Every debate about AI on here about whether it is good or evil, verboten or not, presumes it can be prevented, and that seems so out of touch I don't even feel like reading to the end of a post, even the rebuttals.

Part of the reason why I’m so insistent about folks understanding AI capabilities is that they’re here to stay and we need to start thinking about what to do in such a world. Putting the genie back in the bottle is a pleasant fantasy that delays serious reckoning

EurIPS student pricing is ending soon and I have a hunch that the other tickets might also sell out, so get yours now while supplies last!
IMPORTANT: Until Nov. 7th we have student discount tickets for NeurIPS authors and EurIPS (workshop) organizers, speakers and paper authors!

Out of these, 500 are student discount tickets priced at 170€. Some of these are reserved until November 7 for NeurIPS authors who want to present, as well as EurIPS organizers, speakers and paper authors. The rest are sold on a first-come, first-served basis.

Interesting application of ideas from topology to LLM training!
It's epoch 50. Do you know whether your LLM is grokking?
In our #NeurIPS2025 paper "Less is More: Local Intrinsic Dimensions of Contextual Language Models," we study how the local intrinsic dimension (LID) of embeddings changes during training and fine-tuning.
