And here I was thinking that Claude was starting to get me, lol

If you have more than even a passing interest in AI, watching this talk is more important than whatever it is you are currently doing. There’s a lot of cybersec jargon at times but I don’t think you need to know anything about security to understand what’s important. youtu.be/87DyyMV0kCY https://youtu.be/87DyyMV0kCY

Never forget that you live in a bubble and the world is full of people wanting to turn your every invention into a weapon to create dystopia. Opposing this is a fundamental ethical responsibility of any AI researcher. https://reason.com/2026/07/28/minority-report-fbi-seeks-ai-for-political-watch-list/

Got a pretty hilarious warning from Google T&S today @defcon.bsky.social @aivillage.bsky.social There’s actually nothing that should flag this, it’s just screenshots, images, and text and none of it is about phishing. My talk was about model stealing though APIs.

These concerns are very much not hypothetical. In 2024 a private benchmark called FrontierMath developed by a third party called Epoch came out. We later learned that OpenAI funded the creation of the benchmark and while nobody else had the test Qs, OAI did. https://ai-frontiers.org/articles/dont-let-ai-developers-hire-their-own-referees

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 time will be obvious they’re faced effectively no sanction for this.

This is a illegal. The admin cannot do this. This is also deeply immoral: Trump is killing people because he doesn’t like their governors. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Whenever I interact with an academic discipline outside of AI and Theoretical Computer Science, I am rapidly reminded how few problems I face for being trans in AI. Thank y’all <3

When I was in middle school (late 2000s), I was very interested in mathematics. I thought that the validity of the proof of the 4-color theorem was disputed in mathematics and was shocked when I learned about FLT, but I knew that humans would never beat an AI at chess ever again

Today I met someone at arXiv who said they were a huge fan of the Pile. I assume at some point one gets used to your idols being fans of your work, but six years in I still haven't.

An updated guide to where you can find @eleutherai.bsky.social at #ICML2025! We have a lot going on, including an oral presentation tomorrow (Tuesday) where I’m going to be talking about my scientific research agenda. Come say hi to us!

Claude code is stenographically marking location information in its prompt to help Anthropic profile users by where they (appear to) be located https://thereallo.dev/blog/claude-code-prompt-steganography

I’m walking back from an AI event to my hotel and I look up and see a rock climbing gym called “Benchmark.” Is this what living in SF is like?

This is a crazy good article about AI and environmental impacts: https://blog.andymasley.com/p/a-cheat-sheet-for-conversations-about By @andymasley.bsky.social

The ability of tech co. to produce "intelligent" systems that are incompetent at doing any of the tasks I actually want them to do is mind-boggling. TIL that ChatGPT and Claude generally don't agree when you give them two papers and ask how many citations they have in common.

In film, "we'll fix it in post" is what you say when something went wrong on set and you don't want to redo it. AI research has made it our entire methodology: train the model, then patch whatever comes out. Our new ICML oral argues this can't be the basis of a science of AI. 🧵

I had given Anthropic a lot of credit for turning down the DoD and its trillions of dollars, especially as it seemed to be the only example of any AI company making any financial sacrifices for moral principles. Of course, it turns out to be not really true. https://www.axios.com/2026/04/19/nsa-anthropic-mythos-pentagon

"[W]hen these goods remain concentrated in the hands of a few, without adequate forms of sharing and access, a new imbalance is created that contradicts the universal destination of goods" Very cool to see the Pope endorsing @eleutherai.bsky.social's mission

Congrats guys! Racism is over, so now it’s legal to draw congressional districts to systematically disenfranchise black people.

My hot take is that the median social system breaks under too much optimization pressure, and we should stop trying to optimize things [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Excited to be on my way to @iclr-conf.bsky.social! Come stop by our posters and hit me up. I'm especially excited to talk about - Open weight safety - Training dynamics and interpretability over time - Memorization and machine unlearning - Open data - Rigorous experimental design [contains quote post or other embedded content]

FISA 207 is blatantly illegal and immoral and has always been obviously so. Republicans are pretending to not know this, just like Democrats did during the Biden administration. This is bipartisan evil.
