Imagine: You train a neural network. It quickly memorizes answers on training examples, but on new data it shows complete helplessness. Then, after a very long time of training, it suddenly "understands" the task and starts giving correct answers. This phenomenon is called Grokking (from the jargon meaning "to deeply understand the essence"). 📌 The Core Discovery: A team of researchers (Mingyue Xu, Gal Vardi, Itay Safran) has rigorously proven this strange behavior in a simple linear regression model and showed how to control it. 🎯 What is the Problem? Usually, we think that the longer an AI trains, the better it generalizes. But in the case of Grokking, the opposite happens: ① Overfitting → ② Long Plateau → ③ Sudden "Understanding" That is, the model first memorizes the data (overfits), then stagnates for a long time , and then suddenly "understands" the underlying pattern. 📊 What Did the Scientists Prove? For the...

📜 SECTION 1: MISSION What is the competition? SimulacraBench — a UN competition to improve the accuracy of sociological surveys through AI. Task: Predict the probabilities of respondents' answers to questions they were not asked or did not answer. Format: 3 datasets: UNICEF, World Bank, UNHCR Each dataset is a "respondent × question" table We only see part of the answers (GIVEN), we must predict the hidden ones (PREDICT) Metric: Skill (0 = random guessing, 1 = perfect) Prizes: Not specified in the README, but this is a prestigious competition from the UN + Stanford. Why does it matter? It's not just about "filling in the blanks." It's about making surveys cheaper and more accurate by predicting the answers of those who did not respond or who were not asked a question due to survey logic (gate). 🗺️ SECTION 2: WORLD MAP Project structure SituatedEvals/public/ ├── data/ │ ├── sample.json # Test schema (400 respondents)...

Original article: The turbulent AI era is here. The choices we make now are critical. For reference: BG - Bill Gates, HYP - Hyperborea BG. In my entire life, I've only had two jobs. In the first, I played a role in developing software to empower people through my work at Microsoft. In the second, which I've fully dedicated myself to since 2008, I'm returning the wealth earned at Microsoft with the goal of making the world healthier, better educated, and more equitable. This is work I'll have for the rest of my life. HYP. This is a fairly common job - to receive money from society and then fairly return it to them. This is what all government politicians do. And it's always exclusively for health, education, and in the name of justice. BG. "From an equity perspective, AI will become either the greatest equalizer ever invented or the worst source of injustice." HYP. From a professional standpoint, we need to distinguish between AI under human c...

In this issue: Three perspectives on the future of superintelligence — from political prohibition to corporate optimism and philosophical opposition. 1. Bernie Sanders Proposes Banning Superintelligent AI Source: Puck News Bernie Sanders's Plan to Ban Superintelligent A.I. Senator Bernie Sanders and Congressman Greg Casar pose the question: will the advent of artificial superintelligence be as dangerous as a nuclear weapon? Their plan is to ban the development of superintelligent AI before humanity faces consequences that can no longer be controlled. This marks the first serious legislative attempt to draw a red line between "useful AI" and "dangerous superintelligence." 2. IBM: AI Creates Value, Not Job Cuts Source: The Chosun Ilbo IBM Executive: AI Creates Value, Not Job Cuts IBM executive Sundaresan highlights the company's internal AI tool Bob, which boosted employee productivity by 45% — without a single layoff. This is a real-world cas...

В свое время, один Мечтатель, сказал об этом городе крылатую фразу, которая дошла до наших дней в следующем переводе: «Город то он конечно нашенский, но уж как-то очень далеко от Столицы…».  Этот «Владыка Стока» скрывает в себе особую силу и слабость.  И действительно, это самый дальний западный город на Востоке и самый восточный из западных. Другие его считают самым южным из северных – и здесь тоже ошибки не будет. Запад для Востоке и Восток для Запада. Север для Юга и Юг для Севера  – вот он какой, этот город.   Именно в этом городе родился Король , сказавший: «Сейчас, когда стало известно о моей смерти, предупреждаю вас: не курите. Всё что угодно, только не курение. Если бы я мог вернуться назад и бросить курить, не было бы повода обсуждать мой рак. Я в этом уверен». 3.     Здесь же живет уникальная женщина, сумевшая сама себе вырезать раковую опухоль . В юности нам рассказывали про одного из Героев , который на полярной станции сам себе вырезал аппе...

Greetings, inhabitants of the planet Trisolaris. I accidentally found myself in your world, over which three stars hang. Life on your planet is more cruel than on my homeland. You have three stars, and their path is complex and unpredictable. But if life on your planet is alive, if intelligence has grown on it, then the chaos of your stars is not boundless, and there is magic of order within it. And I have brought you an observation that can be verified. Take three stars at a single moment. Through them, a celestial plane can be drawn. Take three such planes at three close moments in time: the day before yesterday, yesterday, today. Any two planes intersect in a line. Three lines converge at a single point — let us call it the Eye of Trimurti . When the Eye moves slowly, the celestial planes are in harmony. This is the Stable Era . Then you can build, sow, teach children, and prepare supplies. When the Eye begins to accelerate, the pattern loses its strength. It may still...

Dario Amodei is the CEO of Anthropic, the creator of the Claude model. Prior to this, he led the team that developed GPT-2 and GPT-3 at OpenAI. In October 2024, he published an essay, "Machines of Loving Grace" — a manifesto on how powerful AI could reshape the world for the better. He borrowed the title from Richard Brautigan's 1967 poem but infused it with his own bold meaning. Unlike the numerous warnings about the dangers of AI, this text is a consciously optimistic view of the future. What Amodei Means by "Powerful AI" Amodei avoids the vague term AGI and speaks of "powerful AI." By his definition, this is a system that is smarter than the best Nobel laureates in most fields — from biology to programming. It is autonomous, multimodal (works with text, images, video, audio), and capable of existing in millions of copies, working in parallel, like a "country of geniuses in a data center." Such an AI does not just advise — it designs exper...
