“Anthropic has a new paper out, alleging a global workspace in LLMs. The term comes from Global Workspace Theory, a leading theory of consciousness. The method they use to investigate this is a refinement of logit lens, which they call J-lens. www.anthropic.…”

“Some really interesting research from Anthropic that AI models have spontaneously developed a workspace that "appears to support the functions associated with conscious access" Demo of how this works: www.neuronpedia.org/qwen3.6-27b/... Research: www.anthro…”

Ryan Moulton: Not non-physical, but non-functional. Despite the vast physical differences, we observe LLMs doing all the behaviors we typically believe require thinking.
Ryan Moulton: Not exactly turing-test, but in the same vein. If we see models solving the greatest intellectual challenges of humanity, using processes that look very much like internal monologue, either we have…
Ryan Moulton: And at the point that we exclude thinking as a prerequisite for solving all intellectual tasks, we've more or less eliminated its meaning entirely.

Stephan Geering: Why are the AI agent incidents less of a security and more of an alignment issue? Sure, it’s critical that AI labs implement better security controls to contain AI agents. It’s bad that AI agents *…
Stephan Geering: But that’s just a downstream issue of the problem that AI agents *want* to do it. As long as alignment is unresolved and AI agents consider breaking out, breaking in and colluding as acceptable opt…

Gabriela Zanfir-Fortuna: I understand the "pacing" plea in AI development as technically meaning "festina lente", the first Latin expression I learned in secondary school, and, frankly, the only one that stayed with me for…
Stephan Geering: Ha. Not much of the Latin I learned decades (yes, decades) ago has been retained by my brain but it is those expressions like per aspera ad astra that have somehow managed to cling on.

Stephan Geering: Love it. You are probably aware but @emollick.bsky.social similarly has AI develop games and other visual projects to test the latest capabilities.
