AI might not yet be eating the physical world.
Neural networks may be much easier to read than researchers assumed, with about 90 percent of neurons serving a clear function. That would be big news for AI safety research, since deception or dangerous behavior could be spotted directly in a model's circuits. Researchers are still debating whether the thesis holds up. The article Is AI interpretability close to a breakthrough? A new essay has researchers divided appeared first on The Decoder .

Sometimes a paper emerges from the day's literature stream that really gets my blood up – not because it is inaccurate or offensive, but because it notices and studies something that has been annoying me at the periphery of my awareness for a long time, in a vague and non-specific way (perhaps because I was too busy to do anything but ignore it). Such a paper has come out today, from three authors at the Department of Computing at Imperial College London. Titled Retrieved but Not Read…

Trying to get a sense of how common it is here.</p> <p>Nowadays I do the review, and I upload my review to an AI to ask for second thoughts. I don't ever upload a paper I'm reviewing, though.

When ChatGPT became publicly available, educators began to imagine the worst-case scenario. Students would no longer write their own essays. Take-home assignments would become impossible to trust. And somewhere, an LLM would be producing a perfectly acceptable five-paragraph essay on The Great Gatsby while its supposed author played video games in another room. The concern was understandable. For the first time, students had free access to technology that could produce convincing written work…

In a recent piece here on Unite.AI, Gil Feig laid out six best practices for building a secure MCP server. They are sound, and anyone shipping an MCP server should follow them. His advice to give each integration “its own fine-grained role, scoped strictly to required permissions” is exactly right. It also assumes the system on the other end has fine-grained roles. That points to a broader assumption that rarely gets stated: that the systems behind the server can be secured to the same…
In the space of a month, a new category of AI model went from nonexistent to everywhere. TypeSafe AI released Jev on September 15 and called it a System One model, a nod to Kahneman's fast, intuitive thinking.

This is a problem: Any open model whose weights have been edited can carry a backdoor, whether it’s a task-specific fine-tune, a merged adapter or an abliterated build. We have abliterated models in the title because it’s the most popular reason people download modified weights without verifying what’s inside. Abliteration is a cheap fine-tune that takes away a model’s ability to refuse. You find the direction in the weights that carries “no” and subtract it. The model then answers things a safe
