tl;dr: we look at ⚺iSuaᒧ⅃y perturbed text through the lens of legibility, collect 30k annotations comparing the legibility of perturbed words, train models to predict legibility, and use the models to successfully attack LLMs.

Spanish missionaries in California dedicate a small chapel by a large bay that they call the Mission San Francisco.

do not let yourself be reduced to the status of audience at a magic show, uncomprehendingly clapping as machine intelligence creates parcels of astounding knowledge. all of this is for us, to be understood by us, to sate our own curiosities. it's all really happening

OpenAI incident reports in 2025: oopsie! ChatGPT says delve a lot 🤭 this crazy guy loves talking about goblins! 🤪 we got it under control though 💪

"how much did that agent run cost" "about Ψ2B" you'll be saying this by 2027

It's a little hard to internalize that the list of things one person can achieve is rapidly growing. You must think big to match what you're truly capable of now

[Joshua Achiam @jachiam0]

A subtle thing: the fear of AI creeps into, and has a mutually-reinforcing relationship with, the language we use to describe it. The word sense for "swarms" to describe multiagent systems, instead of "flocks" or any other more neutral collective, reflects a deep unease.

OpenAI's acquisition of @skybysoftware / @AriX has to be the single most underrated acquisition of this cycle... Codex is still *so* much better at computer use, and it might be the only frontier capability where the lead hasn't changed hands in the last ~6 months?

the ROOM phonebooth is the geography of nowhere, suburban strip mall of corporate america. a call taken from one of these looks exactly the same, no matter where you are.
