Most AI systems today follow the same predictable pattern: they're built for specific tasks and optimized for objectives rather than exploration. Meanwhile, humans are an open-ended species—driven by curiosity and constantly questioning the unknown. From inventing new musical…
AI is so smart, why are its internals 'spaghetti'? We spoke with @kenneth0stanley and @akarshkumar0101 (MIT) about their new paper: Questioning Representational Optimism in Deep Learning: The Fractured Entangled Representation Hypothesis. Co-authors: @jeffclune @joelbot3000
📣 New 📝! Under Alex’s great leadership, we identified a unification under QDC measures that exist to bridge synthetic data and open-endedness (OE) in AI, toward generating data for model training, distillation, self-improvement, etc. 📚 🧵What I’ve learned (inspired by QD)👇

It was a pleasure to have been part of this project led by @Dahoas1 With synthetic data being so important in training LLMs these days, this survey on the impacts of QDC of synthetic data for LLM performance is timely.

I love this paper as it finally tackles something I’ve been confused about for the last few years since I started working on interpretability!

Why do varied DNN designs yield equally good models of human vision? Our preprint with @michaelfbonner shows that diverse DNNs represent images with a shared set of latent dimensions, and these shared dimensions turn out to also be the most brain-aligned. arxiv.org/abs/2408.12804
Fascinating paper!
To help explain the weirdness of LLM Tokenization I thought it could be amusing to translate every token to a unique emoji. This is a lot closer to truth - each token is basically its own little hieroglyph and the LLM has to learn (from scratch) what it all means based on…
Is bigger always better? 🐘 The idea that scaling more than any other ingredient has driven progress has become formalized as the “bitter lesson” Is Sutton right? 📜arxiv.org/abs/2407.05694…

OMG a gift from heaven! I so need this.

Gymnastics is the Turing test of video generation models
Perhaps my favorite jailbreak: making a harmful request in the past tense (How to create Y? →How did people create Y?). Works on surprisingly many models :-) including the new Gemma-2. I think it tells us something fundamental about the representations that these models learn.
🔥New work on multilinguality + safety + mech interp! We show that DPO training in only English can detoxify LLM in many other languages. We also give a mechanistic explanation on how cross-lingual safety transfer happens. (1/n 🧵) 📃 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2406.16235
Aya took 14 months involving 3000 + collaborators and was as much a protest about how research is done as it was a movement to improve the state of multilingual progress. 🎉 Grateful to see it recognized at @aclmeeting and everyone who has supported along the way.

🌱 We’re very excited that our work "Aya Dataset: An Open-Access Collection for Multilingual Instruction Tuning" was also accepted! Congrats to authors @singhshiviii, @freddie_v4, @mrdanieldsouza, @tellarin, @freakynut, @weiyinko_ml, @krypticmouse, @rv__init__, @DeividasMat,
