Current LLMs are exactly 0 useful for tweaking style in PDFs generated with LaTeX from quarto documents. It's niche, admittedly, but a great area showing severe limits close to complete breakdown of capabilities. Not possible to entertain illusion of "understanding" here. Full hallucination mode.

Can't wait to share our new #RSA model of #indirect communication developed with Michael Franke @meanwhileina.bsky.social‬ and Martin V. Butz! We model how speakers choose utterances, such as "The election outcome was interesting!", and how listeners interpret them. doi.org/10.1371/jour...

The alignment model of indirect communication

Speakers often choose utterances under uncertainty about the potential opinion of the listener. In this case, utterances that do not signal the speaker’s opinion directly may allow the speaker to avoi...

Excited to share a new preprint w/ @michael-lepori.bsky.social & Michael Franke! A dominant approach in AI/cogsci uses *outputs* from AI models (eg logprobs) to predict human behavior. But how does model *processing* (across layers in a forward pass) relate to human real-time processing? 👇 (1/12)

Screenshot of Figure 1, which has two panels labeled (a) and (b). The caption states the following. Figure 1: Overview of our study. (a) Experiment 1: We explore whether forward passes show mechanistic signatures of competitor interference, first preferring a salient competing intuitive answer before preferring the correct answer. (b) Experiment 2: We systematically investigate the ability of dynamic measures derived from forward passes to predict indicators of processing load in humans.

I'm in a place of immense privilege, so I'll be staying here to fight, but if you are not I'd definitely recommend exploring this option!

Dear US colleagues, In response to the Trump administration, my university @univ-amu.fr is setting up a new program dedicated to welcoming American scientists wishing to pursue their work in France. There are several M$ in the budget. www.univ-amu.fr/en/public/ac...
