26.0318 Lab notes (Gdrive) Git

This page describes my take on core AI agent concepts.

  • 1 Agentic AI "on rails" is the future of AI
  • 2 Input junk into a transformer/CNN and you get junk output. Intelligence?
  • 3 End users need a realistic (honest) assessment of AI
  • 4 AI will never have intelligence, so how to move forward? Limit ("harness") AI inputs
  • 5 My demo roadmap
  • 6 My Substack posts
  • 7 Youtube videos (4 YT videos that give great insight into agents) (all have English subtitles and audio available)

1 Agentic AI "on rails"" is the future of AI

Constraining model inputs (harness engineering, AI on rails) is the only way to avoid junk AI outputs.

The term "on rails" is borrowed from Ruby on rails.

2 Input junk into a transformer/CNN and you get junk output. Intelligence?

  • Input junk and AI outputs the most probable match.
  • Input something thats not junk, but for some reason the UFA does not approximate correctly, then the result is junk.
  • AI does not warn you when it outputs junk.

3 End users need a realistic (honest) assessment of AI

I have been focusing a lot recently on my long-standing claim that GPU-based AI has no intelligence and never will. The reasons for this

  • 1 Honesty pays (especially if you are an AI end-user).
  • 2 AI gurus know that AI has no intelligence.
  • 3 To truly exploit AI, you need to have a realistic assessment of its capabilities.

Slowly the limitations of AI (it is not intelligent and never will be) are being acknowledged. Part of the reason is the rapidly growing customer base is accumulating a lot more hands-on experience.



4 AI will never have intelligence, so how to move forward? Limit ("harness") AI inputs

  • Create a “sandbox” for the LLM that will limit the input to the LLM.
  • This will be analogous to binary apps running on an OS “sandbox” (preventing the app from crashing the OS).

5 My demo roadmap

This is still under development. I will start on this on 26.0326. Wiki page: https://github.com/terrytaylorbonn/auxdrone/wiki/3b%E2%80%902-Demo-roadmap .  



6 My Substack posts



7 Youtube videos

Recent videos from my favorite AI blogger “Best Partner” that sum things up perfectly.

  • 7.1 A VC analysis of the future agent market (it belongs to those who adapt quickly) (#375)
  • 7.2 The future of AI belongs to framework tools that maximize AI model reliability (such as Harness) (#377)
  • 7.3 An AI guru talks about the “bitter lesson” (bitter for AI gurus) of the unrealized promises of AI (#Welch)
  • 7.4 An AI guru who has far more modest expectations (promises) for AI (#376)

7.3 An AI guru talks about the “bitter lesson” (bitter for AI gurus) of the unrealized promises of AI (#Welch)

The following is a quote from Richard Sutton (AI guru) in the recent YT video “Can humans make AI any better?” (from Welch Labs https://youtu.be/2hcsmtkSzIw?t=547 ). This article states that it was a bitter lesson to discover that the “contents” of minds are so “irredeemably” complex (intelligent) that AI can not fake human intelligence. The answer: Use the same AI tech to search and discover the world by itself.
