I expect that consumer-facing AI programs will continue to improve and they may become much more useful tools for everyday life in the future. But I think it was a disastrous mistake that today’s models were taught to be convincing before they were taught to be right.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Today’s AI isn’t just being used by us, it’s being used on us. We need to reclaim public power over the future trajectory of AI. In our 2025 report we offer a policy roadmap for how to regulate AI in favor of the public interest. Read the report: ainowinstitute.org/2025-landscape

Our scientific knowledge about disease is one of humanity's greatest triumphs and that we've allowed that great work to be co-opted and poisoned at every level by "legitimate" capital and snake oil salesmen is one of our greatest tragedies.

They show that LM hidden states can be approximated by the same mathematics that govern the statistical properties of microscopic particles and this is sufficient to predict LLM misalignment before they occur during inference.

there is no such thing as a ‘just’ empire. empires do what empires do. they displace, steal, extract, exploit, murder and then blame the most vulnerable for their crimes.

Quebec is planning to impose new rules on streaming companies to include more Francophone content on their platforms and to make it more visible to users. It’s hard to disagree with any jurisdiction moving forward with local content rules for streaming.

This is really important. Do NOT use the AI summaries at the top of google searches. Ignore them. This is especially important if you don't have any prior knowledge about the topic, but also a good general rule. Search sources, scrutinize them carefully and double-check with other sources.

It’s pretty easy to imagine the trends we’ve seen from smartphones (alienation, anxiety, reduced reading comprehension and persistence) compounded dramatically by LLMs.
