Wow, thanks for sharing, that’s hilarious. Even in the one about “multi agent” systems theres no reference older than 2023.

I know I shouldn’t be shocked by how arrogant the connectionist got with their (arguably unexpected) success, but I can’t help it! They legit act like “AI” is a new phenomenon, which is especially funny for someone like Ng, who’s been an AI celebrity for at least a decade. No hate—his course was my first intro to real ML & AI, like I’m sure it was for many of us. Just a teeny bit of righteous condescension, I guess.

For anyone interested in this kind of stuff, this would be the super-popular first stop: Marvin Minsky’s Society of Mind

The society of mind is an interesting reference. I remember browsing through it around the late 90's when it came out. It seemed to provide some theory for the basis of some of our cognitive functions in terms of a collection of cooperating agents. But then, I guess, what the agents themselves are made of was not clear/understood? Are today's LLM models capable of taking the form of those agents, and can we take inspiration from SoM to see how they can evolve together towards a more powerful (real/AG?) intelligence?
