Took me a while to go through this paper introducing "Epiplexity", but this is really one of the best ones I've read in a while. It introduces a simple, new theoretical angle which explains a lot of the information theory paradoxes in ML - and can have practical impacts too. arxiv.org/abs/2601.03220

At LawZero, we're rethinking the building blocks of frontier AI to create an intelligent machine that is both highly capable and safe-by-design. We’re excited to share our first blog post outlining some of the objectives and core components of our Scientist AI project. 🧵 (1/4)

This project was 4 years in the making and it's finally out! We found that controlling vehicle speeds to mitigate traffic across a city can cut carbon emissions between 11 and 22 percent. To do this, we used deep reinforcement learning to optimize one million eco-driving scenarios. 🚗🤖🧠

If you've ever tried to train an RL agent to respect constraints with negative rewards, you may have noticed they tend to get risk averse and conservative (no, not that kind of conservative). 1/8
