The fantasy pushed by the AI industry is that agents elevate anyone to the position of CEO. In practice, they conscript us into being bot babysitters; middle managers; bureaucrats correcting the mistakes of other bureaucrats. – Adina Glickstein in “User Error,” 🔗 in reply

Our new AI paper reveals surprising geometric structure in the LLM-learned concepts: 1) They form brain-like "lobes", 2) they form "semantic crystals" much more precise than it first seems, and 3) the concept cloud is more fractal than round:

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Yes, I have emphysema from my many years of smoking. I have to say that I enjoyed smoking very much, and I do love tobacco - the smell of it, lighting cigarettes on fire, smoking them - but there is a price to pay for this enjoyment, and the price for me is emphysema. I have now quit smoking for over two years. Recently I had many tests and the good news is that I am in excellent shape except for emphysema. I am filled with happiness, and I will never retire.

I want you all to know that I really appreciate your concern.

Love,

David
