Your homework “won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation” is actually a pretty low bar in a world where the blobfish is supposedly one of God’s creations.

What does the law of human agency tell us about liability for AI agents? We are missing some important things when it comes to alignment post-training.

It looks like my phone is trying to learn my commute. But my regular commute is by bike along bike paths that mostly don’t follow roads. The AI is trying to map my data to roads cars can drive and the result is hilarious.

If you're at #COLM2025 on Friday Oct 10, I'll be giving an invited talk in the Workshop on the Application of LLM Explainability to Reasoning and Planning.
The title is: "Reasoning, Explanation, and Human-Centered AI".
Below I have tentatively diagrammed the flow of my talk.

We observe a rise in AI for games that can be classified as wargames, regardless of domain.
Games with open-ended player actions and open-ended adjudication are the hardest for AI. LLMs are most applicable here. But it requires careful thought or human decision-making can be negatively impacted.

Wargames have a long history, from Chess to Dungeons & Dragons. The characteristics of the game determine how we approach them with AI.
We provide an ontology based on how open-ended player actions can be, as well as how open-ended adjudication (game/dungeon mastering) can be.

"Would you like to play a game?"
"Wargames" are simulations involving adversarial conflict that are used to assist in decision-making.
More than war, they are used for business, geopolitics, emergency response, entertainment, & more.

My TA was making AI-generated solutions to test for cheating and got this result from ChatGPT.
Is ChatGPT now trained to refuse to do school work? Anyone else seeing things like this?
