Happy to say my first paper from my first semester working on research was accepted for presentation at ALIFE later this year in Kyoto. Hopefully more ambitious projects coming soon 😺

fair enough tbh if true. benchmark farming is like 50% for hype in the tech space and it would be bad if the most mainstream-used model had negative side effects from that

a certain loud portion of the internet is so unfathomably against “ai” as a concept but as a social movement that was never rooted in legitimate argument very difficult to tell what the actual average person knows or thinks

results shape beliefs, but the converse is also true

semi successfully vibecoded after lots of pain but now i realize i probably have no use for this as long as i'm still using jupyter notebooks like a normie. so i have to be a nerd and do everything in a python shell from now on

@_ueaj evolutionary techniques are inherently really parallelizable, but still turns out to be less sample efficient than gradient/hill-climbing methods. but even a simple evolutionary process that doesn't intelligently balance exploration/exploitation based on task structure (i.e. more…

New article! It's about a proposal for a new learning algorithm inspired by evolutionary algorithms and string theory. It's not something I will actually pursue b/c I'm lazy and don't care to learn kernel writing but it's cool. You can just make all the various axis in a GPU…

i remember LLM API costs being so expensive just a year ago, for far less capable models. so much scaffolding and tons of API calls needed to be able to make 4o useful for mass document processing

A UT undergrad wrote a very interesting paper that uses neural cellular automata to solve some of the Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus (ARC) AGI benchmark problems. @TexasScience arxiv.org/abs/2506.15746

How far can vanilla NCAs go on ARC-AGI? Farther than you'd expect. I benchmarked fixed-step, unmodified NCAs on all public tasks from ARC-AGI-1 and ARC-AGI-2 They hold up remarkably well. Its also dirt cheap. Results + visuals:
