An interesting analysis of how cooking shows reinforce conservative gender stereotypes by creating conflicts that portray traditional women as heroes and those who deviate from these norms as villains.

An AI model (Llama 3.1 70B) fine-tuned on the results of 60,000 people in psychology experiments shows some real promise in using LLMs for studying human behavior. It predicts actual human behavior in held-out data & it generalizes to out-of-distribution tasks and experiments.

❓Why do the Nordics & Dutch speak English so much better than the Germans, Italians & French? ➡️New Working Paper: Out-of-School Learning: Subtitling vs. Dubbing and the Acquisition of Foreign-Language Skills w/ F. Baumeister & E. Hanushek nber.org/papers/w33984 A🧵1/12

Non consensual deepfakes have always been a concern but they've been getting realllyy good with the recent LoRA methods This paper looks at a platform that hosts such finetuned LoRA models & shows how it disproportionately targets women (not just celebs) arxiv.org/abs/2505.03859

Hey Pasquale Minervini why can't you be like this

Dunno if Grok 4 is really that good but I'm wondering, was the Grok shootshow yesterday a viral campaign😂

Tokenization has been the final barrier to truly end-to-end language models. We developed the H-Net: a hierarchical network that replaces tokenization with a dynamic chunking process directly inside the model, automatically discovering and operating over meaningful units of data

I didn't want to post on Grok safety since I work at a competitor, but it's not about competition. I appreciate the scientists and engineers at xAI but the way safety was handled is completely irresponsible. Thread below.

"How Many Instructions Can LLMs Follow at Once?" In this paper they found that leading LLMs can satisfy only about 68% of 500 concurrent instructions, showing a bias toward earlier instructions.

yOu Do Nt nEEd a PhD tbe an AI rschr :S:S:S

Nice AI drama

I asked Gemini how squid game should have ended. It gaslighted me by saying there is no Squid Game season 3, then described "the fictional final" which is exactly the same as the real final weird hallucination🧐

holy claude, that's cool!

“We must ensure that free speech flourishes in the era of AI and that AI procured by the Federal government objectively reflects truth rather than social engineering agendas…. eliminate references to misinformation, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and climate change.” Hmmmmm

In the US in this week alone we've got a ramp up of authoritarian consolidation and cultural engineering. Everywhere from universities to sports teams I draw attention to entertainment media spaces in which those processes happen. Like cooking shows. buff.ly/5bezcnG
