Excited about the new xLSTM model release. There are many well-though designs compared to transformers: recurrence (which should allows composability), gating (like Mamba & LSTM which is based on, which allows time complexity independent of the input size), state tracking (unlike Mamba & transformers). For now, these advantage aren’t apparent on benchmarks, but most training techniques are secrets, and the recent advances of LLMs evidenced that they matter a lot.

AI and the Ends of Humanity: Thinking Theologically after ChatGPT
The advent of increasingly sophisticated and potentially autonomous forms of artificial intelligence poses a challenge to understandings of the human place in the cosmos in ways perhaps as profound as the Copernican Revolution.  And while artificial general intelligence is not yet and may never be a reality, digital technologies are already introducing powerful new possibilities for deception, surveillance, and bias, exacerbating polarization, and changing the meaning of intimacy, care, creati…
