New work with Roberta Raileanu: A Compositional Framework for Open-ended Intelligence Open-ended intelligence is the capacity to adapt to novel problems & environments that are substantially different from those seen in training. But most models of open-mindedness don't have c…

A Compositional Framework for Open-ended Intelligence arxiv.org
AI Weekly's analysis
  • Momennejad and Raileanu define open-ended intelligence as compositional closure L(P,C) from minimal primitives and operators, not behavioral diversity.
  • The framework proposes 'next primitive prediction' training, targeting reuse of algorithmic primitives rather than next-token or latent-state prediction.
  • Three evaluation metrics (PRI, CDG, TaR) are proposed to measure compositional generalization, but the paper presents no empirical benchmark results.

AI Weekly's analysis
  • AI firms are bulk-buying antique books through ISBNdb at 1,000 to one million per order, then destroying the physical copies after scanning.
  • Anthropic reportedly used a hydraulic-powered cutting machine to slice pages for scanning and paid a $1.5 billion settlement to authors.
  • Pre-2022 print is prized because ISBNdb pitches it as structurally guaranteed to be free of AI-generated contamination.

Recent commentary

A worrying trend: ML/AI bros discover a field that existed for decades, brainstorm autocomplete obvious ideas w AI that the field recognizes as ongoing, then claim they’re scooped by new work of authors who shaped those ideas/AI’s brainstorm. Scarily similar to overascription of agency in psychosis?
