Seeing all the AI stories over the last few weeks reminded me of the impact my alma mater @waikato had on the world. medium.com/@imcdnzl/how-a…
GPT-4 is still 🥇, but I stare, amazed at how good “mostly open” LLMs have become in the last 6 months. On LMSYS Chatbot Arena huggingface.co/spaces/lmsys/c…, the best open LLMs—Mixtral-8x7b-Instruct & Yi-34B-Chat—are roughly tied vs. ChatGPT-3.5 and get ~30% wins against GPT-4-Turbo.

For 10 years, Ukrainians have shed blood for the values and freedoms other Europeans take for granted. Their brave people have defended Europe against Russia while the world's most powerful military alliance looks on. We can never repay them, but we must do everything we can. 🇺🇦

You know what terrifies me much more than AI? Humans.
How do you explain one of modern history’s most brutal conflicts to a third-grader? Eight mothers from in and around NYC spoke to @anya1anya and @JuliaEdelstein about how they’ve discussed the Israel-Hamas war and its context with their children trib.al/FKJUdEm
Absolutely appalling thread of anti-semitism in the US. Did not expect this

Sentiment is everywhere in language. But how do LLMs represent it? We find: - All models studied have a linear, causal sentiment direction - They summarize information at placeholder tokens like commas An early step towards decoding world models! arxiv.org/abs/2310.15154
Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. In an intimate post, Ross reflects on his worst fear: Ukraine's best are doing the dying. Meanwhile, Biden will link Ukraine/Israel in a public appeal tonight. And we examine Russia/Hamas ties. counteroffensive.news

Devastating to hear horrific news of another war unfolding and innocent people losing lives. Hoping for future is without terrorism. Nobody deserves this.
Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. Today’s issue is a personal essay, titled ‘PTSD, Booze, and Me.’ It’s about what I learned from a dark period in my life while covering this war. counteroffensive.news
Last month, we visited our customer Julia Maroto at @metacoregames. This Finnish company is the creator of Merge Mansion. Launched 3 years ago, it's been downloaded over 45 million times! You can imagine the volume of feedback they get. We're excited to help with that challenge.

Americas are less divided than they think they are.
“They're seeing life being lost… in front of their eyes in the most dramatic fashion… This is about human survival.” @RESCUEorg calls the imminent famine in Gaza “a profound failure of humanity.” Here's my conversation with its CEO @DMiliband
No consultation. Effective immediately. But there’s enough for tax cuts for landlords! The cruelty of this government knows no bounds. @chrisluxonmp have you connected this with your dismal popularity rating yet?

I’ve been lucky to learn from @mwseibel and his leadership at YC. He does so many things behind the scenes to help founders that most people aren’t even aware of, and he’s a huge force for good in the world. Here’s to 10 more years!
Some news on my next 10 years at YC: ycombinator.com/blog/michael-s…
1/ I’m an Israeli academic. My community is too silent about the ongoing war in Gaza. Here is how I see things based on reading hundreds of articles and watching thousands of videos and images about the war. This tweet chain contains my conclusions as a sort of executive summary.
Some kiwi ingenuity 🥝
I’m speaking at GDC! First time since Cursed Problems. Making fighting games rewired my brain - on what games are for, and why players actually show up. “Player Mythologies” is about designing a player experience that stretches beyond the game itself. schedule.gdconf.com/session/player…
In February 2024, Ukrainian warriors destroyed 13 Russian military aircraft in one month. Ten Su-34s, two Su-35s, and one A-50 will no longer drop bombs on Ukrainian troops and civilians or coordinate massive missile strikes on Ukrainian cities and communities. I am grateful and…
Over 100 people killed in Gaza amidst gunfire & a stampede, when the IDF opened fire as hungry Palestinian civilians rushed to rare aid trucks, according to the Ministry of Health. Tonight I spoke with @MarkRegev, senior adviser to Israel’s PM, about this & the dire lack of aid.
@p_millerd My drive to increasing the chance the future is better has gone up. My bar for spending time on anything is now "Is doing this worth not hanging out with my kid?" -- and thats a high bar. Result = more NOs and higher intensity YESs
