We're very excited to welcome Marianna Mattin to our team as a Machine Learning Engineer! Marianna was a leading Machine Learning Intern at MIT Lincoln Lab, and recently graduated from Columbia University.
Our Founding Scientist Ethan Elenberg is in Vancouver for #ICML2025! Find him if you want to catch up and chat about LLMs for code generation and security maintenance tasks.
it appears to be a still from a very clearly ai generated video making the rounds a month or so ago. unfortunately i don’t have a link to that one, it was a factor in blocking an account sharing lots of slop nature videos.

An image welcoming back Stella as a machine learning engineering intern at Permanence
We are very excited to welcome back Stella Tsogtjargal as a ML Engineering Intern for Summer 2025. Stella joined us in December last year, before spending her Spring semester abroad in Japan.
She joins us from Brown University, where she is pursuing dual degrees in Astronomy and Computer Science.
Could someone please gift Elno a copy of Kerbal Space Program and save the wear and tear on the environment?
Expect to see a lot more of these. MCP is not even half baked wrt considerations of security: invariantlabs.ai/blog/mcp-git...
I appreciate the use of good old fashioned string matching with that “yes 1” / “yes 2” response template.
Yeah a stoop of sufficient altitude and a front gate are key for slowing down any retaliation
For me it’s cars ignoring stop signs on residential streets. A major motivation for making money is so we can buy a home with a stoop; I will sit there in my old age and throw noxious substances at vehicles which ignore / threaten pedestrians.
Taken from Sam Landman on FB but not sure if he is the artist. Graphic saying AI is for losers, reject fascism think for yourself. I can make Art that’s ugly and bad all by myself thank you very much
It’s frustrating because it is plausibly useful for generating answers to questions posed with documents retrieved using an actual search algorithm provided it is scaffolded with appropriate checks to force it to cite. But building the complete system takes work and isn’t magic so it is “boring”.
I don’t think I can quite squint hard enough to make pagerank look like a language model. I’d argue that pagerank is substantially more specialized on the specific task vs the general shoehorning that’s done with language models.
This is very bad, y’all.
This is not information I wanted to see today, but it is information I needed to see today. Ugh.
(In this case, the offending feature is suggesting that I have copilot review PRs on a company — not personal — repository, despite not having copilot enabled at the repo level and having turned visibility off in the settings for my account)
Hey @github.com, I get that I’m probably in a test group because at least one colleague is not getting copilot reviewer suggestions, but please:
Give me a button to never see copilot suggestions again. I don’t want it, and my company’s policy (which I help maintain) is that we do not allow it.
Consider this. 6 people in plainclothes approach you, and begin to cover their faces. At least one appears armed. As they grab your phone and backpack, they do not prove who they are. They say they're going to take you, but they're not saying why.
What would you call that?
The text itself is maybe partially human written, but there are very strange shifts in meter and rhyme scheme that are not very human, even in the not-always-well-crafted genre of picture books. Also rhyming mistakes that no author would make, like “were” with “there”.

So now I’m teaching my five year old daughter about AI and how to spot generated pictures. This one is.. very obvious, see eg
This morning I was reading a new book my mother had sent to my kids, and I was surprised, horrified, and fascinated to realize it appears to be entirely, or almost entirely, generated by AI. The pictures are obviously gen ai, and the writing is suspicious as well.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage
Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage
In which the Department of Homeland Security struggles to answer a very simple question: "Is any criticism of the United States government a deportable offense?"
(From NPR here: www.npr.org/2025/03/13/n...)
“Is protesting a deportable event?” —Michelle Martin, not letting go of the question, which DHS Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar cannot answer.
If only. Would also have been nice to have a few more reps being censured beyond Al Green if they had bothered.
The counter-argument is that Hickenlooper's worst-case scenario is indistinguishable from what's already happening
For full alt text, follow pastebin link in next post. Partial text: Amy E. Greer, attorney for Mahmoud Khalil provided the following update this evening: First, importantly, today I spoke to Mahmoud and he is healthy and his spirits are undaunted by his predicament. He also greatly appreciates, and, typically for him, is moved by the extraordinarily broad and steadfast support he has received from a variety of communities that understand what is at stake. He is in ICE custody in Louisiana, and arrangements have been made for local attorneys to visit him today and tomorrow. The remarks by government officials, including the President, on social media only confirm the purpose – and illegality – of Mahmoud's detention. He was chosen as an example to stifle entirely lawful dissent in violation of the First Amendment. While tomorrow or thereafter the government may cite the law or process, that toothpaste is out of the tube and irreversibly so. The government’s objective is as transparent as it is unlawful, and our role as Mahmoud’s lawyers is to ensure it does not prevail. Today Mahmoud's legal team, which includes Kyle Barron, CLEAR, the Center for Constitutional Rights, the American Civil Liberties Union, and Amy Greer filed a motion to compel in federal court in the Southern District of New York, as part of the habeas corpus petition filed on his behalf over the weekend, seeking an order requiring the government to return to New York for any immigration proceedings.
UPDATE on Mahmoud Khalil from his lawyers and his wife: "Today I spoke to Mahmoud and he is healthy and his spirits are undaunted by his predicament." (Legal team now includes ACLU, CCR.)
bruh, you’re not hardcore, have you even pulled an all-nighter in the CS lab?
