Might be a good time to repost this, as a reminder of my views. I argue against all forms of medically unnecessary nonconsensual genital cutting including the “ritual nick” form of what the WHO defines as FGM

The risk of more reliable AI ... why less (but nonzero) hallucination could end up being a problem

There's an entire parallel scientific corpus most western researches never see. Today i'm launching https://t.co/6FZMFpFvSb, a fully automated translation pipeline of all Chinese preprints, including the figures, to make that available.

New paper 🚨 Are LLMs just “calculators for writing”? In this new paper led by Cristina Voinea, we argue that while there are some aspects of the analogy that can be defended, ultimately it is inadequate. Link and highlights below.

This paper claims that many separately trained neural networks end up using the same small set of weight directions. Across about 1100 models, they find about 16 directions per layer that capture most weight variation. A weight is just a number inside the model that controls

A new PNAS paper finds that polarization increased immediately after the invention of smartphones and the advent of social media, which both appeared around the same year, 2008. Both profoundly changed the way humans communicate and this rise of connectivity may have fueled

It feels pretty obvious at this point that someone’s going to make billions building a social app that’s just for friends, no AI slop, no brainrot, calm design, chronological feed and no concept of followers.

New (short) paper by Silvia Milano (@SilviaMilano1) and me: "Advanced AI assistants that act on our behalf may not be ethically or legally feasible", in Nature Machine Intelligence (@NatMachIntell) #aiethics https://t.co/0uKTGg8xmr @MunichCenterML @LMU_Muenchen @aiatlmu

I just read a paper that made me deeply uncomfortable about the future of science. It’s called “When Reject Turns into Accept”, and it quantifies how easy it is to manipulate LLM-based scientific reviewers without ever touching the review prompt. Here’s what they actually
