Inadvertently hopped into a wrestling stance to fit everyone into a selfie w/o getting too close. Today, we had particularly good turn-out, with students, staff, faculty deans, & professors converging on the Yard to enjoy the simple pleasure of running together.#harvarduniversity

wait, you’re telling me superman was always woke? (circa 1949)

I debated whether to share my story on here, but I guess I will. I think there's an idea out there that millions of violent criminals are pouring across the border, carrying machetes and drugs, looking to harm Americans. Certainly, while some people fall into that category, the…

🚨 New study reveals that when used to summarize scientific research, generative AI is nearly five times LESS accurate than humans. Many haven't realized, but Gen AI's accuracy problem is worse than initially thought.

It's information theory all the way. This is basically how I teach LMs. Ngrams (lm-class.org/lectures/05%20…) -> and gradually build transformers from them by removing the Markov assumption (lm-class.org/lectures/07%20…)

I'll be presenting our 🏆 #CHI2025 paper on using Variation Theory of human learning and Structural Alignment Theory of sensemaking for co-adaptive machine teaching. @TobyJLi @roboticwrestler

Last night’s article in the Washington Post about D.C. police responding to a 911 call by illegally letting DOGE onto private property is unlike any news story I have ever read. Every single person should read this article and think about where our society is going.

There is a field experiment showing this exact effect. Introducing GPT tutors increases performance by *a lot*--students seem to be picking up the material much faster--but when GPT is removed those who had access perform *much worse* compared to those w/o access. 1/4

📢CHI'25 workshop: Tools for Thought: Research and Design for Understanding, Protecting, and Augmenting Human Cognition with Generative AI 🌐aka.ms/toolsforthough… 🗓️Submission deadline: Feb 13, 2025 AoE

The US is an outlier in road deaths. We mandate parking at bars, bicycle shops and braille book shops. Zoning separates uses and requires driving for simple errands. Road design standards prioritize car throughput and even storage over human mobility, health, safety and life.
