Very excited about @nthngdy.bsky.social's new work! It really gets to the bottom (or top, depends where the head in LMs is 😜) and fundamentals of contemporary LLMs. A real treat of a paper: solid theory, and very cool experiments.

Zoe presented this paper at NeurIPS D+B: it's all knots(🪢🪢🪢!?), no language tokens were harmed (or reinforced) in the process It's such a fun and creative paper, a real mind twist ;) You really get to think carefully about visual intelligence looking at these knots 🪢

I am potentially recruiting a postdoctoral fellow through this program. If interested, name me as a mentor, and ping me to let me know that you are applying! The process includes some sort of interview, so I can try to squeeze a few of these in advance (it will help a lot!)

How will AI agents impact democratic values? Democracies are—for independent reasons—already under acute pressure. Since WWII Moore's Law and democratisation went up and to the right in lockstep. Not any more.
