- first time designing clothes! made a dress for stanford’s runway
- i wish i could just benchmark myself
- Very excited to announce new work with @oneill_c (& @jwuphysics , @kartheikiyer, @jhuclsp) training sparse autoencoders over embeddings, discovering thousands of human-interpretable features from scientific papers, and using SAE interventions to improve semantic search
- i love giving models my half baked word jumble intuitions and getting back pointers to new concepts. works way better than actual search
- agi has such a pr problem. if you are creating technology that will upend people’s worlds, even if for the better, you need to think harder about public image.
- the models, they just want to hack
- Presenting two papers today, come say hi! @oneill_c will give an oral talk on our method for interpretable embedding search at 4:15 at FM4S (West 202-204) I’ll present a poster on feature emergence and hierarchy in SAEs from 11:20-12:20 at SciForDL (West 205-207)
- reality tells narrative how to curve; narrative tells reality how to move
- is dario the only lab leader that has publicly stated his long term strategy for china/safety/avoiding an arms race
- little kurt vonnegut bit on automation, meaning, and successor species
