I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

Another example of bad AI practices, with a great take from Pluralistic. TL;DR, no, you cannot train an AI Vision model to predict MBA performance from headshots (other than to measure preexisting human bias). pluralistic.net/2025/02/17/c...

A brilliant colleague and wonderful soul Felix Hill recently passed away. This was a shock and in an effort to sort some things out, I wrote them down. Maybe this will help someone else, but at the very least it helped me. Rest in peace, Felix, you will be missed. www.janexwang.com/blog/2025/1/...

Felix Hill was such an incredible mentor — and occasional cold water swimming partner — to me. He's a huge part of why I joined DeepMind and how I've come to approach research. Even a month later, it's still hard to believe he's gone.

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square. 45² = 45 x 45 = 2025 Also, 9² x 5² = 2025 40² + 20² + 5² = 2025 My favourite? 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025 #Mathematics #teaching #education

OpenAI whistleblower Suchir is dead. His mother has reasons to suspect foul play, below. I hope that SFPD will reinvestigate. His parents deserve justice, and given how central Suchir was to upcoming legal cases with hundreds of billions of dollars at stake, the world deserves answers.

In collective intelligence smarter units are not always better: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... For AI the lesson is that just making AIs more intelligent isn't necessarily going to make them better tools (or companions, or assistants)

Breaking news: A 2020 paper that sparked widespread enthusiasm for hydroxychloroquine as a #COVID19 treatment has been retracted, following campaigning by scientists who alleged the research contained major scientific flaws and may have breached ethics regulations. scim.ag/4iR9bQ6

Advice for budding AI researchers: read a paper every week. It almost doesn't matter which paper. The goal is not to know the whole field (that's impossible), but to get very comfortable quickly understanding what an article is about and evaluate it's contribution in the context of the field.

Anyone knows how to quickly follow back people who follow me? Bonus points if there's a way to do it by having some profile information alongside the decision point. I find it hard to just click on every person one by one, look at their profile, decide, and go back.

What are the best examples of AI products that are trying to explicitly empower humans? Maybe search, maybe codegen? I think most use-cases are (actually) empowering corporations, and that worries me.

Here is a list of ML OSS & Open Source / Science enthusiasts I found on Bluesky 🦋 go.bsky.app/8MFcfXd Let me know if you find such people here! I'm still new here and probably the list misses many must-add people, so let's built it together💪
