Knowledge Collapse in LLMs: When Fluency Survives but Facts Fail under Recursive Synthetic Training
Large language models increasingly rely on synthetic data due to human-written content scarcity, yet recursive training on model-generated outputs leads to model collapse, a degenerative process threatening factual reliability. We define knowledge collapse as a distinct three-stage phenomenon where factual accuracy deteriorates while surface fluency persists, creating "confidently wrong" outputs that pose critical risks in accuracy-dependent domains. Through controlled experiments with recursiv…

From my LinkedIn post: “Telling your dev team to use AI coding tools is like telling your 2010 ops team to use AWS. They didn’t know how to code, they were ticket and click-it VMware people… developers who don’t have product management mindset or have never managed a dev team will fail by trying to micromanage the output of the tool rather than specifying the outcome of the product and managing the agent team to deliver that outcome.”

Back in 2010 when we first started using AWS to run Netflix, the AWS services were very incomplete, somewhat unreliable, had scaling issues, but were super fast to provision compared to filing tickets and waiting for data center ops teams to do what we need. We worked around the issues, built a new cloud native developer driven architecture and scaled Netflix at speed. At the time many people said we were crazy to run a large enterprise on cloud and would be back in datacenters when it failed. …

Light-IF: Endowing LLMs with Generalizable Reasoning via Preview and Self-Checking for Complex Instruction Following
While advancements in the reasoning abilities of LLMs have significantly enhanced their performance in solving mathematical problems, coding tasks, and general puzzles, their effectiveness in accurately adhering to instructions remains inconsistent, particularly with more complex directives. Our investigation identifies lazy reasoning during the thinking stage as the primary factor contributing to poor instruction adherence. To mitigate this issue, we propose a comprehensive framework designed …

Texas Democrats had been out of state for less than 48 hours when Gov. Greg Abbott moved to have their seats declared vacant.
The emergency legal filing represents an unprecedented escalation of Abbott’s effort to pass a new congressional map that adds additional GOP seats -- as demanded by Donald Trump.
It flies in the face of Texas’ own founding documents,
centuries of legal precedent
and a recent Supreme Court of Texas ruling, legal experts say.
Even Attorney G…

A federal magistrate judge overseeing a torrent of cases during President Donald Trump’s policing surge in D.C.
condemned administration officials at a hearing Thursday,

while the defendants languished in jail.
