Geoffrey Hinton LLMs obviously have *some* understanding of what they read and generate. But this understanding is very limited and superficial. Otherwise, they wouldn't confabulate so much and wouldn't make mistakes that are contrary to common sense. I have argued, since at least 2016, that AI

But seriously folks, this a short and juicy tirade in which I say: (0) there will be superhuman AI in the future (1) they will be under our control (2) they will not dominate us nor kill us (3) they will mediate all of our interactions with the digital world (4) hence, they will

Popping this up: a response to a question about what I consider reasoning & planning, why current Auto-Regressive LLMs can't do it, why that would require AI systems with world models, and why we still have a lot of progress to do towards AI systems that can learn and reason.

I am in Copenhagen at ACM CCS 2025 this week and will be presenting our work on the new learning-based tool “Lanturn” in the Smart Contract Security session. Come say hi if you are around! Paper : eprint.iacr.org/2023/1338 Code : github.com/lanturn-defi/l…

This iconic photograph is still considered one of the most-terrifying space photographs to date. Astronaut Bruce McCandless II became the first human being to do a spacewalk without a safety tether linked to a spacecraft.

💯 In a recent short talk (starts at 41:25) I argued that the panic about generative AI and misinfo arises from experts' denial about the fact that people know what they're doing and that our epistemic institutions have failed. piirs.princeton.edu/events/2023/fr… cs.princeton.edu/~arvindn/talks…

I trained Chess-GPT, a 50M parameter LLM, to play at 1500 ELO. We can visualize its internal state of the board. In addition, to better predict the next character it estimates the ELO of the players involved. 🧵

Here is a cheatsheet for simple manipulations of arrays in a Poly-IOP system. It is the kind of thing that is obvious once you understand it but if you are learning for the first time, a chart like this is helpful hopefully.

As long as AI systems are trained to reproduce human-generated data (e.g. text) and have no search/planning/reasoning capability, performance will saturate below or around human level. Furthermore, the amount of trials needed to reach that level will be far larger than the

Fun memories.

Highly recommend the crypto book "Pragmatic MPC" which has clear explanations with minimal formality and is short enough (~150 pages) that you don't get bogged down in the middle. Wish we had more "pragmatic" books for other areas of crypto. securecomputation.org
