New preprint with Julian Garcia & @tobyhandfield.bsky.social 🧵 We tested 1,048,576 moral systems of indirect reciprocity, each pairing a strategy (how to act) with a social norm (how to judge others), across all prisoner's dilemmas, snowdrift games and stag hunts. arxiv.org/abs/2610.03832 1/6
Model diagram. Two players, each with a good or bad reputation, play a two-by-two game with payoffs R, S, T and P. Each player cooperates or defects according to a strategy table that reads both players' reputations. An observer watches and assigns both players new reputations according to a social norm table that reads both reputations and both actions. Side panels show example strategies (ALLC, ALLD, DISC, CDISC, ODISC, PDISC) and norms (Scoring, Stern Judging, Simple Standing, Standing, Consistent Standing, Generous Standing) as colored grids.

You do not, under any circumstances, have to give it to Adobe. Especially when it comes to copyright law. Fuck Adobe and fuck copyright law and fuck anyone defending them.

If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent

Leaving aside Anthropic's incentives for publishing this research, there is no doubt that open weights models will soon create the same security threats that closed source models have been demonstrating, except without guardrails. We are close, so plan accordingly. www.anthropic.com/research/glm...

A very exciting result dropped on arXiv a few days ago (by @kortizceballos.bsky.social, @whereisyvette.bsky.social and Edo Berger) - direct detection of radio emission from an exoplanet. If the result stands up to peer review, it is a giant leap forward! www.sciencenews.org/article/exop...
sciencenews.org
First radio waves seen from an exoplanet hint at otherworldly auroras
The gas giant Beta Pictoris b, about 63 light-years away, has the mass of 10 Jupiters and a magnetic field thousands of times as strong as Earth’s.
