This is worth tuning in for!

New Post: Powerless Predictions There's a disconnect in frontier AI policy: Sophisticated predictive models fail to effectively inform policy development & political strategy. If you're so smart about what'll happen, why aren't you winning? 🧵

📍New in Tech Policy Press: Neil Kleiman and Eric Gordon on how it's time to flip the script and break the government’s stranglehold on information. Rather than centralize power, let’s use AI to distribute it. 🖇️Read the full article: techpolicy.press/doge-is-using-…

We need tech companies that protect our attention instead of competing for it.

Introducing AlphaEvolve: a Gemini-powered coding agent for algorithm discovery. It’s able to: 🔘 Design faster matrix multiplication algorithms 🔘 Find new solutions to open math problems 🔘 Make data centers, chip design and AI training more efficient across Google. 🧵

What if LLMs could find fundamentally new solutions to hard problems? AlphaEvolve is an evolutionary coding agent built on top of Gemini for scientific discoveries. 🧵👇 🔵 Matrix Multiplication Re-invented (0:00) 🔵 AlphaEvolve's Architecture (3:08) 🔵 Math to Google's Core

AI can't generate new scientific knowledge, they said. AI can't be creative, they said. It only interpolates, they said....

You can just take academic papers and paste them into Gemini 2.5/ChatGPT o3/Claude 4 with the prompt "build me a game based on this paper, make it interesting and thematic but still conveying key findings" and get a tiny working educational game. (In this case, I used Gemini)

A lovely conversation between Scott Page and Philip Ball on collective intelligence, biology, evolution and life. Recommended! journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/26…

We at AI Security Institute worked with OpenAI to test & improve Agent’s safeguards prior to release. A few notes on our experience🧵 1/4

ChatGPT can now do work for you using its own computer. Introducing ChatGPT agent—a unified agentic system combining Operator’s action-taking remote browser, deep research’s web synthesis, and ChatGPT’s conversational strengths.

*Diffusion Models are Evolutionary Algorithms* by Yanbo Zhang Michael Levin et al. They develop novel evolutionary algorithms based on an analogy between mutation / natural selection and the forward / reverse processes in diffusion models. arxiv.org/abs/2410.02543

As ChatGPT becomes a go-to tool for students, we’re committed to ensuring it fosters deeper understanding and learning. Introducing study mode in ChatGPT — a learning experience that helps you work through problems step-by-step instead of just getting an answer.

Those who intuit something is lacking in LLMs struggle to pinpoint the gap beyond inadequate metaphors like “stochastic parrot” or “glorified autocomplete.” What you’re groping for is fractured entangled representation (FER). That’s the concrete crux of your slippery intuitions.

🎉Congratulations to Burnes Center and GovLab Director Beth Simone Noveck for being highlighted in govtechnews's Center for Public Sector AI 50, alongside The GovLab. Read the full article here: govtech.com/cpsai/ai50?fbc…

Introducing a new type of civic tech made possible by AI. Every citizen should have a live, systems view of their government and today we bring that to SF! Track gov entities, spending, news, and more in real time. With LLMs, we can bring this to every city. Who's next?
