It’s a shame Gary Marcus is usually right because his writing style and personality are so annoyingly smug. He hates LLMs but only because he wants his own methods to be the path to AGI (or we could just… Not try to build AGI?) and wittering on about Trump bailing out OpenAI being socialism (bailouts are not generally considered socialism - it’s such an annoying tic to just shout socialism any time governments do something you don’t like).
Still great to see the stock market cottoning on - hopefully this sticks and it’s not just short-lived deepseek panic again

Yeah in a lot of LLM critiques he prattles on about neurosymbolic AI way too much and it really throws me off

Unfortunately with mass media and social media you just have to accept that the people who get the biggest audiences will like attention and get some of the details wrong. They are built to create stars not spread facts.
