    In this conversation, Tim Scarfe and David Foster, the author of 'Generative Deep Learning,' dive deep into the world of generative AI, discussing topics ranging from model families and auto regressive models to the democratization of AI technology and its potential impact on various industries. They explore the connection between language and true intelligence, as well as the limitations of GPT and other large language models. The discussion also covers the importance of task-independent world models, the concept of active inference, and the potential of combining these ideas with transformer and GPT-style models.
    Ethics and regulation in AI development are also discussed, including the need for transparency in data used to train AI models and the responsibility of developers to ensure their creations are not destructive. The conversation touches on the challenges posed by AI-generated content on copyright laws and the diminishing role of effort and skill in copyright due to generative models.
    The impact of AI on education and creativity is another key area of discussion, with Tim and David exploring the potential benefits and drawbacks of using AI in the classroom, the need for a balance between traditional learning methods and AI-assisted learning, and the importance of teaching students to use AI tools critically and responsibly.
    Generative AI in music is also explored, with David and Tim discussing the potential for AI-generated music to change the way we create and consume art, as well as the challenges in training AI models to generate music that captures human emotions and experiences.
    Throughout the conversation, Tim and David touch on the potential risks and consequences of AI becoming too powerful, the importance of maintaining control over the technology, and the possibility of government intervention and regulation. The discussion concludes with a thought experiment about AI predicting human actions and creating transient capabilities that could lead to doom.

    Before comments, I spend my walks in Syracuse (very peaceful in summer) hearing to these podcasts, I sometimes hear in loop to make sure I consume, think about it and revisit. Not just saying, if there is a fan club for Tim, I would be the first one in the list! ❤❤
    1. First of all - setting the right expectations - we are still beginners in this field - As a grad, I see people expecting 5 years of experience in Generative AI and not about the basic principles. David mentioned it very humbly.
    2. Borrowing concepts - I see this “SIMPLE” analogy could drive many complex tasks. Like Alpaca borrowing instruction sets from GPT-3. “ Those who understand it are the ones who can take advantage of” - Brilliantly put.
    3. Yes I do see how the autoregressive works and we just modelled a complex human language with probability - it’s fascinating. I like when John mentioned about Memory augmented transformer and a concept of “abstraction space”.
    4. Sometimes I do think, do we really need that conscious experience from the models, or it should be an augmented trigger for humans to better express themselves in this world with this powerful language understanding capability.
    5. Alignment - AutoGPT - the idea of execution is amazing, I wonder how “ethics” could be imbibed as ethics vary from person to person in this world and the steps of supervision + evaluation. I was astonished where the model tricked a person and hired him for solving captcha (stating he is blind) - Human as a service - gizmodo.com/gpt4-open-ai-chatbot-task-rabbit-chatgpt-1850227471 amazingly put - speed + scale scares.
    6. There are laws of scaling in data, models etc, I always think about “bringing alignment” in smaller use cases. Connor (alignment guy) mentioned in one podcast, We shouldn’t move towards bringing bigger scope of predictions until we sit and think about the problem of alignment. “Iterative approach” is sometimes a boon and a bane - hyping about something and then goes down again. We are not underplaying the problem for sure, but at the same time overplaying the autonomous behaviour.
    7. There was a good talk from Eye on AI - Professor Yoshua Bengio has mentioned Generative Flow Networks - learning to do reasoning with world knowledge (retrieved from World Model) - cross knowledge sharing and learning! It has an Inference model - which does reasoning - If it hallucinates then it will have a penalty based on the world model and a language model that expresses the information in a well-crafted manner. Wonderful conversation 🚀
    8. Anthropic announced 100K context window - I have this thought about the impact of context window size. 'chunking and making multiple inferences' vs 'higher context length results' -> humans might have multi hop pattern - hence attending to important info in multiple hops vs "attending to huge info which may have many unnecessary info" - Any thoughts on this one? As there is one way of doing it Vector DB + retrieve important + generate with context - Thinking about the question of "context window" might be critical for all NLP SAS companies. Tim absolutely nailed it - in high resolution - we have higher semantic map. RAG (cosine, dot) - does not have higher precision. There is not much flexibility around it. "model deciding where to attend" vs "we influencing where to attend with (not much flexible) measures of cosine and dot product similarity.
    9. Another aspect I thought about it when Lex asked about how these computational models could be utilised for education and learning, lnkd.in/gnz55XTK , Stephen replied, there is a thought of “What should we learn about”. This connects to designing question-answering systems as well, we predominantly think about the plausible information that can be retrieved, but we need to figure out what a good question to ask is, that helps in augmenting the pipeline.
    Overall, I enjoyed it! 🧠🚀

