Patty Delafuente & Arya Honraopatil's paper "Does Reasoning Help LLM Agents Play Dungeons and Dragons? A Prompt Engineering Experiment" looks at using reasoning models like DeepSeek for generating actions of D&D players based on game state. Turns out this isn't something models can reason about!

Inspired by @wimlds.bsky.social , I looked for a "Women in Machine Learning" starter pack and couldn't find one.
So I created one! May have some mistakes. I'll try to do an AI ethics one next. 🤗

AI hype is making AI researchers forget painfully learned lessons core to the field.

There's an emerging cope that progress in capabilities isn't slowing down—it's just invisible as benchmarks are saturated; vibe checks are useless because models are now superhuman so we can't perceive improvement.

Today I presented my MSc. work "Exploring approaches to Improvisational Interactive Storytelling" in the student seminar.

I narrated a basic setting and used a dice to explain the gamemastering mechanisms to the committee ☺️

OK, now I have to write my thesis! 😅

I think I will talk about why the next big challenge in AI game playing should be Dungeons and Dragons 🧙🐉

It’s unlikely there are hundreds of people asking how to implement breadth-first search for legitimate reasons.

Even more unlikely that hundreds of people suddenly want to know this in early September and late January and no other time of the year.

Also, they are moving here because Musk made twitter bad, not by forcing people to read tweets they disagree with, but by allowing users to game the algorithm to flood replies with garbage tweets, and by essentially removing the block function

10. Posters are often better than orals. I personally only watch oral talks online rather than sitting through the sessions. In my experience posters are a much better use of time.

Six years ago, Georgios Yannakakis and I published a textbook on AI and Games. It has been used in universities across the world and become a standard reference for the field. Much has happened since, and it is about time for a second edition. Good news: we just put a draft online!

Este EP de Hadar (2010) 🇺🇾 tiene varios momentos inolvidables.

Es increíble la calidad de esas melodías, especialmente en las dos últimas pistas. Pena que seamos país de pocos y, por ende, con poca difusión.

Hadar merecía más 🔝

In the political context of calls for "Mass Deportation Now" by the Republican Party at its national convention, we thought it was important for us to witness what had happened when the state's power is turned against its people. We had previously seen memorials in Uruguay, which had similar events
