@brandeisuniversity.bsky.social and @chip.org alum making a big impact with his research!
Super proud of @shan23chen.bsky.social for his podium presentation on his research into LLM sycophancy in the face of illogical medical queries at #AMIA25!

I always thought if I could meet Dr King, the first thing I would ask him is, "what did you have for breakfast?"
This seems fake but it's completely real: Audio of Seattle's current Mayor dreaming of a giant computer-simulated Martin Luther King, something the King family has explicitly asked people not to do.
Big thanks to Erica Barnett for being the only reporter in town covering these events so closely!

Historic preservation is confusing. In Seattle, we conferred permanent landmark status to a Walgreen’s drive-thru.

Zak ignored one possibility for solving the peer review problem - publish fewer papers! If we use AI to streamline both authorship and review, the deluge of papers will just get worse. At some point we will just be writing papers for machines to read. Maybe that's ok! But we should be intentional.
#ZakKohane on #AI in #PeerReview: the surge in scientific publication is straining the conventional review system beyond capacity. @ai.nejm.org piloting AI-augmented fast track review: manuscripts w high prior of being good gets assigned to #GPT5 + a human, disposition reviewed by editorial team!

Great presentation by Ian Bulovic, a data scientist in my lab who led this work. He got a lot of really good questions in the qa - I hope to have some offline discussions with folks at #prc10 at the next coffee break!

Interesting presentations in the morning session at #prc10! I think a lot of concerns about LLM-assisted authorship are addressed by greater transparency, e.g. tracking the provenance of each sentence in a document, like this approach: share.google/mgM4e1nlm5By...

Guess which one of these vehicles has a motor that prevents it from going too fast for the safety of others?

Ironically there seems to be a dip around Labor Day.
September 12 is the most common birthday in America because it is the peak of the baby season but also people would rather not schedule c-sections or inducements for September 11th.

This was exactly the paper I didn't realize I needed in my life, highly recommended!
Even as an interpretable ML researcher, I wasn't sure what to make of Mechanistic Interpretability, which seemed to come out of nowhere not too long ago.

But then I found the paper "Mechanistic?" by
@nsaphra.bsky.social and @sarah-nlp.bsky.social, which clarified things.

It's hard to understand but when the energy is good the good people post more. The energy on the other site is getting worse and the energy here is great so far.

That is just massive. Didn’t realise it was that big. 4000 shops on 7 acres of land???
