• The A2A project: Agent cards for collaboration (Was: A real Terence Tao Ingestion Problem)

    Hi,

    I just wrote:
    Basically subscribing to the open source dream
    of Linux, that many eyes can flatten out bugs. But
    this is contra-productive to use strong tools and
    then wait for weak humans!

    If the agent AI used to produce the AI slop, would
    be named. One could fork the repo. Do some change
    using the same AI. And do a pull request. Maybe I

    am mistaken, but on a first sight, it is not so evident,
    whether a) there is attempt to hide that it is AI slop,
    or b) whether there is some agent card included in

    the project, so that one could continue where
    others left off. After all GitHub is based
    on the idea of forking and sharing.

    Bye

    P.S.: I complete made that up that an agent card
    would help. But I derived it from the A2A project.
    So this is the speculative part of my post. Maybe

    there are other solutions, to still have humans in
    the loop, in a more meaningful way, in that the tools
    are also shared. In this case adressing the agentic

    AI that made the AI slop.

    Food for thought: Does your Agent have a Card?

    https://discourse.prolog-lang.org/t/food-for-thought-does-your-agent-have-a-card/206

    While the A2A project casts the agent card as a solution
    to interoperability. Maybe its also key to group
    cooperation, keeping the human in the loop and giving

    them strong tools, and not use AI slop to
    build silly weak fortresses.

    Hi,

    The post is only proof of the Terence Tao
    ingestion problem hypothesis. That we are not
    anymore able to process content, and that
    even trust is destroyed.

    The AI slop presented here as a rCLsaferCY prolog
    agent toolkit, halucinates things like. And it
    does so consistently across many pages, still it
    wants to provide rCLsafetyrCY:

    ### Bakage (`bakage.toml`)
    The package manifest format used by Scryer Prolog to
    declare project metadata, exported modules, and dependencies. https://github.com/dougransom/prolog-agent-toolkit

    While I donrCOt find any evidence for such a
    manifest file. Its rather:

    A package is a directory with a scryer-manifest.pl
    following this schema: etc..
    https://github.com/bakaq/bakage

    That the post has even likes from field experts
    like Moura from Logtalk and Torbjorn from Web
    Prolog, shows that a) you can post any nonsense
    on GitHub people

    will clap, and b) this forum is useless only
    spreading AI slop. So while everybody is talking
    about provenance and justification, as a desiderata,
    the prolog agent toolkit is

    just an example of unhinged free wheeling analogical
    reasoning, probably taking phrases such as cargo.toml
    as a blue print and projecting them into phrases
    such aa bakage.toml.

    I still think a tool breaks when its weakest
    chain link break, even if people take this as a
    joke of mine. But well you are all free to give it
    a try, like running AI homunculi as a new sport.

    Terence Tao
    I have recently made the point that out of three
    major components of the mathematical problem
    solving process - proof generation, proof
    verification, and proof digestion https://mathstodon.xyz/@tao/116551624228986501

    P.S.: Such repos are useless if there is no way
    to cockpit the original agentic AI used. You would
    need to go through the route of tickets and GitHub
    issues to fix problems.

    Basically subscribing to the open source dream
    of Linux, that many eyes can flatten out bugs. But
    this is contra-productive to use strong tools and
    then wait for weak humans!

    Hi,

    The idea that mathematics is based on a universal bowel
    movement system, that needs to learn and use "right and
    natural" math, is already disproved by our Indian vegetarian

    visitors here, that can even not digest Swiss Cheese. So
    lets declare repeating a canon a dead skill in the age of
    LLMs, and dig deeper what intelligence could mean.

    There is a thesis and ongoing product development:

    On the Measure of Intelligence Fran|oois Cholle author
    of the notable book "Deep Learning with Python"
    https://arxiv.org/pdf/1911.01547

    Ndea is building frontier AI systems that blend intuitive pattern
    recognition and formal reasoning into a unified architecture.
    https://ndea.com/about

    What about putting "right and natural" aside. And train
    mathematical intuition? Maybe the pressure of the moon
    race and cold war is lacking? And P(doom) is even

    the wrong wakeup call, but a genius pressure cooker!

    LoL

    Hi,

    Even Philip Wadler sounds like he has seen the
    first Apocalyptic horse rider. But what do these
    hardcore formalists think, that we go with a

    2300-year old Aristotelian inferencing like Modus
    Barabra (*) into the next decade of 2030?

    All humans are mortal
    All Greeks are humans
    --------------------------------
    Therefore all Greeks are mortal

    Or as the formalists like to write it, but this
    is already a "fucked up" chain rule:

    reCx (M(x) raA S(x))
    reCx (G(x) raA M(x))
    roCroCroCroCroCroCroCroCroCroCroCroCroCroCroCroCroC
    re| reCx (G(x) raA S(x))

    Its just various camps fighting world domination:

    And the winner in the P(doom) bottom race is:

    Hi,

    Woa! The public now marveling at the cascade
    LLM, LRM and now Swarms. And little software
    agents posting PERMADEATH.

    How it started:

    The co-evolution of AI and systems with Lidong Zhou
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVuJuGwkSu0

    How its going:

    This Is the AI Agent Story That Scared Me
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aw3MF8pY3w

    They are all clueless that Strong AI, requires
    to go from in vitro , to in vivo, usually called
    situated AI. Applies also to swarms:

    "Being situated is generally considered to be part
    of being embodied, but it is useful to consider
    each perspective individually. The situated
    perspective emphasizes that intelligent behavior
    derives from the environment and the agent's
    interactions with it. The nature of these
    interactions are defined by an agent's embodiment."
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Situated_approach_(artificial_intelligence) >>>>

    And emergence of private languages is nothing new.
    I am pretty sure the interested reader will find
    some 30 year old papers of in vitro simulations,

    of software agents developing pebbel languages.

    Have Fun!

    Bye

    Wouldn't it be completely pointless to have A.I. agents making tools
    for other A.I. agents, and there's no human whatsoever in the loop?
