Current LLMs are exactly 0 useful for tweaking style in PDFs generated with LaTeX from quarto documents. It's niche, admittedly, but a great area showing severe limits close to complete breakdown of capabilities. Not possible to entertain illusion of "understanding" here. Full hallucination mode.

Getting nervous for the talk I'm about to give at a workshop about "using AI to drive impact" which features slides such as these.

Can't wait to share our new #RSA model of #indirect communication developed with Michael Franke @meanwhileina.bsky.social‬ and Martin V. Butz! We model how speakers choose utterances, such as "The election outcome was interesting!", and how listeners interpret them. doi.org/10.1371/jour...

Excited to share a new preprint w/ @michael-lepori.bsky.social & Michael Franke! A dominant approach in AI/cogsci uses *outputs* from AI models (eg logprobs) to predict human behavior. But how does model *processing* (across layers in a forward pass) relate to human real-time processing? 👇 (1/12)

✨ Come join us at the Second edition of the Re-Align workshop @iclr_conf ! 🚀🧠 The workshop explores the fascinating question of how artificial and biological systems align in their representations of the world. #ReAlign #ICLR2025

Hey. The fragmentation of the social media landscape has been hard on indie #scicomm 🧪 projects So if you'd like to follow a podcast that's enthusiastic about #linguistics, could you check out @lingthusiasm.bsky.social? And if you think your followers might like to, could you give this a repost?

Great job opportunity for PostDoc on formal semantics/pragmatics & CogSci in Paris: linguistlist.org/issues/36/980/

I'm in a place of immense privilege, so I'll be staying here to fight, but if you are not I'd definitely recommend exploring this option!
