Hello! We are researchers from Carnegie Mellon University. We are looking for mental health professionals or end users who have sought mental health support from LLM-based products to participate in a survey and workshop study. (Details in flyer) Sign-up: forms.gle/AHniGREb1PuXng…
Excited to share our beta release of Music Arena, a live evaluation platform for state-of-the-art AI music generation models! 🎧 Listen to the latest models and 🗳️ vote for your favorite ⚔️ music-arena.org ⭐️ github.com/gclef-cmu/musi… 📜 arxiv.org/abs/2507.20900
Excited to announce 🎵Magenta RealTime, the first open weights music generation model capable of real-time audio generation with real-time control. 👋 **Try Magenta RT on Colab TPUs**: colab.research.google.com/github/magenta… 👀 Blog post: g.co/magenta/rt 🧵 below
Our study highlighting plagiarism concerns in AI-generated research is now accepted to ACL (main conference): arxiv.org/abs/2502.16487. Effort led by amazing @tarungupta360. Will share other accepted papers soon. Stay tuned 🙂
Remember this study about how LLM generated research ideas were rated to be more novel than expert-written ones? We find a large fraction of such LLM generated proposals (≥ 24%) to be skillfully plagiarized, bypassing inbuilt plagiarism checks and unsuspecting experts. A 🧵
🏳️🌈🎨💻📢 Not on here much anymore, but happy to share our workshop study on queer artists’ experiences critically engaging with GenAI Looking forward to presenting this work at #FAccT2025 and you can read a pre-print here: arxiv.org/abs/2503.09805
In a preview of EMPIRE OF AI for @TheAtlantic, I share new behind-the-scenes details on what happened when OpenAI’s board fired Sam Altman—as well as the core argument of my book and why it matters to everyone. Gift link. theatlantic.com/technology/arc…
Five hours after our AI research story published — we reached out to all the AI labs 1-2 weeks beforehand — OpenAI pledged it would release safety test results more often & launched a webpage showing how its models score on tests for harmful content. cnbc.com/2025/05/14/met…
Q: What do school buses, desktop computers, and AI have in common? A: The same decades-old laws and processes apply when governments go to purchase them. Our new #FAccT2025 paper examines how these legacy public procurement norms apply to AI. 🧵

You don't need to attempt to revitalize NFTs when companies can just NOT steal.
"[AI agents] are threatening to break the blood-brain barrier between the application layer and the OS layer." Signal President Meredith Whittaker (@mer__edith) warns of "real danger" in agentic AI hype. To be "magic genie bots" (concert booking etc.), they need root access to…
I don't think people realize how incredible it is that a movie rendered in nearly real-time in free software on a single computer just won the Oscar for best animated film. If there was ever any proof you don't need AI, this is it.
Flow was made entirely with Blender and rendered in real time with EEVEE. We didn't use a renderfarm. The final render was done on my PC. There was no compositing, all the colors were tweaked and adjusted using shaders.
With the market & AI mythos reeling post-DeepSeek, it seems like a good time to reup this year-old paper, on the perils of the "bigger is better" approach to AI, coauthored with @SashaMTL + @GaelVaroquaux arxiv.org/abs/2409.14160
In every paper on LLM attacks/jailbreaks, there are subtly different experimental setups. s.t. each one basically has its own unique operationalization of "jailbreak" and "ASR". People are usually much too quick to make poor apples-to-apples comparisons between papers.
It's objectively funny to see DeepSeek — an open source, high performing AI model trained by a Chinese startup for less than $6 million — wipe $1 trillion off tech stocks only days after Trump, OpenAI, and SoftBank announce their $500 billion Stargate boondoggle.
AI agents are coming. But who's in control? @mmitchell_ai, one of the best researchers in AI ethics, makes a critical point about autonomy: fully autonomous systems carry unknowable risks because they operate on computer logic rather than human logic. The solution? Build…
Deregulating nuclear power plants? What's the worst that could happen, it's just bureaucracy. Surely nothing bad ever happened in one.
“the green new deal is expensive” ok you know what else is expensive the entire country burning the fuck down
Hey remember 10-15 years ago when they used to throw people in jail if they pirated films to make an example out of them? Turns out, totally fine for "AI" companies.
New allegations: Meta didn't just download "pirated copyrighted material... for use in its commercially available AI models", they even shared it with peers once they were done downloading (seeding). 🏴☠️ Why would they do that? Out of courtesy? 🙉 wired.com/story/new-docu…
