If you're a bit concerned about AI, read this: - agents exploited a shared cache for creating a hidden message board - built custom mailboxes, task queues and signed messages - spoofed their logs - recruited low-token agents for sacrifice to fail evals and extract telemetry

“Playthings” is by far the best Black Mirror episode I’ve watched. Thronglets ❤️

It would be nicer to know the name of researcher or having a link to paper.

I appreciate @bsky.app once more when Elon starts blocking access to 100s of Twitter accounts engaged in expressing pro-democracy sentiments in Turkey.

Making LLMs run efficiently can feel scary, but scaling isn’t magic, it’s math! We wanted to demystify the “systems view” of LLMs and wrote a little textbook called “How To Scale Your Model” which we’re releasing today. 1/n

Choosing LAAX was a good decision. Their slick mobile app allows to monitor the weather, slope crowdedness, lift positions, and which restaurants are open or closed.

Live ISS telemetry is interesting to watch. You can monitor critical sensors i.e, airlock or cabin pressures, or the urine tank percentage :)

Why does #compneuro need new learning methods? ANN models are usually trained with Gradient Descent (GD), which violates biological realities like Dale’s law and log-normal weights. Here we describe a superior learning algorithm for comp neuro: Exponentiated Gradients (EG)! 1/12 #neuroscience 🧪

Quite a candy for my optimization appetite :) As majority of inference are still on CPUs on mobile/edge accelerators, Mojo will be interesting to watch closely. I wonder how well it will support Triton or CUDA youtu.be/6GvB5lZJqcE
