Definitely tracking this effort in the context of red-teaming. Their approach is a great example of the next evolution in this space as agents open up an entire new attack vector.

So proud of Hinton for speaking up. Science and funding for science matters. Many amazing developments in our own field, computer science, and advances in AI are thanks to grants.

At a minimum, organizations should be documenting Model Cards like this (first introduced by @mmitchell.bsky.social 's paper several years ago)

I had a fascinating conversation with a Christian MAGA supporter on my flight back from a conference. We had a lot in common as big sci-fi nerds.

But he also said the world is flat (where does it end then?) and in the nicest way possible told me that I'm going to hell, along with the "homosexuals"

A fun art style I tried exploring further in an attempt to convey the fading nature of memory. No AI here - all errors are my own.

Still processing everything from @neuripsconf.bsky.social 2024!

One award-winning paper I liked was "Not All Tokens Are What You Need for Pretraining". Their approach demonstrates the potential for more data-efficient LLM training.

Extremely disappointed by the keynote here at @neuripsconf.bsky.social. When given a chance graciously by the audience member during Q&A if the reason for calling out the Chinese was because this was an exception, the speaker said no it's because the Chinese don't learn morals and values in schools.
At #NeurIPS2024, the keynote speaker perpetuated explicit racist stereotypes against Chinese students. Generalizations against a community subject to discrimination, even as an “example”, further provokes discrimination. Below, video of an audience member’s perfect response.

Great talk by Ilya Sutskevar at @neuripsconf.bsky.social 2024. Pre-training as we know it will end.

Compute is growing: better hardware, algorithms, and larger clusters.

Data is not growing: there's only one Internet, and data is the fossil fuel of AI.
