iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

In light of everything happening this week, I wanted to reiterate that AI Flaws and Incidents should be reported in a responsible, coordinated manner, and crucially, this should be administered by a competent body as opposed to voluntary self governance, akin to analogous systems in cyber (CVE).

Weekend mini project! Since commentary on AI is inherently interdisciplinary, we connected the observations in the The Pope's encyclical, with decades of scholarship in Responsible AI and Ethics research, and created an interactive space with these annotations!

I miss pre 2022 AI when there wasn’t so much noise in the field. Almost no separation between my job and personal life (a bunch of which is attributable to FOMO). Can’t even go on vacation without hearing about AI a few tables across at dinner. Even the Pope is involved

Should all our resources go towards building chatbots? What if we built systems that actually give people meaningful agency? Finally out as an accepted @facct.bsky.social paper! Joint work with my past collaborators Sourojit, Pranav and Sanjana. huggingface.co/papers/2605....

This has to be rage bait. Did we not see the South Park episode where ChatGPT suggested a business idea to convert fries to salad? (And I tried to prompt myself too)

Who is winning the open AI race? Our new study Economies of Open Intelligence maps @hf.co 851k models' downloads 2020→2025. 1) Power rebalance: US tech ↓; China + community ↑ 2) Models size & efficient ↑ (MoE, quant, multimodal) 3) Intermediary layers ↑ (adapters/quantizers) 4) Transparency ↓ /🧵

This. Copyright is a tool for protection but it’s not everything. In fact, there’s research showing that it is possible to create competitive language models using public domain data only. The proliferation of copyright respecting models would not solve the labor impact policy problem.

Random off the cuff observation about American AI: LLM folks seem to be concentrated in SF, but AI4Science folks seem to be concentrated in Boston. Meaning as the former gets oversaturated and the latter is only getting started, I expect Boston to be the next big AI epicenter! 💪

+1000. I miss life pre-AI hype when the discourse around AI was more scientific and people used to attribute papers and opinions to scientists instead of to their companies. Not all orgs block research papers and sanity check their papers via legal teams, and HF, especially so, is very distributed.

Hey, so can someone tell me why ChatGPT generating erotica is bad, any more so than it generating anything else? Obviously anything non-consensual or age-inappropriate is bad, but I don't see why some researchers in my timeline are up in arms about it, while Grok already does this.

I had never seen people fighting with co-authors via colored latex comments on overleaf in a developing paper draft until today. One of them even pasted a google calendar link saying "can we hop on a call and hash this out". Paper writing is actually exciting sometimes!

AI for scientific discovery is a social problem: In our new position paper, @cgeorgiaw.bsky.social and I show that culture, incentives, and coordination are the main obstacles to progress, and we are launching the Hugging Science Initiative to address this!

So fascinating (not really) to me that company execs and tier 1 AI conferences have gone in completely opposite directions as it relates to AI usage. Surely the best minds actually developing AI models know something about overreliance, productivity, and quality? Surely?

This phenomenon needs a nice catchy name because every research paper (including my own) that refers to it uses as many words but it’s an insidious problem

This continues to be a recurring theme -_- Why is consumer agency so scary to the market? Noticed the same trend when I worked at Twitter: the personalization team cared for engagement metrics way more than actually showing users what they wanted to follow: “people don’t know what they like”

🤖 As AI-generated content is shared in movies/TV/across the web, there's one simple low-hanging fruit 🍇 to help know what's real: Visible watermarks. With others @hf.co, I've made sure it's trivially easy to add this disclosure to images, video, chatbot text. See how: huggingface.co/blog/waterma...

I adore the public library. I just put 15 picture books on hold for my kiddo, on trains (current obsession) and beaches (first visit soon). We'll pick them up after they're all gathered at our branch. This is free! You all know this, I just feel the need to say it out loud occasionally.

It's interesting to think that the visual depiction of the word "AI" is still strongly coupled to humanoid robots even as the most popular applications of what we currently think of AI are not that. Terminology overloading over time is fascinating to live through.

Thinking a lot about documentation standards today. I would be very interested in people's thoughts on what factors lead to a documentation schema to become a standard? Thinking about datasheets vs model cards for eg, and how one became a (somewhat) durable standard..

I genuinely want to know the thought process here. Is each model iteration a new being? Is Claude 4.1 its own legal entity deserving of model welfare different from 4.0? Or is it like one human updating their world knowledge and becoming smarter? Was the very first trained Claude the robot embryo?

This! Also begets the question, why are people starting to get averse to social forms of knowledge production, involving multi-level stakeholders? Why is this mad rush to clip out the humans from the process, instead of working in tandem?
