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 Companies Are Buying Antique Books, Ingesting Their Contents to Train Models, and Then Destroying Them at Incredible Scale, Even If Almost No Copies Remain futurism.com
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?
