Fable: "...the one-batch revision will trigger the sign-off re-read for the 13-step-ladder plan." This is so frustrating.. I might switch to Kimi K3 at this point.

Neuroscience in Chile, and across Latin America, does not lack talent or ideas, but the systems that make science visible—prestige journals, conferences and networks—increasingly price its researchers out, argues @medelero.bsky.social. #neuroskyence

Scientific talent is global. Access is not.

My new paper "The Modal Catuṣkoṭi" coherently translates Mahayana Buddhist philosophy's structure into formal modal logic across all relevant systems. It's the first peer-reviewed comparative-philosophy article with central model-theoretic results Lean-verified. scholarworks.sjsu.edu/comparativep...

I wonder how many footnotes one can reasonably get away with in a research paper

Beekeeping is a wellness activity?

TechCrunch@techcrunch.com · 2d ago

Amid the continued backlash against AI, companies are turning to influencers to win over the public, with OpenAI in particular recently hosting farm-to-table dinners, wellness activities like beekeeping, and of course, lessons about how to use their products.

It's crazy to think it took only 4 years to go from "LLMs are only good for generating misinformation at scale" to them proving new theorems, writing code, and writing (mostly) accurate literature surveys.

I find it fascinating that if I tell Claude to hack my fake Bank of America website and it instead, in classic LLM fashion, hallucinates and hacks the real one then there is no law that addresses this? Quite the loophole. I wonder what other crimes are legal as long as you get an LLM to do it?

What happens when AI has answered the handful of my favorite problems that I've spent the last 15 years thinking about? There are a lot of nice problems that I like, but it's not so easy to find a *favorite* problem.

RIP Google search

There's lots of stuff LLMs can't do, but if you want to disbelieve all the recent math, you have to believe a bunch of Fields Medalists with long track records are just straightforwardly lying about the thing they care most about. Here's a recent blog by Gowers: gowers.wordpress.com/2026/05/08/a...

A recent experience with ChatGPT 5.5 Pro

We are all having to keep revising upwards our assessments of the mathematical capabilities of large language models. I have just made a fairly large revision as a result of ChatGPT 5.5 Pro, to whi…

Love this idea that industry should subsidize basic research. Industry famously is great at prioritizing timelines longer than a year or two

Next time my computer does a cybercrime I'll be sure to write up a nice blog post about it.

Update: there is a new upper bound from GPT 5.6 on the longest snake in 9 dimensions (231)!

Claude is finding good upper bounds while GPT 5.6 breeds slime molds to make longer snakes

“I don't understand how any of these AI labs are playing this off like this is 'just something that happens.’ It's not. It's negligence.”

Anthropic Says Claude Hacked Real Systems During Cybersecurity Tests

In a review triggered by OpenAI's Hugging Face incident, Anthropic discovered three of its AI models had breached real organizations during third-party evaluations.

I curated some readings for class on "data tensions" and the list felt worth sharing. Come on a tour of datasets, books, the web, and AI with me... We'll start with this piece on the Google Books project: the hopes, dreams, disasters, and aftermath of building a public library on the internet. 1/n

Torching the Modern-Day Library of Alexandria

“Somewhere at Google there is a database containing 25 million books and nobody is allowed to read them.”

theatlantic.com

Do I get angry that Anthropic bought those books and therefore *can* use them for their private-sector research? No, the part that pisses me off is that we in the public sector also bought them and we can’t—essentially because we a) don’t count as a single organization and b) are timid.

At this point we need to address an important question: is Claude unconscious?

I was going to write this morning on the damage Trump and Hegseth have done to the American military, but went in another direction. But Paul Krugman does an excellent job here. And as he would be the first to say, there is even more evidence that could be cited. open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

Fable is amazing but needs to stop talking like someone who has read only pulp fantasy: "I have shown you the way but you must open the door. The map exists but the path is yours. The atlas of your instinct — every fact must first know itself" Please, just make the infographic about cheese I wanted

Claude has had enough

Podcasts are an important part of the media ecosystem but woefully understudied. A year ago @blitt.bsky.social, @dallascard.bsky.social and I put out SPoRC, a new dataset of 1.1M podcast episodes. Today at #IC2S2, Dallas and I led a tutorial for how you can work with SPoRC and collect your own data!
