My anxiety and depression are getting the best of me, and despite working on this blogpost for most of the weekend, I nearly trashed it. It's talking about specific advancements in neurosymbolic AI.
I'm worried people will think I am hypocritical because I am very outspoken against the AI *industry*, and that remains true. But I am not against AI, I am against the contemporary forms of AI, and its industry. Similarly, I am not against computers or social networks, but I am against the computer and social network industries. I think there are some paths to improving things. The one I have blogged about is one step that starts to address one side of things, but it's not definitive, and it doesn't remove all the other harms that I and others critique the industry of altogether... and it's largely not coming from the industry itself yet (but it could be incorporated by it).
I think I'll take the risk and publish it, since I do think I have things to say, despite all the anxieties