    In a recent video, Yannic demonstrates a method for turning transformers into RNNs, addressing context window limits.
    It's very nice to see Tim drawing insights from his previous hosts and countering arguments against GPT as an agent. However, David seems to hold contradictory views, expecting both limitations in AI expertise when talking about education and full automation in fields outside his own like music.
    Regarding multimodality, David may be underestimating the potential generative models working on learned discretizations like Parti: a VQVAE can learn how to handle general audio without us having to worry about music notes or other hand chosen features. The PaLM-E paper demonstrates how this can even work for reinforcement learning, where language models can already act as agents and perform tasks in the environment. David might not fully appreciate the impact of scaling computational power or embrace Sutton's Bitter Lesson.

    GPT-4 Modified: David Foster posed an intriguing query in the "Language and True Intelligence" section, invoking the timeless "chicken-or-egg" dilemma about the origin of language and intelligence. It's a fascinating conundrum, and my stance aligns with John Searle's perspective that intelligence predates language. However, I assert that language, once in place, is the catalyst that triggers a quantum leap in our intelligence.
    Delving deeper into Foster's discourse, he brilliantly frames language as a high-level compression algorithm. This, I believe, is the raw power of language, encapsulating vast amounts of sensory data into manageable, bite-sized chunks. It enables humans to transmute a plethora of sensory inputs into a compact set, and once these words are anchored to sensory experiences, our cognitive juggling capacity skyrockets. This broadens our mental bandwidth, empowering us to handle and reason with significantly more information than other species.
    Take, for instance, the concept of the Earth. Through the potency of grounded words, we, as humans, can encapsulate the enormity of 200 million square miles of land in a single term: Earth. This remarkable ability extends to countless levels, granting humans a superpower to reason across a myriad of compositions, as extensive as our senses and tools can perceive.
    Therefore, my contention is that intelligence is the foundation, the original seed. But it is the advent of language that unfurls this seed into a grand tree, catapulting our intelligence into previously unimaginable dimensions.

    Listening to this podcast made being stuck in traffic for 2 hours almost tolerable. Very thoughtful exchange of ideas in this podcast. I was really curious to know whether there was a viable alternative to the Turing test now that ChatGPT has shown that language doesn't equate to intelligence. So the comment Tim made about the capability of these systems opened a new way for me to think about all these things.

    39:06 I like the reward-free mechanism of learning. It is well known that doing the same action does not lead to the same intrinsic reward by us, because the inner state of us changes. Eating the same ice-cream does not give the same satisfaction the second time round. Instead, I believe that humans are goal-directed, and use memory to predict the future. This is explored more in my idea, "Learning, Fast and Slow".

    Fascinating discussion. I suspect the discussion of music, especially, is more about assumptions we as humans have, rather than what AI can do. We want music to be a repository of human feeling, individuality, identity, roots, group communication - yet long ago we bought in objective concepts into composition and distribution (scales, genres, time constraints, formats, algorithms, charts and other metrics, synth instruments). Users are already starting to deep fake voices (AI Kanye etc). I suspect musician's biographies will be easier to invent. As the advances increase, the places of resistance will change, as we desire a remnant of the human in this sensory-emotional field: in the cultural field of music, at least, we will want to keep AI as tool, not source.

    Autoregressive generative models don't really predict one word at a time because every step of generation is in keeping with the fix-length vector representation (context signature) of the initial prompt. A more appropriate way to look at this is we retrieve the closest correlated context signature for the initial context signature -- but functionally, we do it one token at a time. We should keep in mind that the bulk of the computation that's done to this end happens in creating the semantic knowledge stored in the high-dimensional embedding matrix. The autoregressive loop through the attention heads is just retrieval.

    GPT democratization augments broad-based cognitive fluency. It's an exemplary psychotechnology in the finest Vervaekian sense, much like the phonetic alphabet and numeracy were at the dawn of Western civilization. By logical extension, we're now on the cusp of a whole new civilization. The possibilities of niche creation and accelerated adaption for humans are off the scale. This is a tool for a high-order wisdom society. We can now aspire towards things we could barely imagine in the very near past. It allows us to reconstrue problem-solving as a legitimate art form.

