Grok suddenly developing a liking for Hitler might be explained by him being trained on more right-wing data, which accidentally activated it in him.
Similar things happen in open research too.
For example you just need the model to be trained on insecure code, and in it's persona features (1/2)

Sean Carroll x Eric Weinstein is fascinating. I think Sean's responses were nice, and Eric dodged so many questions from Sean that asked him to make his theory of everything in physics more scientifically valid, it's fascinating tactics form Erik to dodge reality checks. (1/n)

My favorite usecase of AI is for discovering new physics. We're still in infancy there. But we're getting there, slowly but surely.

I just uploaded a 6 hour YouTube video about intelligence, AI, AGI, brain, physics, math, STEM, cognitive science, philosophy, complexity, foundations, consciousness, futurology, transdisciplinarity, philosophy, transhumanism, technology and everything!

Llama 4 is a disappointment so far. Too big to run on smaller hardware. Tiny improvement over previous models on benchmarks but its much bigger model. Reporting worse long context comprehension, coding, etc. I now understand why Meta went panic mode when DeepSeek-R1 was released.

Llama 4 wins over even the latest DeepSeek-V3 base model on these classic benchmarks, so it's probably the best base model out there right now, and it's soon open source

There is so much AI research emerging in thinking in latent space and implementations of better memory. My prediction is that those will be the next two scalable breakthroughs in algorithmic improvement.

I wonder if they'll do a RL reasoning model over this relatively stronger base model compared to GPT-4o, if it will overshoot other models in terms of STEM+reasoning or not.
Compounding different scaling laws.

How can AI help physicists search for new particles?
The ATLAS and CMS collaborations are using state-of-the-art machine learning techniques to search for exotic-looking collisions that could indicate new physics

A lot of researchers think that the "stolen data" claim cope from OpenAI that everyone is now taking at face value is pretty unlikely.
Deepseek R1's original paper shows how they're using pure reinforcement learning via GPRO. This is different from previous approaches which human or AI data.

New Google's Titans AI architecture is better at long context thanks to better memory mechanism.
"Our experimental results on language modeling, common-sense reasoning, genomics, and time series tasks show that Titans are more effective than Transformers and recent modern linear recurrent models."
