The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

Ramón Méndez Galain helped Uruguay decarbonize its grid in just five years, with 98 percent of its energy coming from renewable sources. His new vision is to see Uruguay’s success story replicated in other countries.

Crazy random line in the Cursor RL blog post saying they're collecting RL data from real users, updating the checkpoint every 90 to 120 minutes. This would've been unthinkable if you told me it 12 months ago. What a wild year of reasoning models. buff.ly/8LqreS2

🚀 DinoV3 just became the new go-to backbone for geoloc! It outperforms CLIP-like models (SigLip2, finetuned StreetCLIP)… and that’s shocking 🤯 Why? CLIP models have an innate advantage — they literally learn place names + images. DinoV3 doesn’t.

The Linux Foundation released a new open source AI license, OpenMDW, essentially a license like Apache 2.0 that is well suited for model weights by some small changes. The first solid model I've seen using it is this translation model from ByteDance Seed (not surprising).

When she was just 26 Florence Merriam wrote the first guide to birding with binoculars in 1889. And she slipped in this incredible feminist gem:

@gamussa.dev doing his thing schooling these AI peeps on why Async messaging is the way to go for agentic composition and messaging. Completely agree!

I suspect that fact that the vast majority of LLM users don’t seem to have received this (really very simple!) message is because the AI companies have a vested interest in us not understanding it. “ChatGPT is smart, it just makes mistakes sometimes” is much more marketable than the truth.

There’s a fine line between AI skepticism and AI denialism. To me, the distinction is whether one shows a genuine interest in understanding what AI can accomplish

An Oxford study reveals a critical gap in chatbot testing: while LLMs excel on medical exams, human users struggle to get accurate diagnoses from them. This underscores the need to evaluate AI with human interaction, not just isolated benchmarks. #MedSky #MLSky

A different approach to interpretability. Instead of probing neurons and circuits, *tune* the models to provide "accurate, quantitative descriptions of their own internal processes during certain kinds of decision-making," and then show that this ability generalizes. #MLSky 🤖

A string may get 17 times less probability if tokenised as two symbols (e.g., ⟨he, llo⟩) than as one (e.g., ⟨hello⟩)—by an LM trained from scratch in each situation! Our new ACL paper proposes an observational method to estimate this causal effect! Longer thread soon!

Remember, Paris wasn’t “always this way.” Not that many years ago, Paris was choking in car traffic. And it wasn’t a safe place to ride a bike for transportation, so not many people tried. This is new. This is a result of deliberate vision, and bold leadership. Cities are a result of choices.
