I get really sick of hearing about OpenAI and the rest of the LLM crowd making absurd claims about LLMs like ChatGPT being AGI. LLMs are not even close to AGI. If you want to see real research into AGI, watch this video on Chris Eliasmith's Spaun (semantic pointer architecture unified network). It may not look as snazzy and consumer-ready as all these hallucinating LLMs being marketed to us, but this is the real deal: A single system that can do lots of different things the brain does and that LLMs can never do.

@root The closest technologies we have to how the human brain works are not LLMs, but some less well-known ones: reinforcement learning algorithms and hyperdimensional computing. If you want to see what HDC is capable of, check out this video:

Here's a really interesting (long) paper on what a theory of computing based on arbitrary physical substrates might look like: http://arxiv.org/abs/2307.15408

Toward a formal theory for computing machines made out of whatever physics offers: extended version

Approaching limitations of digital computing technologies have spurred research in neuromorphic and other unconventional approaches to computing. Here we argue that if we want to systematically engineer computing systems that are based on unconventional physical effects, we need guidance from a formal theory that is different from the symbolic-algorithmic theory of today's computer science textbooks. We propose a general strategy for developing such a theory, and within that general view, a specific approach that we call "fluent computing". In contrast to Turing, who modeled computing processes from a top-down perspective as symbolic reasoning, we adopt the scientific paradigm of physics and model physical computing systems bottom-up by formalizing what can ultimately be measured in any physical substrate. This leads to an understanding of computing as the structuring of processes, while classical models of computing systems describe the processing of structures.

@thezerobit for fielded devices I gotta agree. However, for algorithmic explanation of an approach to computing that might *actually* be well suited to memristors (and other proposed noisy hardware technologies) there's a reasonable amount of activity in the Vector Symbolic Architecture / Hyperdimensional Computing space:
