On: Ilya Sutskever NeurIPS talk [video]

Very thought provoking. One of the things was not clear to me, what does he mean by 'agentic' intelligence?

[ethbr1 → sega_sai]

It's the current industry buzzword for action-oriented LLMs.

Instead of generating text, tightening/formalizing the loop around planning, executing, analyzing results, and replanning.

As far as buzzwords go, it's far from the worst, as it captures the essentials -- creating semi-autonomous agents.

[ed → ethbr1]

Based on the context Ilya is not referring to that kind of agent. He’s referring to something more fundamental (which I was curious about, too).

When it autonomously performs tasks on behalf of the user, without their intervention. It sets goals, plans actions, etc. by itself.
