We could have had the good timeline, but no, you just couldn't imagine it to manifest it. I'm still on their mailing list tho

Inclusion Arena: An Open Platform for Evaluating Large Foundation Models with Real-World Apps
Large Language Models (LLMs) and Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have ushered in a new era of AI capabilities, demonstrating near-human-level performance across diverse scenarios. While numerous benchmarks (e.g., MMLU) and leaderboards (e.g., Chatbot Arena) have been proposed to help evolve the development of LLMs and MLLMs, most rely on static datasets or crowdsourced general-domain prompts, often falling short of reflecting performance in real-world applications. To bridge this criti…

AssoCiAm: A Benchmark for Evaluating Association Thinking while Circumventing Ambiguity
Recent advancements in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have garnered significant attention, offering a promising pathway toward artificial general intelligence (AGI). Among the essential capabilities required for AGI, creativity has emerged as a critical trait for MLLMs, with association serving as its foundation. Association reflects a model' s ability to think creatively, making it vital to evaluate and understand. While several frameworks have been proposed to assess associative abi…

2026 FIFA World Cup expansion will have a big climate footprint, with matches from Mexico to Canada
When the FIFA World Cup hits North America in June 2026, 48 teams and millions of sports fans will be traveling among venues spread across Canada, the United States and Mexico.

AI, AGI, and learning efficiency
My 4-month-old kid is not DDoSing Wikipedia right now, nor will they ever do so before learning to speak, read, or write. Their entire "training corpus" will not top even 100 million "tokens" before they can speak & understand language, and do so with real intentionally.
Just to emphasize that point: 100 words-per-minute times 60 minutes-per-hour times 12 hours-per-day times 365 days-per-year times 4 years is a mere 105,120,000 words. That's a ludicrously *high* estimate of words-per-minute and hours-per-day, and 4 years old (the age of my other kid) is well after basic speech capabilities are developed in many children, etc. More likely the available "training data" is at least 1 or 2 orders of magnitude less than this.
The point here is that large language models, trained as they are on multiple *billions* of tokens, are not developing their behavioral capabilities in a way that's remotely similar to humans, even if you believe those capabilities are similar (they are by certain very biased ways of measurement; they very much aren't by others). This idea that humans must be naturally good at acquiring language is an old one (see e.g. #AI #LLM #AGI

Ethereum Crypto Wallets under Address Poisoning: How Usable and Secure Are They?
Blockchain address poisoning is an emerging phishing attack that crafts "similar-looking" transfer records in the victim's transaction history, which aims to deceive victims and lure them into mistakenly transferring funds to the attacker. Recent works have shown that millions of Ethereum users were targeted and lost over 100 million US dollars. Ethereum crypto wallets, serving users in browsing transaction history and initiating transactions to transfer funds, play a central role in deployin…

Reminder if you live in the US and have Internet, you probably need to call your provider every year to stop your monthly costs from tripling, and be actually ready to switch if you are lucky enough to have any competition.

Ik de krant en op TV kwam de vraag voorbij wat dat nou kost zo'n zakje voorgesneden uien, met wél een mening maar geen antwoord.
Ik heb even gekeken en omgerekend. Uien: € 0,99 per kilo. Voorgesneden uien: € 11,00 per kilo. Tip van mij: koop een molenmesje.

EGOILLUSION: Benchmarking Hallucinations in Egocentric Video Understanding
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance in complex multimodal tasks. While MLLMs excel at visual perception and reasoning in third-person and egocentric videos, they are prone to hallucinations, generating coherent yet inaccurate responses. We present EgoIllusion, a first benchmark to evaluate MLLM hallucinations in egocentric videos. EgoIllusion comprises 1,400 videos paired with 8,000 human-annotated open and closed-ended questions designed to trigger…
