Based takes in the midst of boom-vs-doom shouts in AI safety lately.. esp. agree on the emphasis on "robust compliance" over AI systems. Similar sentiments were raised in RL + Control panels in the recent Harvard NSF RL workshop (https://t.co/aJS8tbFby0).

I received many emails from Iranian prospective PhD students: they want me to evaluate their application and reply. The reason is they cannot afford the application fee 😢 I know @ucsd_cse provides application fee waivers, but it doesn't stop emailing.

Does this happen to you?

Our new textbook Theoretical Foundations of Conformal Prediction is out!

Conformal prediction is a a statistical technique that augments ML systems with uncertainty information for safe deployment. This book lays out the core theory.

Today we're launching PRISM, a new resource to diversify the voices contributing to alignment. We asked 1500 people around the world for their stated preferences over LLM behaviours, then we observed their contextual preferences in 8000 convos with 21 LLMs https://t.co/P7nMKuvT23
