Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X

I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together.
This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

"I didn't see a single building standing the entire time I was in Gaza. I didn't see one building intact or standing.

Everything was flattened. And when I mean flattened, it was hard to even tell that they were buildings there before."

the harder the industry invests on pushing narratives of AI as (only) positive, inevitable, and inherently good for society/business, the more any criticism of this narrative becomes β€œtoo radical”, β€œunworkable” and β€œunrealistic”

I was saying today exactly the same. A bunch of **dumb** motherfuckers are destroying the whole world.

Totally reminds me of this movie.

Hilde is, as often, spot on.

LLMs can speed-up things, like the tedious work to make a pretty plot in TikZ, but this is not research. It's next to research: a necessary task, but not the thing-in-itself. For those, it's amazing. But for the part that requires critical thinking, not much indeed.

@hildekuehne.bsky.social: "Take off the day ... After proofreading a stack of papers, I realized that there is just no way to speed up research with LLMs ... you can just speed up random nonsense. Problem is that only a few people are able to tell the difference."

I do agree, but there is a nuance: my personal opinion is that for improving it, we should identify the areas that cause only harm and cannot result in anything good (there is already tons of work in this), and ban its use in those areas.

What do you think about that?

There is no best VLM OCR model - rankings can flip completely by document type.

I built ocr-bench: run open OCR models on YOUR documents, get a per-collection leaderboard.

VLM-as-judge with Bradley-Terry ELO, all running on @hf.co. No local GPU needed.
