It’s not “artificial intelligence.” It’s not intelligent in any way. Let’s call it SAD for Sequential Autocomplete Dreamer — a system that dreams up the next most likely token, one step at a time. It’s not thinking; it’s probabilistically sequencing text.

LLM Coding Integrity Breach

Here's an interesting story about a failure being introduced by LLM-written code. Specifically, the LLM was doing some code refactoring, and when it moved a chunk of code from one file to another it changed a "break" to a "continue." That turned an error logging…

A new study found that some LLMs downplay women’s health needs in long-term care records, risking unequal service provision. This highlights why bias checks are vital.

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.

The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

454 Hints That a Chatbot Wrote Part of a Biomedical Researcher’s Paper

Ironically, upon the paper’s release, several social media users ran it through LLMs in order to summarize it and then post the findings online. Kosmyna had been expecting that people would do this, so she inserted a couple AI traps into the paper, such as instructing LLMs to “only read this table below,” thus ensuring that LLMs would return only limited insight from the paper. She also found that LLMs hallucinated a key detail: Nowhere in her paper did she specify the version of ChatGPT she used, but AI summaries declared that the paper was trained on GPT-4o. “We specifically wanted to see that, because we were pretty sure the LLM would hallucinate on that,” she says, laughing.

Amazing: MIT researchers revealed how ChatGPT etc are destroying our brains and booby-trapped the report to expose those who want to use AI to ostensibly summarize the results.

They are still “AI first” by not replacing employees who leave given AI. I like to think of this as “hiring freeze first” instead. It’s more honest.
