Some of the work we've been doing on building an invisible proof-of-human system for the internet

come work with us at roundtable! we're doing cool stuff at the intersection of ml + cognitive science and research + product.

How do people reason while still staying coherent – as if they have an internal ‘world model’ for situations they’ve never encountered? A new paper on open-world cognition (preview at the world models workshop at #ICML2025!)
Yes. Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking. Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.
such a cool project working on a foundation model of human behavior. really excited to see it speed up behavioral research!
Excited to see our Centaur project out in @Nature. TL;DR: Centaur is a computational model that predicts and simulates human behavior for any experiment described in natural language.
Yesterday was a fun day for us at Roundtable. We launched our whitepaper "Proof of Human? Creating an invisible Turing test for the Internet" on Hacker News! Lots of amazing discussion from programmers/hackers all over the Internet. Please continue to watch this space, as we…
Super cool interactive blog post by @RoundtableDotAI examining the usage dynamics between humans and bots. Obviously an important problem, especially if Operator becomes easy to hijack. Great to see a principled study and the differences visualized nicely
We're going strong on Hacker News today. Talk to us if you want to talk Turing Test
roundtable is on the front page of hacker news, currently at #4. help us get it to #1!!
working in this part of san francisco is so good right now busy enough to not feel totally empty, but empty enough so that restaurants and cafes rarely have waits or lines. pretty good rates on office space too
this can't be real lol
There’s a startup called Bernie, which claims to have built a reputation market place, so that you can license out someone else’s credentials when fundraising or whatever. They decline to say whether it’s ethical.
📢 New Preprint: What happens at a population level when humans learn from AI systems that themselves learned from us? We extended the classic "Rogers' Paradox" to explore human-AI learning networks—and found some surprising results! 🤖🧠 (Paper link in 🧵)