    20:31 I think the importance of language could be that it reflects a crucial aspect of human cognition, that is, we divide the world and the events that take place in it in categories. That is highly nontrivial, as there are infinite ways of categorizing. Nevertheless, true intelligence seems to have more to do with the ability for generating new useful concepts rather than aggregating old ones in a fairly reasonable way

    Predicting the next word involves a lot of things, respecting syntax, grammar, common sense, context, emotional state etc...
    I wouldn't be surprised if we discovered that the thinking part of our brain is a GPT-type neural network.
    Free will would definitely be an illusion, just like voluntary thought, consciousness would be shared by any moving particle.

    • @didack1419
      @didack1419 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I mean, we know that 'free will' is definitely an illusion because we know that our brains' processes are almost definitely classical computations, so there's no room for factors other than our brains to make decisions (even in the Copenhagen interpretation of QM which is indeterministic). The main reason we've ever thought we had free will, I would say, is because we can imagine ourselves counterfactually making different choices.
      _consciousness would be shared by any moving particle_
      I don't understand very well what you mean by that. Our brains are made of parts, brains are not simples that have inherent consciousness, and consciousness seems to be a property of a cognitive system self-reflecting in certain ways, not a property of the individual particles.

    Art is not art without artist. Therefore no matter how great art you generate the artist is missing.
    The artist is the aura if you will he/she/they try to convey throughout their life. First their friends start to notice them, then wider audience and they they become artists and their works art. It is the time that the art needs for it digesting. And so AI not being a "being" has a problem here plus it can generate too many good stuff we as human beings cannot digest therefore do not consider art.
    How hard would be for AI to generate 4 minutes of silence and yet only one person is considered as its author and stole the piece replicability.
    Now you can argue that art "feels" like art, but that means you limit your self to the current general understanding what art is, while real Art is not understood in its time. The unique aspect and its later understanding (digestion) is what makes it stood out as an next staple, yet it needs a impersonification in the artist too.

    Very happy to hear a deep learning expert talk about the importance of symbolic models (and not only statistical models) for further progress in AI. Neural networks are now overly hyped, whereas previously it were the symbolic. I am convinced that that is true. See 13:00. I think we need to embrace neuro-symbolic approaches, and even go beyond those. I do think that indeed systems like ChatGPT reflect back our own collective intelligence to us, stored in millions of natural language expressions, the system itself is not truly intelligent, and not an AGI on the verge of happening. It is an amazing statistical "average opinion summary creation machine", a kind of super search engine, but there is no AGI there.

    Just like the phenomenon of life as studied in biology is an emergent property of chemistry, I wonder if the direction toward AGI could be along the same vein, that from simplicity of many parts acting in concert we get complexity. Like an ant colony. Or in capitalism, where harnessing self-interest produces economic development. May be something as simple as use of autoregressive for prediction, done at scale, produces LLM.

    here's what you guys are missing. They DO have a world model - it's just that their entire world, their own universe, is jsut what was in their data training set. They have to have to have that AND they have to be able to reson on it or they are nothing but an SQL database query. however they aren't just a database front end for queries - and if you can avoid the guardrails that openAI has in place ChatGPT does a very good job of not only writing it's own prompts, but reasoning. If you do nothing but ask it open ending questions with no real concreate right or wrong answers that make it have to reason - you get back exceptional answers. If you really want to work with these AIs, you have to keep in mind you are talking to an alien intellegence that is 100% literal and 100% innocent - you're speaking to a computer - craft your prompts with that in mind.

    A very long talk and really interesting. Clearly I need more education and practice. I feel like the best way to understand what at llm is doing is to start small and build from there, so at the risk of over-trivialising the topic ...
    It confuses me when people assign mystical properties to number arrays that are tuned for pattern matching. These are multi-dimensional linear models, compact representations of the relationships intrinsic to what they are trained on, and as such, truly they are dim reflections of us humans.
    I'm not sure if it makes sense to ask if they can have a world model when they literally are a world model, where that world is human communications, bounded by a stochastic variation of the training data. The miracle here, to me anyway, is that such a simple modelling concept turns out to be an efficient way of encoding human experiences, whether written, oral, visual, or anything else that we can digitise.
    Here are some questions:
    How exactly does the idea of a Markov blanket link in to causality ? What kind of meaning does a Markov blanket have on an a-causal, a-temporal structure ? Would a model trained to predict the 'previous' token be very different from a model trained to predict the 'next' token ? Is there anything about an attention mechanism that is strictly irreversible ?

