This graphic of Trump’s cuts to NASA’s research fleet is insane. Why do this? Who wants this? Who was complaining we were exploring space too much? The only principle seems to be “if it can’t go directly into Trump or Musk’s own pockets, dump it in the trash.”

Looking forward to speaking today at Harvard’s Kempner Institute at Harvard University NeuroAI conference on theories of learning, creativity and reasoning. Looks like a great set of speakers. Virtual attendance is possible: kempnerinstitute.harvard.edu/frontiers-in-n…

NEW: Mason Kamb (Mason Kamb @ICML) from Stanford University presents a predictive theory of combinatorial creativity in diffusion models. Watch the video: youtu.be/DP_kGt0-2cg #NeuroAI2025 #AI #ML #NeuroAI

Excited to have had this opportunity to talk about the mechanistic origins of diffusion model creativity Kempner Institute at Harvard University last Friday!

generational theft won't lead to productive mining or logging, won't make a dent in the deficit, will only render vast swaths of land--including right up the Hood River watershed or the Yosemite Valley foothills--that will never be accessible to the public again

In a recent paper, physicists used two predictable factors to reproduce the “creativity” seen from image-generating AI. Webb Wright reports: quantamagazine.org/researchers-un…

A great Quanta Magazine article on our theory of creativity in convolutional diffusion models lead by Mason Kamb. See also our paper with new results in version 2: arxiv.org/abs/2412.20292 to be presented as an oral at ICML Conference #icml25 thx Webb Wright !

Can image-generating AI models really be "creative"? Or is there something deeper at play? My latest for Quanta Magazine: x.com/QuantaMagazine…

I'm at ICML presenting this work! Come by on Tuesday to hear about/chat about combinatorial generalization and creativity in diffusion models. x.com/MasonKamb/stat…
