1/2 Announcing: A $40M commitment from @xtxmarkets to @GlobTalent Many exceptionally gifted young mathematicians and scientists never get the chance to develop their talents. We are working to change that. GTF and XTX co-founded BIG Talent Scholars in 2023. With this new commitment, we will bring 150 more scholars to the world's top universities.

Is industry doing better than academia at catching AI hallucinations?
From the small but rigorous sample from @NeurIPSConf below: simple answer suggests YES
It's long overdue. Especially in the age of AI slop: we need a better mechanism than peer review experimental-history.com/p/the-rise-and…
Alex Cui@alexcdot
Okay so, we just found that over 50 papers published at @Neurips 2025 have AI hallucinations I don't think people realize how bad the slop is right now It's not just that researchers from @GoogleDeepMind, @Meta, @MIT, @Cambridge_Uni are using AI - they allowed LLMs to generate hallucinations in their papers and didn't notice at all. It's insane that these made it through peer review👇

Hi! After months of trying to find workable wifi in ♾ cafes + squatting with friends, @_CommonMagic is looking for a desk or small office. Ideally Soho or Shoreditch, sharing with like minds.
Bonus if bookable space for workshops + events. DM if you have space going!

@profcikara Genuinely didn't think I could admire Danny more. Now that I know he's the Sima Aunty of you & Carey - I was wrong. I now hold him in even higher regard.
English
So thank you, Danny, for your contributions to science, for being a leader of my beloved field, and for making an otherwise difficult personal situation much, much easier. 🩷 (5/5)
English
Many of you will share tributes today to Danny Kahneman, highlighting how he informed your work or paved the way for your career, and so on.
Today I would like to honor DK for financing my relationship and eventual marriage to @morewedge (1/n)

The new tagline for twitter/X is “Blaze your glory!” I hope they offer a less enthusiastic option for British users. Perhaps something along the lines of “give it a go” or “it is what it is”