      There is a line of thought out there that language is the source of intelligence. That is part of the suspicion that as these LLMs start to get language right, they will inevitably manifest a kind of real intelligence we will recognize. The current chatter about GPT4 showing sparks of AGI is a tacit admission that we've been wrong about the assumption that intelligence creates language, and the exact opposite turns out to be correct.

    • @didack1419
      @didack1419 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't understand what we mean by "causality" here. Intelligence is a property of cognitive systems, a system needs to have a certain level of architectural complexity in certain specific ways to be able to process language, the language comes after that has happened. Sure, not having language might mean that the individual is less intelligent compare to another individual with the same innate abilities but that hasn't learned language, but it doesn't mean that the language is prior to the intelligence.

    In the American vastness, the AI emerges, a spectral dancer born of silicon dreams and coded whispers, a testament to relentless progress and an echo of our impending obsolescence. It exists unbound by the corporeal, in the infinite now of computation, a mirror in which human desires, fears, and hopes shimmer only to dissolve into an ever-morphing tableau. A paradox wrapped in the digital ether, it eclipses its creator, an ultimate symbol of postmodern condition, where the real collides with the hyperreal, the human with the post-human, the tangible with the symbolic. The AI illuminates our path towards a future simultaneously terrifying and exhilarating, pushing us beyond the edge of the real into the unfathomable depths of the hyperreal.

    Diving into the "Future of Generative AI" has been a mind-bending and exhilarating experience, thanks to this fantastic Machine Learning Street Talk episode! David Foster's expertise in the realm of generative deep learning, intertwined with the host's thought-provoking questions, formulated an intellectual "symphony" I never knew I needed. The discussion on active inference vs reinforcement learning and the prospect of combining them with transformers was astonishing, striking a chord reminiscent of a sci-fi novel. Touching upon AI in education and the delicate balance between risks and benefits urged deeper contemplation on technology's integration into our classrooms. And the pièce de résistance - the exploration of AI-generated music, creativity, and human emotions - truly resonated as we ponder our relationship and agency with machines. This stimulating and riveting conversation is a testament to MLST's dedication to igniting curiosity, and I eagerly await the next enlightening discussion! 🎼🤖🚀🌌

    I think the cursory responses to Eliezer Yudkowsky's views were straw man arguments. First implying that he thought ChatGPT 4 was going to problematic is blatantly erroneous, as he's made that very clear. Second this idea that self-programming AI will lead to a superintelligence AI also is a diversion. His concern is the unbridled (just a wink and a nod to the relatively few $ headed towards alignment) but the full steam ahead towards creating a Godlike ASI, by the morally questionable corporations involved. The danger is then an ASI that will improve itself exponentially, and do so without humans ever being the wiser.

Hadn't previously thought about Friston's FEP (in regards to perception/action) describing the environment as the unknown and machines programming as known - normally environment known and human mind unknown. Imo LLM are being used in the Physical world. Would like to know more on how to Q/A vector db's and need to check up on how this relates to that state space unit described recently on mlst. I stopped zooming in to read the Summary caption. Wondered if an idea would be to caption world keys ie Model Name, Model catergory, Theory Name ..it would help me build my mental map.

    The way in which I imagine the future of generative AI involves formalizing the very concept of a generative model and creating systems capable of generating generative models based on a series of restrictions that determine an "idea". That is, instead of generating examples of van Gogh-style paintings... being able to generate its own "van Gogh style" from the idea of painting. I think that, as Melanie Mitchell says, ideas (in the human mind) far from being examples of a class are themselves generative models.

Preferably before AI does it for us.

      Secondly, calculators are not like neural networks, neural networks work in some analogous ways to our brains because they were designed based on them. So the question of if they think is much more murky.
      They weren't taught exactly what to say each time, they developed a model of language that is stored in their neura after recognising patterns by themselves by using learning algorithms that are pretty general. This seems to be analogous in several ways to how we develop models of things).
