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.

"Most young AI researchers have never even heard about it. But every single one of them should know something about Cyc. They don’t need to like it, but they should understand what it was, and what it tried to do, and what they might do instead to accomplish the same goals."

I wrote a long thing on AI writing and human writing that resembles AI. Where some tedious data manipulation tasks can be easier, where data narration could be automated in the future, and where some kind of human thinking is really needed. I'd be interested to hear whether some, all, or none of this resonates with people who take work writing seriously.

Will AI be able to write the code shader from video of shadertoy shaders? Kinda an inverse function.
