The proceedings of ICML 2026 are online, including a position paper I took part to: proceedings.mlr.press/v306/papamar... The 29 other authors did all the work 😅 but I'm still proud to share it. Also I "officially" become a co-author of so many people I like a lot, this makes me sincerely happy 😊

🚨 Two open postdoc positions in the ERC-funded project BrainAlign at the Max Planck Institute in Saarbruecken, Germany: position #1 on NeuroAI: postdocprogram.mpg.de/node/58480 position #2 on human-centered LLM evaluations: postdocprogram.mpg.de/node/58481 Application deadline: Oct 13, 2026

Genuinely do not understand how to work in robotics, which has tremendous military applications, without being political. It very obviously involves political choices!

Results for PPT are also available now

NeurIPS results are out (only Main track for now)

AISTATS is from now on officially called SISTATS 🐍

Trump tells the UN he is officially changing the name of Artificial Intelligence to "Super Intelligence" and says all US government documents will now be changed to refer to "SI"

I'm a Program Chair for ICML 2027. We'd love any creative suggestions for a great conference! How to manage the explosion of AI slop and insane submission growth? How to manage reviewing? How to incentivize high quality creative work? How to reduce bureaucracy and overhead?

Faculty Job Alert 📣! The Life Sciences Departments in Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences seek to recruit a tenure-track professor whose research is at the interface of AI and life sciences, from methodological developments to AI-enabled discovery. Please spread the word!

I will be looking for a PhD student in Bayesian statistics (in collaboration with Paul Bürkner), located in Prague. Forward to students if you have somebody who could be interested. www.martinmodrak.cz/grammo-call/

We are seeing a new trend in submissions to @arxiv.bsky.social (and presumably to conferences and journals): Authors submitting papers whose contents they likely do not understand. 1/

Countering misuse of AI: September 2026 / Anthropic

Case studies from threat actors disrupted between December 2025 and August 2026 across seven areas of harm, from cyber operations to biological misuse.

LLMs are somehow really good at telling you stuff you already know, but in a different, convoluted way, making it look really smart. Almost like replies by users on Reddit. …wait 🧐

I answered a friend's question about how AI systems might enact control over humans, and why it is important to discuss AI risk. People in the AI industry are becoming more and more scared, so I figured it was worth putting some thoughts down.

AI and Control

Forms of power and control and AI might have over us.

World’s oceans hit hottest temperature on record in August

World’s oceans hit hottest temperature on record in August

Average sea surface temperature outside polar regions was 21.1C on Saturday, latest data finds The world’s oceans were hotter than ever previously recorded on Saturday, according to the latest data. The average surface temperature was 21.1C, with the rising marine heat a stark indicator of the climate crisis. More than 90% of the heat trapped by carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning enters the oceans. Continue reading...

We are happy to announce that 28 workshops have been accepted for the Paris event, as part of the 102 accepted NeurIPS workshops: blog.neurips.cc/2026/08/10/a... They will take place on Sat Dec 12 + Sun Dec 13, 2026 (for Paris) The suggested deadline for Workshop submissions is close (Aug 29th)!

Some of the earlier work I was referring to: “Across the battery of theory of mind tests, we found that GPT-4 models performed at, or even sometimes above, human levels”

So here goes. In academic research there are two highly productive strategies: depth/analysis and breadth/synthesis. Depth is to explore a domain as far down into the detail as you can. Breadth is to explore connections between different domains as wide as you can. 1/n

If you think that AI reviews in conferences "to save time" or "be thorough" or "handle the large # of submissions coming due to AI", ask yourself how much it'll cost, and who will pay. If not "gifted" by companies, this is going to be north of $30+/paper. You expect 1000+ submissions? Budget that.

Ocean temperatures are hovering hundredths of a degree below the all-time record high with months to go before El Niño reaches full strength. “Basically, everywhere on Earth, we’re having above-normal temperatures in the ocean." New in @nature.com: 🌊🌍🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Ocean temperatures set to break all-time record: what's next?

High sea surface temperatures are expected to weaken ocean carbon sinks and damage coral reefs.

The good news? This isn't goodbye. Two more solar eclipses are heading for Europe: a total one in 2027, an annular one in 2028. That's right, it's #EclipsesOnTourInEurope. Start planning! #EuropeanSolarEclipse 🔭
