@itsmaya@social.treehouse.systems @vantiss@social.treehouse.systems not necessarily taking a side on whether LLMs are capable of achieving AGI, but that's a pretty reductionist take on the symbolic / connectionist debate. it wasn't really a "resounding consensus" so much as "a couple guys with a lot of clout concluded an incredibly primitive neural net can't do math" and everyone kinda went along with it. again, not really taking a side there because i think it's irrelevant whether LLMs can achieve "AGI" or not.
also, it's not really relevant (though worth mentioning) but the primary critic of connectionism back then would later become a regular at Little Saint James.
