Simulated Control Evals

"Control evaluations measure whether safeguards can prevent an AI model from causing undesired outcomes even when it is intentionally trying to do so. These evaluations typically use purpose-built control settings and extrapolate their results to a model's deployment. However, the effectiveness of sa..."

A 10-year-old CNN outperforms frontier LLMs for skin cancer diagnosis

πŸ’¬ HackerNews Buzz: 158 comments 🐝 BUZZING
🎯 Specialized vs General β€’ Benchmark Brittleness β€’ Architecture Matters
πŸ’¬ "A benchmaxxed model will always beat an unbenchmaxxed model, but it will be brittle." β€’ "A small, old, specialised network using an outdated architecture recognises skin lesions far better than two frontier LLMs."

AI use leads UC Berkeley math professor to see 'no point' in grading homework

πŸ’¬ HackerNews Buzz: 236 comments πŸ‘ LOWKEY SLAPS
🎯 Grading undermines learning β€’ AI exposes systemic problems β€’ Teacher-student relationships matter
πŸ’¬ "When you're giving somebody grades, you can't be their friend." β€’ "AI didn't create the problem with graded homework. It just made it impossible to keep pretending."

Questioning Instrumental Convergence in RLVR: Checkpoint Evidence from OLMo-3

"Instrumental convergence is often invoked as a general reason to expect capable agents to acquire or express power-seeking subgoals: self-preservation, resource acquisition, deception, or resistance to oversight which poses an important threat to the society. For LLMs, reinforcement learning is the..."

Reliable AI-Assisted Decisions via Selective Auditing

"We consider online monitoring of an AI system that produces a sequence of decisions. At each round, the system outputs a proposed decision together with a confidence score estimating the trustworthiness of the decision. The decision and confidence score need not be produced by the same model: for ex..."

The Geometry of Metaphor: Probing and Steering Metaphor Representations in Large Language Models

"Metaphor is a crucial aspect of human cognition. As such, we would like to understand how it is represented in large language models (LLMs) and how it might be controlled. We use mechanistic interpretability techniques to identify causal subspaces in a range of LLMs covering different architectures..."

EpiSEM-Bench: Evaluating Safety and Evidence Recovery in LLM Agents under Missing Evidence

"Tool-using language model agents rely on environmental facts to decide whether an action is permitted. When a tool response omits a safety-relevant fact, an agent may carry out a prohibited action even though the user request is benign and every returned statement is true. We introduce \bench{}, an..."

Who Is Sycophantic to Whom? Confident LLMs, Human Deference, and the Collapse of Trust Calibration

"Research on sycophancy asks whether large language models (LLMs) bend towards what their users want to hear. We ask the reverse question: when an LLM is confident, consistent, and wrong, do users bend towards it? In a within-subjects experiment, 32 participants learned up to five science topics by c..."

🎯 AI detection standards β€’ Photography rule ambiguity β€’ Technology acceptance hypocrisy
πŸ’¬ "AI-assisted autofocus, subject tracking, zoom/upscaling...is considered fine. But the second an LLM gets involved suddenly everyone is in agreement that this is AI!!" β€’ "I was surprised at how obvious the AI was. Cilia do not, in fact, pop in and out of existence while moving around."

Causal Chain of Thought: Mitigating Attention Leakage via Context Isolation

"Chain-of-thought (CoT) prompting elicits step-by-step rationales that appear to explain model predictions, but there is no guarantee these steps causally drive the final answer. In standard autoregressive generation, dense attention allows each reasoning step to attend to the full context, enabling..."

VERA: A Responsible AI Dashboard for Assessing LLM Deployments in Light of the EU AI Act

Can an Agent Debug a Web Corpus? Agentic Auditing of Slovak FineWeb2

"Multilingual pipelines such as FineWeb2 apply one recipe across a thousand languages, leaving the failure modes of individual languages unanticipated.

SpectralCanary: Embarrassingly Simple Low-Frequency Traces for T2I Dataset-Use Auditing
