Beyond just predicting words, LLMs interpolate meaning between data points, as in the recent phenomenon of AI explaining fake idioms like "you can’t lick a badger twice." The danger is that made-up "truths" will fuel future models

“A loose dog won’t surf?” There’s a better explanation for AI making up meanings for nonsensical idioms than just saying LLMs are word-prediction algorithms. Observers have recently been poking fun at Google’s AI Overviews for inventing meanings of nonexistent idioms like “you can’t lick a badger twice” (https://lnkd.in/e4H42Yhj). But to call this just another case of word prediction gone wrong seems to me to underestimate the power (and danger) of today’s large language mode…

GXJoin: Generalized Cell Transformations for Explainable Joinability
Describing real-world entities can vary across different sources, posing a challenge when integrating or exchanging data. We study the problem of joinability under syntactic transformations, where two columns are not equi-joinable but can become equi-joinable after some transformations. Discovering those transformations is a challenge because of the large space of possible candidates, which grows with the input length and the number of rows. Our focus is on the generality of transformations, ai…

At my keynote for the 2025 Acadia Ethics Conference, a number of clinical therapists in attendance surprised me by embracing AI's potential to bridge mental health gaps and even flag anxiety-producing items in their offices from a single photo.

The ability to analyze photographs is an underused feature of generative AI—one that turned out to be surprisingly effective in a keynote on AI and mental health I gave last week. When I was asked to speak at the 2025 Acadia Ethics Conference on generative AI and mental health, I was sure the clinical therapists in attendance would have a negative reaction to this disruptive technology given recent news about unethical experiments with online chatbots in social media, privacy concerns, and t…

PDFs had a rough month, with one study crediting them for 15% of cyberattacks and Meta flubbing PDF redactions to leak rivals’ secrets in court. It's possible to make PDFs secure but easy to get burned https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jonippolito…

It's been a bad month for PDF's reputation as a format that's "more secure" than HTML or word processing documents. First a study by security firm Check Point found 68% of cyberattacks begin in your inbox, with 22% of these hiding in PDFs. https://lnkd.in/eizRt6pw Then Meta accidentally pissed off Apple, Google, and Snap by sharing info about these competitors in its opening statement for the US government's antitrust case. Meta's slides were redacted PDFs, but the black rectangles were easi…

Sizing up AI’s environmental footprint for your students—and yourself - MYFest25
Wed 25 Jun 2025 @ 15:00–16:00 - It’s hard to know what to tell students about the ecological impact of generative AI when the Internet seems split between “Stop worrying” and “It’s the apocalypse.” This workshop offers a fact-based exploration of AI’s environmental costs while providing tools and activities for educators to bring this conversation into the classroom.
