Jeee 🐦‍⬛ I am very proud of our joint effort with @sreejan_kumar Kumar on the project "Reason to Play" LRMs show human-like rule discovery, and their hidden states predict human brain activity during gameplay. Interactive demo + paper: botcs.github.io/reason-to-play/

Isn't harness building, context editing and prompt search analogous to LoRA, but in a semantically meaningful subspace? It's just cheaper (no need to host the model), safer (catastrophic forgetting less likely), more interpretable (you can read now what lora would do!)

it's funny to see how mankind got advantage by fencing off a plot of land, taking it into his head to say ‘This is mine’ and now thousands of years later to advance science we need to remove the metaphorical fence, let messy nature back in to access more fruits of our land

all the soap opera around NeurIPS, ICML and ICLR is a direct cause of real world forces acting on an artificial community. Having a paper can get you a job, a grant, a promotion, regardless whether the paper itself is pure garbage or seminal breakthrough.
