It would be cool to try to generate the "knowledge" as in Cyc automatically, from LLMs.

Or vice versa - perhaps some subset of the "thought chains" of Cyc's inference system could be useful training data for LLMs.

  • When I first learned about LLMs, what came to mind is some sort of "meeting of the minds" with Cyc. 'Twas not to be, apparently.

    • I view Cyc's role there as a RAG for common sense reasoning. It might prevent models from advising glue on pizza.

          (is-a 'pizza 'food)
          (not (is-a 'glue 'food))
          (for-all i ingredients
            (assert-is-a i 'food))
