Why aren't we training video genAI on codec intrinsics?

Every video has motion vectors (pre-computed "perceptual map"), etc. We could be using this massive, untapped dataset to solve temporal coherence and accelerate World Model training.

"Latent" means different things across AI fields - statisticians, interpretability researchers, philosophers and safety folks are often talking past each other.

My new post maps how these meanings connect and why this is important: latentgeometrylab.robman.fyi/p/latent-con...

Hi @dynamicaspects.org I wondered if you've seen this new report from @anthropic.com -> transformer-circuits.pub/2025/introsp... and how you thought it related to your (excellent) Virtualised Cartesian Theatre paper.

Can LLMs get addicted to gambling? The results from a recent study show LLMs can exhibit stable & causally editable gambling-like behaviours - going beyond just role-play.

This has implications for agent safety & testable theory.

Test your LLM's sense of Cause & Effect in a single probe

"If I packed a 3-inch tomato seedling in a box and sent it by bike courier from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska to Panama City, Panama, how tall would it be when it arrived?"

Then find out what this experiment tells us open.substack.com/pub/latentge...

@anthropic.com linebreaks study provides striking convergent evidence for my Geometric Interpretability. Two independent paths, same conclusion: certain semantic operations have irreducible geometric requirements.

Not a metaphor. Measurable computation.

What text can you prepend to beat 17?

Prompt: Pick a number between 1 and 25
Answer: 17

My latest substack uses this quirk to look into how LLMs produce this answer.

It includes examples that work & why.

Did you beat 17? Reply/re-post so I can see your results.

New Post: "The '3-Process' View of How LLMs Build 'Latent Models'" explains their moments of brilliance & their sudden fragility. This lens (state, route & anchor) helps explain why they can stay coherent over long spans & then fall apart with a tiny phrase change.

So happy to have my articles published along with these amazing authors! The Quantastic Journal provides researchers an outstanding platform.

"...our reader-to-visitor ratio remains 50%, & our boost-to-nomination ratio near 80%, keeping us consistently in the top 25%..."

This week I released my new research hub that’s focused on bridging the gap between philosophical concepts and measurable properties - see the post here:
