On the other hand, any conclusions we draw will have a very short shelf life, because the machines are in constant flux. Meanwhile, the ease with which one can do this research will sap the attention of researchers away from the harder work of understanding humans.

The viral "Definition of AGI" paper tells you to read fake references which do not exist! Proof: different articles present at the specified journal/volume/page number, and their titles exist nowhere on any searchable repository. Take this as a warning to not use LMs to generate your references!

#CoreCognition #LLM #multimodal #GrowAI We spent 3 years to curate 1503 classic experiments spanning 12 core concepts in human cognitive development and evaluated on 230 MLLMs with 11 different prompts for 5 times to get over 3.8 millions inference data points. A thread (1/n) - #ICML2025 ✅

New Paper Alert ‼️ Current VLMs completely fail human gaze understanding 🙀 and scaling does NO help ‼️ However, humans, since an extremely age 🧒, are extremely sensitive to other people's gaze 🙄 👀 No mentors, no labs, only pre-doc students, 111 VLMs, and we did it 😎

Sam is 100% correct on this. Indeed, human babies have essential cognitive priors such as permanence, continuity, and boundary of objects, 3D Euclidean understanding of space, etc. We spent 2 years to systematically to examine and show the lack of such in MLLMs: arxiv.org/abs/2410.10855
