New paper: We measure *situational awareness* in LLMs, i.e. a) Do LLMs know they are LLMs and act as such? b) Are LLMs aware when they’re deployed publicly vs. tested in-house? If so, this undermines the validity of the tests! We evaluate 19 LLMs on 16 new tasks 🧵

USCIS just denied my US green card application. claiming my work lacks impact "beyond that of Apple, Inc." -- even though they acknowledge that I am the Apple CTO. WTF? I have NEVER worked at Apple! I got my cs PhD, cofounded an AI startup, and raised $20M. Yet, after waiting

Yuchen Jin This is insane 🤦‍♂️ I was denied an exceptional ability green card after selling my first Internet company, Zip2, for over $300M in cash within 4 years of finishing my undergrad, and where I was the founder, chairman & CTO! They only gave it to me after PayPal.

I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again: not using AI-especially in medical diagnostics or in screenings like the one below-has now become completely unethical & unacceptable. MDs who reject this because it isn’t “standard care”are liable in failing to properly care for patients!

Anyone else found that cardio is fantastic for #coding in your head? 1 hour on the elliptical thinking through a feature I wanted to build 2 minutes dictating my thoughts to Cursor 3 - feature works, tests pass 💥

This aired tonight to 1 billion people in China. A year ago these robots could barely wave a handkerchief, now they can do backflips and kung fu with nunchucks. Physical intelligence is the next frontier.

It is hard to communicate how much programming has changed due to AI in the last 2 months: not gradually and over time in the "progress as usual" way, but specifically this last December. There are a number of asterisks but imo coding agents basically didn’t work before December
