Agency > Intelligence I had this intuitively wrong for decades, I think due to a pervasive cultural veneration of intelligence, various entertainment/media, obsession with IQ etc. Agency is significantly more powerful and significantly more scarce. Are you hiring for agency? Are

Yet another important milestone for Gemini #DeepThink in achieving gold🥇at #ICPC2025, the world's most prestigious college-level programming contest. Big congrats to everyone in this great achievement! Stay tuned for more to come from DeepThink ;)

We’re announcing a major advance in the study of fluid dynamics with AI 💧 in a joint paper with researchers from Brown University, New York University and Stanford University.

Mike Freedman (Fields Medalist) gave a beautiful talk at Harvard on The Shape of Mathematics and AI. It’s now on YouTube. Highly recommend watching! youtube.com/watch?v=f4NDXE…

Introducing Tinker: a flexible API for fine-tuning language models. Write training loops in Python on your laptop; we'll run them on distributed GPUs. Private beta starts today. We can't wait to see what researchers and developers build with cutting-edge open models!

From Karl Marx to Elon Musk, many have claimed that technology is a liberating force for good. But there is increasing challenge to this notion. | iai.tv/video/technolo… Join world-renowned economist Yanis Varoufakis, AI researcher Timothy Nguyen, and acclaimed writer

A beautiful paper from MIT+Harvard+ Google DeepMind 👏 Explains why Transformers miss multi digit multiplication and shows a simple bias that fixes it. The researchers trained two small Transformer models on 4-digit-by-4-digit multiplication. One used a special training method

GPT-5 Pro found a counterexample to the NICD-with-erasures majority optimality (Simons list, p.25). simons.berkeley.edu/sites/default/… At p=0.4, n=5, f(x) = sign(x_1-3x_2+x_3-x_4+3x_5) gives E|f(x)|=0.43024 vs best majority 0.42904.

Published my personal notes from interview prep at top AI labs like OpenAI, Anthropic, WorldLabs, etc, revisiting core concepts in large-scale ML design and optimization for efficient model training and inference. Hope it’s useful to others exploring and deep-diving into ML/LLMs

- Immigrates to US at 15 dirt-poor - Undergrad at Hudson Valley Community College & SUNY Albany - PhD at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign - NSF postdoc at Harvard ... Nobel Prize! A testament to the US education and research system and the US would be poorer without it!

Sabine Hossenfelder has officially cited Eric Weinstein's Geometric Unity in her latest paper. It's only proper that entertainers cite other entertainers:

As AI systems grow more powerful in solving problems, expertise will increasingly shift towards knowing which problems are the important and interesting ones to solve. And that has always been where the greatest difficulty lies. If you were transported back to the time of Newton

Dear Ed, let’s bury the hatchet with our disagreements over Eric Weinstein and work things out together - constructively and in good-faith. Since you’ll be coming to London in December, I would love to discuss the details of Geometric Unity as you understand them - grand

Update: Mehtaab and I pushed further on this. Using thousands of GPT5 queries, we found solutions to 10 Erdős problems that were listed as open: 223, 339, 494, 515, 621, 822, 883 (part 2/2), 903, 1043, 1079. Additionally for 11 other problems, GPT5 found significant partial

My posts last week created a lot of unnecessary confusion*, so today I would like to do a deep dive on one example to explain why I was so excited. In short, it’s not about AIs discovering new results on their own, but rather how tools like GPT-5 can help researchers navigate,

Are neural networks Turing complete? This excellent blogpost by colleague Hessam Akhlaghpour goes carefully over the limitations and flaws of much of the literature for the case of transformers: lifeiscomputation.com/transformers-a… Note that the first proofs of Turing completeness (to my knowledge)
