If you're finding it difficult to stay on top of research, this podcast provides both audio versions and Q&A for arXiv papers. A handful of podcasts tackling this problem. This one is my current (ongoing) favorite.

#DARPA just announced a forthcoming program entitled "Exponentiating Mathematics", focusing on challenges to auto-formalization (and auto-decomposition of large proofs into small lemmas). The preliminary announcement (still short on many details) can be found at sam.gov/opp/4def3c13...

Very, very excited to be funding new @braiduk.bsky.social research across the UK, on new ways to empower artists/creators/curators, as well as tools to more effectively govern AI’s expanding environmental footprint.

Nice review of shape-morphing metamaterials. The images alone tell much of the story about the rather wonderful materials we can now make. www.arxiv.org/abs/2501.14804

Today, we are publishing the first-ever International AI Safety Report, backed by 30 countries and the OECD, UN, and EU. It summarises the state of the science on AI capabilities and risks, and how to mitigate those risks. 🧵 Full Report: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/679a0c... 1/21

A favorite thing: accidental encounters with nerds who love what I love. A formal Tuesday briefing transitioned into an extended sidebar on memory formation, the forgetting curve, and research on mitigating learning loss. Ebbinghaus and P300 and interesting people ftw.

Fascinating interview. One snippet describing malleable "pleasing" responses: "Eichstaedt: At some level of abstraction they've seen this behavior in the training data and it’s been implied by their reinforcement learning from human feedback — their last training step, we think."
