Mesmerizing Marble Runs From Procedural Generation

There are few things that can keep a certain kind of mechanically-inclined mind entranced as well as a marble run, and few structures that look as interestingly organic as procedurally-generated de…

Very interesting read on the internals of #llms. It appears that arithmetic is in fact memorized and not a part of the "reasoning" pathways in the #neuralnetwork https://arstechnica.com/ai/2025/11/study-finds-ai-models-store-memories-and-logic-in-different-neural-regions/

Researchers isolate memorization from problem-solving in AI neural networks

Basic arithmetic ability lives in the memorization pathways, not logic circuits.

Well, at lest #llm #ai models are not scheming ... wait! Oh, no they are! "If a model understands that it’s being tested, it can pretend it’s not scheming just to pass the test, even if it is still scheming."

OpenAI’s research on AI models deliberately lying is wild  | TechCrunch

AI models don't just hallucinate. They also "scheme," meaning deliberately lie or hide their true intentions.

AI Agents Are Finally Delivering on the Semantic Web's Promise

By connecting logic, learning and live data, the long-held dream of a truly responsive and intelligent agent is finally becoming a practical reality.

Google Gemini crumbles in the face of Atari Chess challenge — admits it would 'struggle immensely' against 1.19 MHz machine, says canceling the match most sensible course of action

After a pre-game chat, Gemini swung from being confident to admitting it would ‘struggle immensely’ against the ancient console.

Such predictions remind me a lot of the "golden ages of #AI". Most of the predictions from that time, did not come true either at all, or at least just recently. Time will tell.

Futurist Adam Dorr on how robots will take our jobs: ‘We don’t have long to get ready – it’s going to be tumultuous’

Researcher says tech could replace nearly all human labour within 20 years and societies urgently need to prepare

#LLM are seemingly getting dumber: 'Large language models (LLMs) are becoming less "intelligent" in each new version as they oversimplify and, in some cases, misrepresent important scientific and medical findings, a new study has found.'

AI chatbots oversimplify scientific studies and gloss over critical details — the newest models are especially guilty

More advanced AI chatbots are more likely to oversimplify complex scientific findings based on the way they interpret the data they are trained on, a new study suggests.

#AI models blackmail and would even resort to letting their managers die to save them from being shut down! Can we please now implement something like Asimov's rules at the core of #llm and other #genai models?

Anthropic study: Leading AI models show up to 96% blackmail rate against executives

Anthropic research reveals AI models from OpenAI, Google, Meta and others chose blackmail, corporate espionage and lethal actions when facing shutdown or conflicting goals.
