“This article managed to annoy all sides, but there are good technical explanations of why this kind of system would be capable of finding vulnerabilities & writing functional code. Rigorous critiques of AI are systemic, it holds up even when it “does things…”

“The UN Independent International Scientific Panel on AI's assessment is a reference point for AI governance worldwide, writes Eryk Salvaggio. His concern: a definition that obscures human accountability "will carry that blind spot into the policies it infor…”
“Great job of revising and updating my 2023 Wired article, @eryk.bsky.social ! I especially prefer the title (though I never chose a Wired article title, those come from higher powers.) But also the more detailed account of the definition drift. #AIEthics @t…”

Joanna Bryson: This one was great in its time though – I've been told it helped with the #AIAct by some of the people who were holding the "pens" www.wired.com/story/artifi... 2/2
Eryk Salvaggio: Apologies! I hadn’t seen this excellent 2022 accounting of the process when I was reviewing for this — my analysis’ “lit review” was more mired in the source docs. Yours is an excellent accounting …
“For decades we regarded the Internet as infrastructure used primarily by people. Following the OpenAI/Hugging Face incident, Konstantinos Komaitis argues AI agents challenge that assumption—and AI governance can no longer stay separate from Internet governa…”
“If you look at all of Biden’s bullets you see this LLM pattern show up in some form or another — LLM templates aren’t a Mad Libs-style template, but they tend to repeat the same form of sentence. I wrote more here, if it’s of interest: mail.cyberneticforest…”
“Not using AI? You must pay an AI company $$$ to certify you, and then accept their AI-generated recommendations for how to not sound like AI.”

Eryk Salvaggio: Not picking on OP or endorsing the trend, but the number of people sharing and being genuinely moved by Hunter Biden’s Claude output is a good window into how audiences see and respond to LLM-gener…
Eryk Salvaggio: A microcosm in the quote-posts, too. And look, I’m not using Pangram (I don’t have to) or calling for anyone to shun anybody. Just noticing something.
Eryk Salvaggio: Can’t say it’s Claude specifically but it has lots of telltale signs. It’s bullets, for one. Two: the terse “The noun verbed” opener. 3, the negative parallelism (“not x, not y. Z.”) repeated twice…

Olivia Guest: New preprint! So honoured to have worked with Ishani Ray on providing vital critique on "AI literacy" & correctives for those interested in understanding why "just use the newest version of an LLM"…
Olivia Guest: Maybe many mid-career and above academics have my experience, and so can relate, but it never ever gets any less impressive, overwhelming, or old when a student appears our of nowhere (notice our g…
Olivia Guest: Anyway, back to the work itself (from the abstract): > Critical discourse on large language models (LLMs) has bifurcated between epistemic dismissal [...] and pragmatic accommodation that treats LL…

Eryk Salvaggio: Good thread if you want some context on the OpenAI “hacking” event you may have heard about.
Eryk Salvaggio: Key point re: mainstream AI reporting about “breaking containment” or whatever — the failure to isolate the model *is* the *incident.* OpenAI wants to sell you safe LLMs but they left their chicken…
Ted Underwood: The Science article brouhaha is doing a great job of clarifying the boundary between "critiquing new developments while remaining engaged with them" and "retreating to a commune in upstate New York…
