I've shared this tip before but it comes up a lot: One of the safer options to help your kids learn with AI is for YOU to use it. Take a picture of a problem and ask the AI to explain it to you "in a way that I as a parent can explain to my _ grade student." You do the coaching, don't give answers.

Die Aussage von Ulrike Herrmann bei #MarkusLanz bringt es auf den Punkt: „Putin würde einen dauerhaften Frieden im Kreml nicht überleben.“ Ein Krieg, der zur persönlichen Existenzfrage eines Machthabers geworden ist, gefährdet uns alle. www.zdf.de/gesellschaft...

What if … it is good to see that there is still a solid coalition - and maybe some democrat-run states like California, Oregon, Washington, Vermont have an appetite …

Do LLMs understand probability distributions? Can they serve as effective simulators of probability? No! However, in our latest paper that via in-context learning, LLMs update their broken priors in a manner akin to Bayseian updating. 📝 arxiv.org/abs/2503.04722

Hast du Angst, wenn du dir die rasante Entwicklung in den USA Richtung Autokratie und Faschismus ansiehst? Das ist völlig berechtigt. Angst kann dich lähmen, wenn sie übermächtig wird. Oder sie kann dich zum Handeln motivieren, wenn du konkrete Möglichkeiten siehst, was du tun kannst. ⬇️

@simonpcouch.com is doing some really cool work with LLMs in R! He's created experimental packages like chores, ensure, and gander to help automate tasks like unit testing and roxygen tags. Check out his blog post to learn more: www.tidyverse.org/blog/2025/01... #RStats #LLM

I completely re-worked my course "Introduction to Bayesian statistics with brms" and taught it for the 1st time this week. It is meant as a tutorial for ecologists, but should be general enough for other sciences as well github.com/benjamin-ros... #stats #Rstats #brms #Stan #Bayesian

Over the past weeks I have spoken to experts who were skeptical about the value of AI in transforming white collar analytical work who changed their mind when exposed to Deep Research. It isn’t fully there, but I think this post shows how close it is already. www.understandingai.org/p/these-expe...

This is a crazy paper. Fine-tuning a big GPT-4o on a small amount of insecure code or even "bad numbers" (like 666) makes them misaligned in almost everything else. They are more likely to start offering misinformation, spouting anti-human values, and talk about admiring dictators. Why is unclear.

Heute ist die neue Weltbankschätzung für die Kosten des Wiederaufbaus der #Ukraine vorgestellt worden: die Schäden belaufen sich auf 524 Mrd US-Dollar. Kosten, die Putin mit seinem imperialen Angriffskrieg verursacht hat. Auch das sagt viel darüber, wer Täter und wer Opfer ist!

This new paper shows people could not tell the difference between the written responses of ChatGPT-4o & expert therapists, and that they preferred ChatGPT's responses. Effectiveness is not measured. Given that people use LLMs for therapy now, this is an important (and urgent) topic for study.
