Happy 2026! <\/p>\n

My prize for best AI cartoon of 2025 (reprinted with permission) goes to \u2026. Tom Fishburne!<\/p>\n

And, bonus, to help prepare you to think critically about AI 2026, in an era in which everyone is wondering whether generative AI will turn out to do be a dud<\/a>, here are five essays from 2025 worth reading or rereading: <\/p>\n

Why LLMs just can\u2019t stop hallucinating<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Generalization is \u2014 and always has been \u2014 the vital question<\/a>. How Apple\u2019s reasoning paper brought that back to the fore.<\/p>\n

LLMs are not like you and me\u2014and never will be<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What world models are, and why we desperately need them<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Neurosymbolic AI will displace pure LLMs over time<\/a>; here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n

If the above analysis is correct, the dominance of LLMs may soon start to decline \u2014 and we may start seeing newer, more sound approaches start to emerge. <\/p>\n
