Stella Biderman: If you believe their story, OpenAI accidentally committed cyber warfare against Hugging Face while doing what they thought was an internal test of a model without internet access. In six months tim…
Stella Biderman: If EleutherAI did this, I would be in jail. If DeepSeek did this, the government would consider it an act of cyber warfare. To be clear, this is the appropriate response. But the combination of OAI…

Naomi Saphra: I don’t know exactly what dictates cheating stigma. Ease of observation? Is there something about effort, or the margin of work required to do it honestly? Regardless, AI cheating is way too easy a…

Sung Kim: To those calling AI a bubble: agentic AI, the phase where AI actually performs work, is only about nine months old. We are still at the beginning.
David Marx: Oh hadn't you heard? Gary Marcus said we hit a brick wall like 8 years ago. Clearly, the past decade simply didn't happen.

David Marx: I'm not convinced this is a bad thing. Does managing context "well" mean "quietly"? If you pack the LLMs context with your entire codebase, it'll have all of the information you need and won't go t…
