People doing frontier research in knowledge representation & reasoning are worrying that soon, with the merging of LLM and knowledge graphs, automated 'everything' from research to production, will be possible. This implies that 'human cleverness' will get you nowhere any more and the only limits will then be computation - a resource Big Tech is hard at work completely walling normal people out of.

What exactly is 'merging' here? Existing formal knowledgebases with LLMs? I don't think that's anywhere near human knowledge and thus ability to make novel connections. And autoformalization is... basically not happening soon, so we're still ultimately bottlenecked there.

This is where I thought Cyc might contribute.

[hackernudes]

Would Cyc count as a "knowledge graph" that the poster is referring to?

They're worried about the next step, when we haven't quite digested the current step?

Always. Rushing is the chief sacrament in the religion of speed. Get there before the other guy or get got.

Uh, any sources on that?
