It's really hard for me to understand why anyone would want to work at xAI

Just saw a person walking around with a “don’t give Islam a chance” sweater (written in German). I think that’s the first time I see Islamophobia that clearly on daylight. Shocking. For context, I don’t subscribe to any religion, but actively condemning people because of their beliefs is wrong.

I was looking into Voronoi diagrams for a side project, but I just could not follow the details. So I do want I am wont to do and dove into the details, working out a lot of geometry and making too many figures. HTML: betanalpha.github.io/assets/chapt... PDF: betanalpha.github.io/assets/chapt...

Hi everyone, If you like @scikit-learn.org, how about upvoting my request to add it to the LinuxFoundation insight board: github.com/linuxfoundat... Thanks 🧡💙

In 2025 about 800 million people lived in extreme poverty (UN definition: having less than 3€ per day). Guess how many of those Elon could get out of extreme poverty for at least a year. All of them.

We need new rules for publishing AI-generated research. The teams developing automated AI scientists have customarily submitted their papers to standard refereed venues (journals and conferences) and to arXiv. Often, acceptance has been treated as the dependent variable. 1/

Researchers: Aside from moderation and safety features, what would you want in a researcher-focused social app? Obviously a feed of shared papers, but what else?

The AI and ML Lab wishes you a joyful holiday season and an insightful start to 2026

Oh my Lisbon is just so pretty.

if tumblr dies I need this video to make it's seasonal rotation here instead just in case, Happy holidays 🎄

Hossein Azizpour and I are hiring two research engineers to work with us on #uncertainties in scientific #agents at KTH! Both positions are full-time positions for 6 months. Please apply to both positions if you are interested. Ad 1: www.kth.se/lediga-jobb/... Ad 2: www.kth.se/lediga-jobb/...

A striking example of spatial reasoning is humans’ ability to recognize objects across viewpoints—a skill known as mental rotation. How does the brain achieve this ability? To answer this, we propose a mechanistic model of human mental rotation. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2512.13517 1/🧵

I’d say it was pretty obvious that the whole US “involvement” in Venezuela was about oil, one way or another. The sudden bluntness about it is surprising to me, though.

Don't steal pies this Christmas.

Worried about AI’s military uses? We are too. We’re organising an ICLR 2026 workshop on AI research and military applications—dual-use risks, transparency, accountability, and ethical/legal governance & policy. Details + paper submissions: see Noa’s post and visit aiforpeaceworkshop.github.io.

If someone with communication and/or influence training wants to help me out, I'm writing a piece on a conflict on which I would like not to make image-related mistakes. Do reach out. Thanks!

1 month until deadline! Join us to build your own lab in AI + machine learning research. World-class resources incl. @lumi-supercomputer.eu, generous starting package & professorship affiliation with a university in the world’s happiest country! ➡️ www.ellisinstitute.fi/PI-recruit-2... #hiring

People who've spent two years on Elon Musk's X sitting in between four stadium-sized loudspeakers blasting noise at full volume without a break come to Bluesky and say stuff like 'Oh, it's so quiet here'

We've been lucky to host a number of excellent speakers at the Online Monte Carlo Seminar this past term; please do visit the YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...) to catch up on these interesting recent developments! (and we'll be back again from January!)

10 days left to apply for a PhD/PostDoc position in probabilistic machine learning together with me at @kthuniversity.bsky.social. Both positions are fully funded and part of WASP, the Swedish AI program! For details, see the links below. PhD: tinyurl.com/4bppbste PostDoc: tinyurl.com/2tasv6bd

EurIPS was pretty fun! Thanks to @lacerbi.bsky.social , @conorhassan.bsky.social , and all organizers of the Amortized ProbML team for the great workshop and for inviting me as a speaker! 🙌 Also great to be able to present our spotlight paper on sparsity on the main stage 😍

Elon Musk openly compares the EU to Nazi Germany and yet tomorrow the EU institutions will happily post to X as if nothing had happened.

Beautiful keynote by @gaelvaroquaux.bsky.social at @euripsconf.bsky.social .

Really enjoyed the talk by Michael I. Jordan @euripsconf.bsky.social !

If you are at @euripsconf.bsky.social and you want to work with me on probabilistic ML then get in touch!

As usual, a brilliant talk by @emtiyaz.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy at @euripsconf.bsky.social !

Reminder: Two weeks left to apply for the Assistant/Associate Professor positions in Theoretical Computer Science at Cambridge. Application deadline: 15 December 2025. Details and application portal: cst.cam.ac.uk/assistantass...

🚨 New paper alert! We introduce Vision-Language Programs (VLP), a neuro-symbolic framework that combines the perceptual power of VLMs with program synthesis for robust visual reasoning.

I am hiring a PhD & postdoc to work together with me at KTH on probabilistic machine learning. Both positions are fully funded and part of WASP. I will be attending @euripsconf.bsky.social, if you are around and want to talk about the positions or what we do at KTH, then ping me and we can meet.

Statement from #AISTATS2026 organizers regarding the @openreview.bsky.social API Security Incident

If you want to meet up at any point to talk about -> physics-informed ML, autodiff, linear algebra, Bayesian DL, or probabilistic numerics, just let me know. Always happy to talk research, collaboration, (jobs!), or just grab a coffee/beer. Looking forward to seeing everyone in Copenhagen! 🇩🇰

Really looking forward to Eurips next week! 🇩🇰 😎 Not just because Bella Centre is literally a metro ride from home, but because it's really excellent to see the ML community gathering in Europe! If you're around, say hi! Here's where I'll be 🔽🔽

🏹 Job alert: Principal Investigators in artificial intelligence and machine learning at @ellisinstitute.fi 📍 Helsinki 🇫🇮 📅 Apply by Jan 12th 🔗 https://www.ellisinstitute.fi/PI-recruit-2026

Was a very fun (and quick) investigation into biases of multimodal benchmarks, this time on tasks designed for "Spatial Supersensing" introduced by Cambrian-S with some great folks!

I recently gave my installation talk after being tenured. The video of the talk is now available on the university's YouTube channel: youtu.be/R1UQoflPTDg 1/n

Nice update from #ICLR2026 PCs 🫡 Curious what "LLM detection tools" PCs are using I am also wondering if NeuRep workshop is taking some action for papers (presumably in question and then) "withdrawn" from ICLR 2026 by the authors blog.iclr.cc/2025/11/19/i...

Ok, I can proudly say that I commuted in some peculiar ways over the years, including swimming, kayaking, and taking overnight ferries. It’s so much more fun to commute in creative ways than taking the car or public transport every day.

Thoughtful (as always) blog post from Nicholas Carlini. "Are large language models worth it?" A nice read giving his perspective on risks of ML models. Post: nicholas.carlini.com/writing/2025... For people who prefer, this is the video of the talk from @colmweb.org www.youtube.com/watch?v=PngH...

I’ve long thought the most immediate use for XR glasses would be ad blocking. ChatGPT 5.1’s take below. Maybe time for an art/social commentary project using a high-quality passthrough VR headset like Varjo’s? I bet you could distill this into a real-time model good enough for making the point.

A senior academic using mentoring as leverage to obtain sex is a contemptible abuser of power.

Guys, I need help! I have an empty glass wall at my office that needs to be filled. I need memes!!!!

Those repeatedly low-quality reviews are starting to get under my skin. @iclr-conf.bsky.social, are we checking for AI-generated and low-quality reviews this year?

@pranav-nlp.bsky.social and I are surveying researchers about naming and name changes in academia (especially computer science). If your academic name is / has been / might someday be different from other names you've used, please tell us about it here: forms.cloud.microsoft/e/E0XXBmZdEP
