Mark Riedl @mark_riedl HIVE MIND: I saw an interesting-looking paper on Twitter within the last few weeks that was trying to quantify generalization in LLMs. I didn’t grab it at the time, and now I cannot track it down. Any thoughts on what it might have been? Thanks! Replying to @mark_riedl ( quantify generalization in

Flavio Donato @FlavioDonato82 How can memories persist in the brain when their properties and supporting biological substrates change over time and experiences? Our latest work newly published in @ScienceMagazine proposes that a balance between memory dynamics and persistence is achieved through the divergent recruitment of multiple memory traces established in parallel upon memory encoding. https://science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adk0997

The Otorongo Lodge @OtorongoLodge Another dead Electrophorous varii.

Cin-Ty Lee @CinTyLeeEarth I used to be a big fan of interdisciplinary science, but not anymore, at least not in practice. We r seeing too much performative interdisciplinary science now and they are not producing much to get excited about. The reason why they often fail is that interactions are forced by Replying to @CinTyLeeEarth

Bureaucracies have IQs: Business processes depending on humans memorizing and processing symbols will almost always fail During the really cold war, it was impossible to study nuclear reactions. So everyone studied and wrote about astrophysics and stellar models. Science fiction just uses “alien species”. Jonathan Swift used fictional worlds. Perhaps you all can write about

Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation: Is the division between India and Bangladesh primarily religious, ethnic and language? Or it is just a jumble of historical periods of dominance by others and arbitrary geographic boundaries? Microsoft Bing CoPilot: The division between India and Bangladesh is a complex interplay of several factors, including religious, ethnic, linguistic, and

@WorldBank Please put more effort into editing your data reports. Look at Population Total at https://data.worldbank.org/?locations=PK-IN-BD-CN-IR-AF Â The entries for China and India are in Billions. You need consistent units. Do not round to whole numbers, give background links. I used to respect WorldBank data, but your Internet people apparently are not trained in statistical

David Ho @_david_ho_ Anyone else notice that search doesn’t really work anymore? It used to be great. https://pic.x.com/8ip2boegma Replying to @_david_ho_ In the 26 years of the Internet Foundation, I have seen the Internet as a whole get worse. The terms I mostly use for myself are like “co-opted”, “fiddled” “manipulated”, “gamed”, “biased”. True random

https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.06097 I hope you all will work on “all human languages for all human knowledge”.   For the Internet, that is the recommendation. But it needs people to do it right, once and for all. It is possible, and it would greatly help stabilize and open the AI input data process so that it can
