When @neiltyson does an episode of StarTalk on the robot you helped build, it's a full-circle moment. His passion for space and the big questions of the universe has always fueled my curiosity and drive to explore. Grateful for his influence on my journey into the cosmos! 🚀🌌

Yes 100%. I’m calling it now, we will see a resurgence of Prolog and other logic programming languages. Knowledge graphs are going to see huge growth now that relations are easy to discern from text using LLMs

The integration of heuristics & algorithms with LLM generation will lead to a geometric increase in AI FUNCTION (not potential, this is potential realization) in the very short term. A lot of older cognitive programming / AI techniques will see a Renaissance when paired w/ LLMs.

@savvyRL An agent has senses “precepts” and an action space. It uses actions from its action space to effect its environment. It then observes that environment and repeats until it accomplishes its goals. Modern LLM based agents can use, for instance, arbitrary Python functions, as tools

We’re still in the “chat-with-data” phase of LLMs (mainstream). Some really smart people are working on plugins, or “chat-with-everything”. But the innovators? They’re working on LLM agents and human-agent feedback loops.

Compared to human SME baselines, ROSA can complete most tasks in a fraction of the time. We're talking 10x - 50x time savings for tasks like tracking down under published topics, generating system reports, sifting through log files, and lots more.
