Aggregated enterprise architecture wisdom
GPT-3o has done very well on the ARC-AGI-PUB benchmark. Sam Altman has also claimed OpenAI is confident that it can build Artificial General Intelligent (AGI). But that may be based on confusions around ‘learning’. On the difference between narrow, ge…
I came across a 2 minute video where Ilya Sutskever — OpenAI’s chief scientist — explains why he thinks current ‘token-prediction’ large language models will be able to become superhuman intelligences. How? Just ask them to act like one.
Should we be hopeful or scared about imminent machines that are as intelligent or more than humans? Surprisingly, this debate is even older than computers, and from the mathematician Ada Lovelace comes an interesting observation that is as valid now as…
After watching my talk that explains GPT in a non-technical way, someone asked GPT to write critically about its own lack of understanding. The result is illustrative, and useful. “Seeing is believing”, true, but “believing is seeing” as well.
We should stop labelling the wrong results of ChatGPT and friends (the ‘hallucinations’) as ‘errors’. Even Sam Altman — CEO of OpenAI — agrees, they are more ‘features’ than ‘bugs’ he has said. But why is that? And why should we not call them errors?
If someone tries to get you to invest in some shiny new technology — like blockchain 5-8 years ago — beware. How do you judge these proposals? A realistic use case is key.
Blake Lemoine, a Google engineer, has claimed the LaMDA language neural net chatbot is sentient, is alive. Nonsense on stilts, according to one critic.
A musing about the meaning of ‘life’. And abortion. And doubt. And the point Lemoine has but doesn…
What is the information revolution doing to us humans? A very condensed journey from essences of digital technology and human intelligence to the role of talk, trust and the impact of IT on society.

An interesting talk by Professor Hélène @Landemore at @TORCHOxford yesterday, exploring the possibility that some forms of artificial intelligence might assist democracy. I haven’t yet read her latest book, which is on Open Democracy.There are various …
In the age of the customer, consumers have more information, more choices, more access, and more power. But they don’t have more time. That’s why the companies that attract, win and retain customers focus on delivering the tenets of great e…
The Northern Virginia Technology Council’s (NVTC) Digital Strategy Committee (#nvtcdigstrat) recent event regarding Digital Strategy and Public Safety, featuring Richard R. Bowers – Chief, Fairfax Fire Department – revealed several very interesting and useful challenges for the NOVA business community.
Not least of which was the current challenges around focused, resourced digital strategy planning across the County constituent agencies, and among local jurisdictions.
Many targeted capabilities and improvements in “front-end” digital tools, outreach and engagement, plus initiatives on the “back-end” to handle system-specific data and information management are certainly underway, but information-sharing among the public safety stakeholders – businesses, government and the public – remains a strategic planning, governance and education hurdle to address. In other words, a B2G2C digital strategy challenge.
