By deploying AI breakthroughs in LLMs as models of language use—rather than as end-to-end models of intelligence—and connecting them to models of the thinking and learning our minds do prior to and independent of language, [1/2]
Human vision can pick out moving objects from a busy background. MIT researchers have created GenMatter, a hardware-accelerated inference algorithm that uses dots or textures to distinguish items.

we have the opportunity not only to build more robust and efficient AI systems, but to rebuild the bridge between cognitive science and AI. [2/2]
We were thrilled to host Prof. Tom Mitchell of CMU last month — if you're interested in machine learning and the people who created this field, check out the recording of his talk.

Playing "Battleship" relies on thinking logically, considering unknowns, and eliminating impossibilities. What if machines play? MIT researchers used the classic game as a test bed for AI agents. @joshtenenbaum.bsky.social
