It's neat to see them encourage developers to add ARIA tags to pages though, an "agent" can be thought of as effectively another form of assistive technology

There was one other detail in the announcement post that caught my eye:

Website owners can also add ARIA tags to improve how ChatGPT agent works for their websites in Atlas.

Which links to this:

ChatGPT Atlas uses ARIA tags---the same labels and roles that support screen readers---to interpret page structure and interactive elements. To improve compatibility, follow WAI-ARIA best practices by adding descriptive roles, labels, and states to interactive elements like buttons, menus, and forms. This helps ChatGPT recognize what each element does and interact with your site more accurately.

A neat reminder that AI "agents" share many of the characteristics of assistive technologies, and benefit from the same affordances.

VQA challenge series won the Mark Everingham prize at #ICCV2025 for stimulating a new strand of vision-and-language research.

It's extra special because ICCV25 marks the 10-year anniversary of the VQA paper.

When we started, the idea of answering any question about any image seemed outlandish.

PCs should release statistics about the discussion period (turn interactions, etc.) to properly assess this idea 💡

One idea for improving reviews at conferences is to assign one reviewer as a champion by default. Their role is to find every possible reason to accept the paper.

I find reviewers often spend most of their time focusing in on what is bad in a paper. This is useful! But more often than not

🧠 Can large language models build the very benchmarks used to evaluate them?
In “What Has Been Lost with Synthetic Evaluation”, Ana Marasović (@anamarasovic.bsky.social) and collaborators ask what happens when LLMs start generating the datasets used to test their reasoning. (1/6🧵)

Effective knowledge transfer is about building clear bridges between theory and application. Using interactive tools and real-world examples helps students see why it matters—and that's when true engagement happens. 💡 #teaching #ItzikThoughtLoop

How much data people use to train tokenizers nowadays? Trying to figure out, but so often people just use a trained tokenizer, so a bit tricky

💯. Now, I feel that we need to push the new generation of AI researchers to

Brookenize everything. By that I mean, design & develop adaptable intelligent agents/systems/algorithms that run on any device (as seamless as possible) not just in GPU, on-device ubiquitous AI 🚀

Victor Escorcia @escorciav.bsky.social · 22d

Even bolder alternative, it's the Brookism

Intelligence doesn't need a representation. It could emerge from an embodied autonomous system, perception -> action loop

🔞 Platforms have no excuse to continue practices that put children at risk.

We’ve asked Snapchat, YouTube, Apple App Store and Google Play for more information on the measures they have in place to protect minors.

The online safety of children is a top priority ↓

A young girl in a white dress is playing hopscotch on a grid made of emoji faces showing different emotions, such as happy, sad, angry, and crying, on a soft purple background. The image symbolises children navigating emotions and experiences in the digital world. The text “#DigitalEU” appears at the bottom.
