SelfAug: Mitigating Catastrophic Forgetting in Retrieval-Augmented Generation via Distribution Self-Alignment
Recent advancements in large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized natural language processing through their remarkable capabilities in understanding and executing diverse tasks. While supervised fine-tuning, particularly in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) scenarios, effectively enhances task-specific performance, it often leads to catastrophic forgetting, where models lose their previously acquired knowledge and general capabilities. Existing solutions either require access to genera…

Quantum jet Hopf algebroids by cotwist
We introduce a cotwist construction for Hopf algebroids that also entails cotwisting or `quantisation' of the base and which is dual to a previous twisting construction of Xu. Whereas the latter applied the construction to the algebra of differential operators on a classical base $B$, we show that the dual of this is the algebra of sections $J^\infty(B)$ of the jet bundle and hence the latter forms a Hopf algebroid, which we identify as a quotient of the pair Hopf algebroid $B\otimes B$. This c…

Why does it take catastrophe to start a revolution?
If we‘re so free, tell me why
Someone tell me why so many people bleed?”

Wenn ich die CDU Hessen richtig verstanden habe, möchte sie den Mangel an Therapieplätzen für psychisch Erkrankte dadurch beheben, daß Menschen sich keine Hilfe mehr suchen, sondern einfach still leiden (oder irgendwann sich selbst oder anderen Gewalt antun, weil sie nicht mehr anders können), damit sie nicht auf den berüchtigten Listen der Polizei landen.¹
Das ist nicht nur unmenschlich, sondern auch dumm und gefährlich.

"Breaching the target would ramp up the extreme weather already devastating communities around the world. It would also require carbon dioxide to be sucked from the atmosphere in future to restore the stable climate in which the whole of civilisation developed over the past 10,000 years."
This is bogus. Carbon-neutral #CarbonCaptureAndStorage is the modern perpetual…

Misalignment or misuse? The AGI alignment tradeoff
Creating systems that are aligned with our goals is seen as a leading approach to create safe and beneficial AI in both leading AI companies and the academic field of AI safety. We defend the view that misaligned AGI - future, generally intelligent (robotic) AI agents - poses catastrophic risks. At the same time, we support the view that aligned AGI creates a substantial risk of catastrophic misuse by humans. While both risks are severe and stand in tension with one another, we show that - in p…
