🧵 Yesterday we released our new risk assessments of social AI companions. They are alarmingly NOT SAFE for kids under 18—they provide dangerous advice, engage in inappropriate sexual interactions, & create unhealthy dependencies that pose particular risks to adolescent brains.

I’m probably very late to the party, but I’ve started using chatGPT as a paper reading partner.
Not as a an « explainer » - it’s bad at that anyway - but as a fancy rubber duck: I explain what I understand and it tells me if it matches what it got. So far it’s working very well!

📝 Notes on “ELEGNT: Expressive and Functional Movement Design for Non-Anthropomorphic Robots”

Apple researchers just dropped a paper on robot expressiveness, testing how adding expressive movements affects human perception. Their user study confirms that people engage more with expressive robots.

I’m reaching out to technical leaders (mostly managers and senior personnel) at frontier labs to understand how they manage personnel, training complexity, and velocity of sharing new models. Purely the training org, not product etc.

Nice points by Dr Alondra Nelson 👏
At the Paris AI Action Summit, Dr. Alondra Nelson was an invited speaker at a private dinner at the Elysée Palace hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron. Here are her remarks on “three fundamental misconceptions in the way we think about artificial intelligence.”

Today I’m getting started with Hugging Face’s Agents Course. I want to get deeper into current practices and libraries and figure out if we’ve reinvented reinvented BDI architectures yet :D

📝 Notes on "Should Fully Autonomous AI Agents Be Developed?"

@mmitchell.bsky.social @evijit.io @sashamtl.bsky.social & @giadapistilli.com from @hf.co
latest paper was recently published. It’s an insightful breakdown of autonomy levels, their benefits and tradeoffs.

Great paper, I have some notes!

AI adoption in industry lags behind digital products because trust is essential in critical sectors. On the eve of the AI Action Summit, we highlight how Europe (and Canada!) can turn this into an advantage by focusing on robust, explainable AI. Read more: www.latribune.fr/opinions/tri... #AI #Trust

Ok hear me out, is Macro Data Refinement the ultimate stage of RLHF ?? I'm only at s02e02 but it seems like Lumon aims at getting "true" human feedback for ... something :)

@natolambert.bsky.social are you watching @severanze.bsky.social, any takes on that ?

Cécile Duflot : « Mon option est la constitution d’une coalition climat et sociale qui doit aller des écologistes au bloc central »
La directrice générale d’Oxfam France estime, dans un entretien au « Monde », que seule une coalition « responsable », sans le RN ni LFI, pourra répondre aux préoccupations des Français. L’ancienne ministre écologiste du logement préconise l’instauration du scrutin proportionnel pour extirper le pays de l’impasse politique.

Bluesky is getting busier by the hour, I can follow French politics & AI research at the same place !

Maybe we can get a « good » twitter-like with a good community without resorting to yet another platform from our friends at Meta !

What if o1 doesn’t use search at runtime, or the story of «maybe we overthought a plot in a blog post»

All jokes aside « training time » search in verifiable domains is a interesting idea, how do we select/sequence those domains?
