How does the brain find its way in realistic environments? 🧠 Using deep RL and neural data, we show that hippocampal-like networks support navigation, learning, and generalisation in partially observable environments—mirroring real animal behaviour. Now out: www.nature.com/articles/s41... #neuroAI

So the World Series MVP is an… immigrant

So the $20,000 humanoid robot housekeeper actually just webcams your house to a random person in a call center with an Xbox controller www.wsj.com/tech/persona... @joannastern.bsky.social

We live in such a horrible and crazy world, so every Sunday morning, I cover just the good news. My personal good news: because of you, we are the number 5 most watched news platform in the entire world, beating CNN, MSNBC, and more. Start your morning off with some good news.

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

This is the ad Donald Trump woke up furious about. Would be a shame if it went viral.

Boom! Only 132 away from 2,000! actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Hey Fox "journalists" take note.

just backed the Atlas of Fourier Transforms on kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/hla...

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is everywhere. But it didn't start that way. There was a time when the mayoral front-runner was polling at 1%, tied literally with "Someone Else." Now he has an 80,000-strong army of volunteers, a killer social strategy, and the internet on his side. The Big Interview:

You should listen to this podcast on your commute back home. Just saying.

#NoKings Miami!

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Omg, you did it! ABC just announced that “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” will return on Tuesday after the late-night host’s suspension became a flashpoint for free speech. We estimate that around 250,000 of our supporters canceled their Disney+ and Hulu accounts in protest. The pressure worked, money talks!

Tencent, the world’s largest computer gaming company, released HunyuanWorld-Voyager as open-weight. The world’s first ultra-long-range world model with native 3D reconstruction, redefining AI-driven spatial intelligence for VR, gaming, and simulations.

it's wild that The Fifth Element made one of the most accurate predictions of all 1990s sci-fi, anticipating the rise of the streamers and influencers as major celebrities.

This post from Terence Tao, on the threats to research and science, should be broadly shared wherever you can. It is measured and clear: newsletter.ofthebrave.org/p/im-an-awar...

I'm in Montréal to present new work on XAI for RL agents using World Models at the IJCAI Workshop on XAI, Aug 17 arxiv.org/abs/2505.08073 When an agent doesn't perform as expected, we run the world model backwards to generate counterfactual states from which the agent would have met expectations

I want you all to clearly understand our new reality. A mere tropical storm 400 miles away (from Martinique to Puerto Rico, or from central Bahamas to Miami) can intensify into a Category 4 cyclone like María in a matter of 24 hours. We’ve made our bed 🛏️ now we must lie in it.

ARC Prize analyzed Hierarchical Reasoning Model and verified scores on hidden tasks, ran ablations, and found that performance comes from an unexpected source. - Finding #1: The "hierarchical" architecture had minimal performance impact when compared to a similarly sized transformer

It's that kind of night... 🤖

This is masculinity too

New blog post: AI Allergy. On my increasing disgust with the AI discourse, even though I still like the technical and philosophical. And how I wish I could be excited about AI again. togelius.blogspot.com/2025/08/ai-a...

🔵 Proud to share our new preprint 🔵 We compared humans and deep neural networks on sound localization 👂📍 Humans robustly localized OOD sounds even without primary interaural cues (ITD & ILD) Models localized well only in-training distribution sounds, failing on OOD regime Link & full story 🧵👇

Was great listening to Turing award winner Rich Sutton tell us about his vision for the future of RL (and AI) @rl-conference.bsky.social !

The National Hurricane Center continues to monitor Tropical Storm Dexter as is moves away from the U.S. They are also monitoring two areas of potential development over the next seven days: one off the west coast of Africa, and one off the east U.S. coast. Visit hurricanes.gov for the latest.

Autonomous cars taking off before laundry robots suggests the bottleneck was really hardware, no? Automating driving seems so much more complicated / risky

PBS News is not going anywhere. We will continue our work without fear or favor, as we have for nearly five decades on the air. We are profoundly grateful to Viewers Like You for your loyalty and unwavering support.

Hello world! This is the RL & Agents Reading Group We organise regular meetings to discuss recent papers in Reinforcement Learning (RL), Multi-Agent RL and related areas (open-ended learning, LLM agents, robotics, etc). Meetings take place online and are open to everyone 😊

GoFundMe has set up a page for the Texan flood victims. Each campaign has been verified by the company's Trust & Safety experts, which means you know your money is going directly to families. Please consider donating if you can. Their stories are heartbreaking. www.gofundme.com/c/act/flood-...

Consider donating to Friends of the Everglades and the Center for Biological Diversity. They’ve filed a federal lawsuit in U.S. District Court to try and stop “Alligator Alcatraz” before it opens.

This is accurate.
