Tom McCoy: 🤖🧠NEW PAPER🧠🤖 (The result of an 8-year project!) LLMs seem very different from symbolic systems. Yet LLMs excel in symbolic domains (e.g., language/code/math). How do they do it? Our finding: LLM r…
Tom McCoy: Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2608.29530 We consider a variety of neural networks that perform seemingly-symbolic tasks, from small-scale models trained on simple list-manipulation tasks to LLMs performing …
Tom McCoy: Our hypothesis: The networks succeed on these tasks by implicitly building symbolic structure in vector space. What makes this hypothesis testable is the Tensor Product Representation (TPR) formali…

Naomi Saphra: Yes, some people are worse at writing than an LLM. Those people are also usually incoherent thinkers. If they learned to write better, they would get better at thinking.

Lionel: Not sure what to make of it.
Shubhendu Trivedi: They aim to be the numero uno open model provider and server in the US. You soon will see a much bigger open model in the nemo series. Makes sense from that POV to have some inroads in the space, a…

Andrea Lathrop: My assessment of the OpenAI/HuggingFace incident is still that 1) they trained the system to do exactly this, and then 2) were utterly careless when putting the system in a situation to do exactly …
Shubhendu Trivedi: IMO it was an over-eager reward hacked system. These systems are kind of incentivized to do specific tasks by any means, and in the process they can discover and exploit vulnerabilities, which were…
