Our large-scale study of memorization of books in open-weight LLMs (e.g., Llama, Qwen) will appear at the 2026 Conference on Language Modeling as an oral. We made a website for exploring our results on 200 books and 14 models: books-memorization.github.io

How much do open-weight LLMs memorize specific books?

Open-weight LLMs memorize books far more than previously believed. Memorization varies by model family, model size, and book. In extreme cases, entire books are memorized, and we can generate them eff...

Google Earth. View -> Show historical imagery. Can't go back/forth easily. Recommend starting with the before, taking a screenshot, then hitting the X to the far right in the historical imagery drop-down, taking another screenshot, and merging them with another tool/flipping back and forth on bsky.

Most people are sadly going to need a before/after slider. Wish it was easy to get the before satellite views, but I don't see how.

Social media users have been sharing Google Maps satellite imagery of Gaza over the past day. The damage visible on the map reflects the scale recorded by UN assessments. "It doesn't need scholars, it doesn't need anyone to justify this as a genocide because you can see it from Google Maps."

Going to try this, I'll let you know how it goes, and whether @hourlybreezing.ntw.app gets reinstated. (Thanks to @hilarybaumann.com and @jcsalterego.bsky.social for the help!)

"Hello,
I was unable to find the in-app appeal tool. However, I will just email this way, as it was a stated option.
My @hourlybreezing.ntw.app account is a trending bot account. The only thing it does is find the words that are being used this hour more often than they have been used previously, and ranking them by that usage, providing the top 10 as a list and the top few dozen in images.
It does not do anything else. It certainly was not selling anything illegal, nor was it facilitating anything.
Please have a [underscored and italicized] human [end of underscore/italics text] review this account so that it can be reinstated. I do not see how this could have been anything but a fully automated account ban.
If there are words I should not repeat lest the automated bots target my account again, please provide that list and I will add it to the blocklist of words my bot accounts already do not repeat.
Thank you.
Nick"

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Wednesday El Niño update - The explanation for why SSTs are still at record high levels in the Niño 3.4 region is because of both climate change + El Niño. Far-reaching ENSO teleconnections are more dependent on temperature gradients, & relative SSTs are actually more similar to other strong events.

Line graph time series of daily sea surface temperature anomalies in the Nino3.4 region. Years are shown from 1982 to 2025 in shades of blue to light yellow, and 2026 is shown in red. Climatologically, the largest anomalies are during the boreal winter in terms of magnitude. Data is from OISSTv2.1.

Map of September 28, 2026 average sea surface temperature anomalies in the ENSO monitoring regions. Data is from NOAA OISSTv2.1 with anomalies relative to a 1991-2020 baseline.

A Walla Walla, WA newspaper editor in 1951 advocated rooting out the Marxists and Communists, claiming that the Democratic president had been too attentive to the rights of minorities and insufficiently respectful of the rights of White Christians. That editor was Syd Pierce, an antisemitic fascist.

given our country over into the hands of MINORITIES, without regard to the rights of the majority White Christian Constitutional Americans. Mr. Truman has con-doned, rather than condemned, racketeering and corruption in high places. He has NEVER made any real attempt to ROOT OUT
Marxist-communists

At least 79 kids have been harmed by tear gas or pepper spray during Trump’s immigration crackdown. In most cases, they were going about their days when officers shot chemical munitions near their homes and schools and into their cars. (Published May)

Kids Are Being Harmed by Tear Gas, Pepper Spray Under Trump. There Could Be Long-Term Consequences.

In several cities, judges have chastised federal immigration officers, saying they used excessive force. One former DHS leader called ProPublica’s findings a “bright red flag.”
