"As I see it, Prince has badly misread an author whose understanding of business (at least in the book he cites; I haven’t read everything by Drucker) provides a radically different alternative to the standard Silicon Valley CEO narrative." www.programmablemutter.com/p/ai-isnt…

🚨New dataset just dropped🚨 Introducing Places in the Wild: 67,000 RAW-format photographs (45 mpix) densely sampled from 810 places (260 basic-level categories). This is 11x the number of pixels in ImageNet! Preprint is here: arxiv.org/abs/2606.02481 1/
well, lo, people have built a benchmark using a task called multi-armed bandit, where success depends on iteratively grasping the relative odds of payouts from different choices, and LLMs are (generally) shit at it arxiv.org/pdf/2403.15371 /

this, posted elsewhere in these sprawling threads, is very interesting on the topic of what emotional representations exist in frontier models and what they might mean: www.thetransmitter.org/emotion/what...
One possible interpretation of the Mythos/Fable ban is that it is part of a shakedown for a substantial pre-IPO equity stake in Anthropic. x.com/DoWCIODavies...
as promised here is the paper comparing LLMs to human results; I haven't gone through it carefully enough to vouch for the methodology and for various reasons I have my suspicions about how robust it'll be but it's certainly conceptually interesting: arxiv.org/pdf/2505.09901

Whether you’re a denialist or a booster or just someone trying to be objective, Salesforce is going to give us some pretty clear answers as to whether radically shifting resources from human coders to AI will work.
“In response to four questions – where the ads were running, whether the group considered labeling the content as AI, if the video was based on a true story and who was funding the ads – [Richmond Civic League founder Marty Jewell] responded with a 1,116-word email focusing on…
Last night it occured to me to wond er if LLMs were any good at gambling tasks. This is important not because it'd be funny for LLMs to gamble but because gambling tasks get used to measure human decision-making under risk /
my new opinion is we should ban the sale of anything that currently gets called 'AI' and also ban use of the term specifically so I shut up about it
All the "will 'AI' replace the humanities" shit is so boring, why aren't we trying to supplant random academic fields with other useful coding tools? Metasploit is going to replace comp lit. We'll be doing historical musicology with linters. Let's go
the story about data center investment vastly outstripping investment in public transportation is a story about capital markets and government and doesn't actually have anything to do with 'AI' as such, people get that, yeah?
You know what would be a fun thing to look at is the correlation between “AI will take all the jobs GET READY”-style marketing and “TAKE jobs no no it’s a great productivity tool” as it became clear to all that it was hopeless at female-coded empathetic/creative work and good at male-coded sw eng
listen, I try not to prejudge this stuff too hard because I think it's important for me, at least, to have my skepticism rooted in up-to-date knowledge but "Robinhood offers in-app agentic trading to its users" is one hell of an alarming sentence
Man, the ridiculous bullshit that people will believe about the ‘AI’ industry bums me out, it’s like the left-coded version of the right’s “all cities are dangerous hellholes”. Resist, resist by all means, but don’t let yourself be grifted insensate by charlatans and comforting lies.
