The mods of r/ChangeMyView shared the sub was the subject of a study to test the persuasiveness of LLMs & that they didn't consent. There’s a lot that went wrong, so here’s a 🧵 unpacking it, along with some ideas for how to do research with online communities ethically. tinyurl.com/59tpt988

Are you in Tübingen or nearby? Curious about the research happening in the city?

Then join us for another round of Pint of Science – the science festival where researchers step out of the lab and into the pub to share their latest findings! 🍻🧠

Hi Tobias, how exciting! If you're around for a few days and if this fits into your (surely hectic) schedule, it'd be a pleasure to host you at the Isola and Torralba labs (MIT CSAIL) 🙂 I've sent an email about this, cheers!

So far, 2,135 people have responded to the poll Søren and I posted a few days ago. Of those, 94.4% replied “Yes” to being interested in officially presenting accepted @neuripsconf.bsky.social papers in Europe. (1/7)

NeurIPS participation in Europe We seek to understand if there is interest in being able to attend NeurIPS in Europe, i.e. without travelling to San Diego, US. In the following, assume that it is possible to present accepted papers ...

Would you present your next NeurIPS paper in Europe instead of traveling to San Diego (US) if this was an option? Søren Hauberg (DTU) and I would love to hear the answer through this poll: (1/6)

Eg: "I'm trying to understand the conception of the body in the Divine Comedy" [truncated]; he replied right off the top of his head, "Ah, that's in Purgatorio Canto 25" and elaborated.

I will be giving a talk at the MPI-IS @maxplanckcampus.bsky.social in Tübingen next week (March 12 @ 11am). The talk will cover my group's overall approach to trust in ML, with a focus on our work on unlearning and how to obtain verifiable guarantees of trust.

Dear @berlinphil.bsky.social, please consider visiting us at @csail.mit.edu (MIT CSAIL) too when you're back in Boston! We promise we also do good research 😉

funny how all the “Bluesky is an echo chamber” opeds sound exactly the same

hard for me to get engagement on this platform but it’s ok I’m just waiting for all the AI researchers to show up so I can go mega viral saying shit like “who called it Xavier Initialization and not Weighting For Glorot”
