Excited to share the first paper of my undergrad: "Incidental Polysemanticity" arxiv.org/abs/2312.03096! We present a second, "incidental" origin story of polysemanticity in task-optimized DNNs. Done in collaboration with @vclecomte @tmychow @RylanSchaeffer @sanmikoyejo (1/n)

My first dabble at studying learning dynamics (and at AI safety-related work)! It was a lot of fun figuring out the exact speed at which encodings get sparser under L1-regularization; I didn't expect the math to end up being so nice. 🙂

I've been getting into ML theory recently, and it was a pleasure to learn from @RylanSchaeffer while working on this project!

Today's note covers some basics of communication complexity: how to prove lower bounds by studying rectangles in the communication matrix. victorlecomte.com/2023/02/16/mon…

It's nice that last year Open Philanthropy was the single largest funder of both farmed animal welfare & AI safety, saved ~25000 lives via GiveWell, and helped fund the malaria vax's development among other things BUT instead they could have renovated 1/12th of a train station
I've started measuring all government spending as a multiple of the cost of renovating DC's train station ($8.8 billion). With this new aid package, Ukraine will be able to renovate almost 7 train stations.

The thing I found most disturbing in the board debacle was that hundreds of OpenAI staff signed a letter that appears to treat the old-fashioned OpenAI view "OpenAI's mission of ensuring AGI benefits humanity matters more than our success as a company" as not just wrong, but…
I've seen a few people remark that it's ironic that the workers of OpenAI sided with their billionaire CEO over a non-profit board. But that misunderstands the board's intended purpose — never protecting OpenAI staff from its leadership, but rather protecting society from OpenAI…

I agree with the letter of this but don't resonate with its implicit vibe. "Superhuman AI won't be built next year and won't just be an autoregressive LLM" != "It's far away and people sounding the alarm should chill out." 🧵
There is no question that AI will eventually reach and surpass human intelligence in all domains. But it won't happen next year. And it won't happen with the kind of Auto-Regressive LLMs currently in fashion (although they may constitute a component of it).…
