time of year to look back

We've reviewed as much of the year's AI safety work as possible. 11000 words but it's not really for reading.

paris is great

i was recently asked to provide 4 "desert island" RL papers.
if i were stuck on a desert island i'd hope to have something better to read than #RL papers... but anyway, here's a thread with my choices, maybe you can read them on your flight to @neuripsconf.bsky.social #NeurIPS2024 .
Enjoy!

are you taking any undergrads or is it not worth applying?

I'm going to be at NeurIPS! Would love to chat and discover cool papers :)

interests:
- empirically grounded theory of DL, particularly real world ICL
- empowering human problem solving with models (related to education/HCI)
- agents with symbolic abstractions (for generalization and interp)
