In this month's edition of the Quantum Fax Machine's Machine Intelligence Reading List, we challenge long-standing myths about computational limitations and explore how complexity theory shapes machine behaviour. What Computers Cannot Do: The Consequences of Turing-Completeness dissects the inherent limitations of computers through the lens of the Halting Problem and Turing-completeness, offering crucial insights into the boundaries that many programmers often overlook.

We also look at the practical side of machine intelligence with Replicate.com which provides a comprehensive platform for deploying and scaling AI models. This tool simplifies the use of open-source AI, offering an accessible way for businesses to integrate machine intelligence into their workflows. Equally practically, Outset.ai uses a variety of generative AI techniques to help with the synthesis of video, audio, and text conversations.

In the broader landscape of AI agent architectures, The Landscape of Emerging AI Agent Architectures for Reasoning, Planning, and Tool Calling: A Survey offers a meticulous overview of emerging methods that bolster reasoning and planning capabilities, emphasising the importance of advanced architectures in making machines more adept at problem-solving. Continuing the exploratory theme of agentic behaviour, An Agentic Design for AI Consciousness explores (speculatively) how agent-based architectures might help LLMs move towards a more human-like level of consciousness.

For those wishing to understand how LLMs work, Transformer Math 101 dives in to explain LLMs from a mathematical perspective. 3Blue1Brown: Neural Networks covers similar topics in a fantastic set of from-the-ground-up explanatory videos. And if you just want a TED talk style overview of what might be coming next, then What Is an AI Anyway? by Mustafa Suleyman is a great place to start your learning journey.

If you are a gen-AI sceptic, check out Looking for AI Use Cases and Generative AI is still a solution in search of a problem which question what, if any, use cases have genuine value now and into the future.

And many more!

As always, the Quantum Fax Machine Propellor Hat Key will guide your browsing. Enjoy!
