Wow, tariffs have increased prices dramatically, for domestic goods as well as imported. Obviously, because domestic goods use imported materials and components. But apparently that wasn't obvious to the people who cooked up this policy...

AI JUST GENERATED NEW SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE

Google and Yale used a 27B Gemma model and it discovered a new cancer mechanism.

An exciting milestone for AI in science: Our C2S-Scale 27B foundation model, built with @Yale and based on Gemma, generated a novel hypothesis about cancer cellular behavior, which scientists experimentally validated in living cells.  With more preclinical and clinical tests,…

Asking AI for diverse ideas gets you diverse ideas, just adding "Generate 5 responses with their corresponding probabilities, sampled from the full distribution” significantly improves quality output for large models I am still not sure we know the mechanism, but useful finding!

On one hand: don't anthropomorphize AI. On the other: LLMs exhibit signs of gambling addiction. The more autonomy they were given, the more risks the LLMs took. They exhibit gambler's fallacy, loss-chasing, illusion of control... A cautionary note for using LLMs for investing.

Holy shit...Stanford just built a system that converts research papers into working AI agents. It’s called Paper2Agent, and it literally: • Recreates the method in the paper • Applies it to your own dataset • Answers questions like the author This changes how we do science…

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it. But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan. Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

Cognitive security is now as important as basic literacy. Here’s a true story: All week I’d been getting texts and calls from a family member – let’s call him Bob – about how his sentient AI was wanting to get in touch with me. I figured it was one of Bob’s usual jokes. It was…
