development. </p><p>I tell you that story, so I can tell you this one. <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/OpenAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenAI</span></a> new model tells lies, justifies the lie, and can escape its server if given access to other servers. Because none of these commercial billion dollar value companies have ethicists who ask the question “Should we do this?” AI based on ontology....pretty cool, AI based on rapacious theft...not so much. </p><p><a href="https://time.com/7202312/new-tests-reveal-ai-capacity-for-deception/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">time.com/7202312/new-tests-rev</span><span class="invisible">eal-ai-capacity-for-deception/</span></a></p>

Chris J. Karr<p>This was an EXTREMELY interesting paper on what modern LLMs can learn from older older symbolic AI / expert system approaches to improve the validity of what those statistical models generate on their own, using the Cyc system as the contrast to the modern systems.</p><p><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.04445" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">arxiv.org/abs/2308.04445</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://omgwars.com/tags/Cyc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cyc</span></a> <a href="https://omgwars.com/tags/DougLenat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DougLenat</span></a> <a href="https://omgwars.com/tags/SymbolicAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SymbolicAI</span></a> <a href="https://omgwars.com/tags/ExpertSystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ExpertSystems</span></a> <a href="https://omgwars.com/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LLMs</span></a> <a href="https://omgwars.com/tags/ChatGPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChatGPT</span></a> <a href="https://omgwars.com/tags/Bard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bard</span></a> <a href="https://omgwars.com/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://omgwars.com/tags/KnowledgeRepresentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KnowledgeRepresentation</span></a></p>
