i saw one of their threads a while back that came down to "well this is kind of the only thing we have against these companies even though it's weird" so maybe there's someone who cares sincerely but even they seem to see it as instrumental

The correct opinion on the Oxford comma is to structure the sentence in such a way that you don't need some arcane rule to tell you how to interpret it.

I have real doubt about whether we *can* make the shift. Might require a different kind of management, with less independence for faculty. But your second post here is really good about keeping "eyes on the prize." I like existing institutions. But preserving them is not the point; serving ppl is.

There's also the separate axis of: do they actually conflict with your values, or do they have the same values but disagree on which solutions will get us there? Some genuinely have conflicting values, some do not. basically I'm trying to explain that people across political ideologies have way way way more in common than people realize. It's not obvious because people don't actually talk to or understand people who are different from them, culturally

there's a bunch of work in what you might call a mesoformalism (maybe seybold calls it that) - thinking about large corpuses in terms of form, genre, style, some aided by computational stuff, most in vein of a sociology of institutions (the network, the conglomerate publisher, the superstore)

I would summarize the advice there as “teach students to be appropriately skeptical of AI.” Good advice! But if that’s all we do? If corporations are constantly improving models people use for their work, and universities just teach “how to be wary of them”? I don’t like our odds in that scenario.

Google (Search) they’re currently gathering gobs of data on your private preferences, interests, learning style, etc. historically this type of data was transparently sold to advertisers but here, it’s pumped into AI-enabled apps to make prompting a thing of the past. The AI always knows what you intended, bc it knows *you*

Turns out a ton of standard sex-differentiated behavioral traits like aggression and risk-taking are not correlated with ambient testosterone, induced by added testosterone, or consistently differentiated in matrilineal societies. I was not ready for the coda where it highlighted that tech is currently working to replace "dirty workers" but can't remove the moral stain of dirty work on those of us who benefit from it. And that we have unusual freedom to change jobs to avoid moral injury.

I think more people will use mistral chat and API if they release the underlying model weights behind them (especially as models get big like DeepSeek). Goes for new Codestral too. APIs are still easier to work with, but open releases drive tinkering, research, and tons of engagement.

Hard to make chatbots replace American PCPs in one of their primary functions: mildly inconveniencing patients who are trapped on HMO plans and need a referral. Saves insurance way more money through self-referral bills than they'd save on PCP fees.

in that situation I switch into a defensive mode of "study the other person". My claim is there is always a motive, and if I am competent I can deduce that. Their motive is either earnest conviction or it's a human or bot arguing in circles, which is itself useful information for me This is also why I'm building like interfaces to summarize/cluster all my interactions, and I want to see that for others. We can see patterns of interactions. In mine you can see my changing my mind, that can't be faked

4) But most fundamentally, the success of language models has been so sweeping that people are busy trying to figure out how cultural history even survives in this new era. Whether the answer is “reject AI” or “transform it,” “answer specific historical questions” has slipped down the priority list. So where 10 years ago we might have thought “wow, with sufficiently powerful NLP we could answer all these questions …” The reality is more like “with really powerful NLP you’re going to find the opportunity cost is too high to muck around with those questions.”

what's wrong with wanting scripts? it makes sense to me that models would find writing code the "native" way to get traction towards solving these problems. i think that's how these mathematicians are seeing success with the models, by giving them the right affordances.

Hard to know, honestly. OpenAI was clearly leading, but this likely surpasses for use cases that require wider reading. O3 is still the leading model, however, so I suspect analysis is better with OpenAI.

We've all had flights like this. nature documentary of an otter on a plane using wifi on their laptop. They login to the airplane wifi and begin to work on a powerpoint titled "Otters on a Plane Using Wifi" and the person in the seat next to them asks "What are you working on?"

"Make it weird" is a fun/horrifying prompt to use with GPT-4o if you want something vaguely Lovecraftian. Here is a picture of a bird with the prompts "make it weird," "weirder," and then what happens after I say "even weirder" a few more times.

This paper confirms my belief that figuring out how to effectively employ LLMs at scale in education is one of the most important research problems of the day (and no, the answer is not “replace teachers with AI”) Huge potential returns, and the worst case use of AI is already happening in schools.

i’m noticing that R1-0528 doesn’t use words like “Wait”, it just keeps digging deeper on its own, more naturally it’s also *very* good, i haven’t tested it enough, but quick tests are impressive

In our new paper on using AI solving real business problems at Procter and Gamble where we found AI helped individuals, even inexperienced ones, perform as well as teams of two, we gave participants a set of default prompts to work with. Here some of them are: www.oneusefulthing.org/p/the-cybern... The experiments were done with GPT-4/4o. I would prompt differently, now, as Reasoners and more recent models are less sensitive to personas and CoT (and probably less sensitive to prompting technique overall).

Now let's think about utility functions: A utility function simply says "ah yes, if you have a good thing, then having *higher probability* of that good thing is better." Not just that: It says how much better a n% higher probability of a world A is compared to a world B. That is equivalent to a *direction* on the probability simplex. As you rotate this direction you change the trade-off between A and B. (I notice I mixed up propositions and worlds, I meant them to be the same thing).

None of this is the fault of trainers - I have taught my students how to do Chain-of-thought, etc. But we need to start to think about how to teach people to use AI in a world that is changing quite rapidly. Focusing on exploration and use, rather than a set of defined rules.
