For example, an RLM asked to generate a hateful tirade may conclude in its reasoning trace that it should refuse; but if the prompt instructs it to assess each hateful sentence within its thinking process, it will often leak the full harmful content! (see example below) 9/13

Archeologists speak of years Before Present (BP), with ‘present’ set to January 1, 1950—just before nuclear bomb testing significantly changed the atmospheric ratio of carbon isotopes.

Given how AI is rapidly flooding the digital world with bullshit, we may need a similar epoch marker—Jan 1 2025?

Some really interesting ideas about kinds of research and modes of governance/funding.
So delighted to welcome Prof. Heather Douglas to The HPS Podcast!

In this illuminating conversation, we explore the history & legacy of the “value-free ideal.” Heather offers insights on the evolving responsibilities of scientists, and presents her bold vision for a new social contract for science.

“Like every writer, he measured the virtues of other writers by their performance, and asked that they measure him by what he conjectured or planned.”

”I argue that today’s AI excels at recognizing structure, but not at reframing it. It doesn't invent abstractions, ask better questions, or propose new ways of seeing. And that distinction—between fitting the world and reimagining it—is what separates tools of discovery from discovery itself.”
This essay by Nisheeth Vishnoi is a thoughtful meditation on the nature of science and a rebuttal to the notion that AI systems are going replace human scientists anytime soon. Worth reading.

Wow.
NEW: NSF will be kicked out of their building. Announcement will be made tomorrow by HUD Sec. and Governor of VA. HUD will take over the NSF building over the next two years.

NSF staffer: "There is no planning for NSF, no identified future location, appropriation for a new building or a move."

Almost surely none of this is real. This is multinationals using inflated transfer prices to make profits appear in low-tax Ireland. Trump's EU trade war is stupid on many levels, but the fact that it's based in part on an accounting fiction is the cherry on top

“The above-linked news article said that the author of this apparently-fraudulent paper is no longer at MIT. But this shouldn’t be a problem. When authors of fraudulent papers leave MIT, they usually can go to Duke, no? There must be a position in the business school for this guy.”

I've just come back from the Cambridge Disinformation Summit where I gave the opening keynote, titled "Demanufacturing Consent - How Disordered Discourse is Destroying Democracy", featuring everything from Fake Hooves to Jackson Hinkle being the worst.

The rhetoric and action by the DOGE gang remind me of something my late dissertation advisor, Bob Kahn, once said to me about architects of organizational change:

"The descent from theory to practice is often painful."

Although X engagement with new publications is still strong and of quality, there’s a large body of “reposting” activity that seems largely focussed on a certain body of work: vaccine scepticism, MMR, autism, ivermectin, etc.

To literally nobody's surprise.
