Studie: Was den Pinguinen ihre Kiesel sind Menschen im Internet süße Tierfotos
In sozialen Netzen ist nicht alles schlecht, im Mittelpunkt stehen oft süße Tierfotos. Zwei Forscherinnen haben analysiert, wie die sich verbreiten – und warum.

A new, updated, streamlined, and generally improved version of The Vector Grounding Problem paper, joint work by @… and me on the meaningfulness or else of LLM outputs and internal representations is now available on ArXiv.

The Vector Grounding Problem
The remarkable performance of large language models (LLMs) on complex linguistic tasks has sparked debate about their capabilities. Unlike humans, these models learn language solely from textual data without directly interacting with the world. Yet they generate seemingly meaningful text on diverse topics. This achievement has renewed interest in the classical `Symbol Grounding Problem' -- the question of whether the internal representations and outputs of symbolic AI systems can possess intrin…

The current LLM “focus on anthropomorphic interfaces—just have a chat!—makes them charming, misguides us into attributing more agency and intelligence than they have, which makes it even more challenging for people to control or use them predictably. Sycophancy is one of the many challenges here, for example.”
“Coding assistants, particularly agents, are narrower in their interface, but they build on a similar interaction model. They aim to look like developers, independent entities that can do the actual work.”

Dass diese Eskalation einem Drehbuch folgt scheint niemand sehen zu wollen.
Teile der bürgerlichen Presse haben echt fertig. Die machen einfach weiter mit ihrem Both Sides Quatsch. Unfassbar.

Si Intercalation Beneath Epitaxial Graphene: Modulating Mott States at the SiC(0001) Interface
Intercalation has proven to be a powerful tool for tailoring the electronic properties of freestanding graphene layers as well as for stabilizing the intercalated material in a two-dimensional configuration. This work examines Si intercalation of epitaxial graphene on SiC(0001) using three preparation methods. Dangling bond states at the interface were found to undergo a Mott-Hubbard metal-insulator transition as a result of a significant on-site repulsion. Comparing this heterostructure consis…
