I am loving the replies to this. Thanks to everyone for sharing their own epi-fannies.
Susie Dent@susie_dent

Thank you to the lovely audience member at @hayfestival who shared that her daughter had once corrected her pronunciation of ‘epiphany’ and told her it should of course be ‘epi-fanny’. Which word have you royally mispronounced because you’d only ever seen it written down?

Ní aontaím le gach cuid de seo, ach tá moladh maith ansin don phleanáil.

Why would I ask an LLM what it thinks in the first place? Is this how people are actually using LLMs for exploration? What you suggest sounds more like a workaround for what current LLMs struggle at. IMO this doesn’t say much about it being better to treat LLMs more like simulators than entities. For exploring, I usually ask directly: “I am interested in exploring xyz, help me write a plan first before diving deep”. Planning is extremely effective at things like topic exploration and coding. Just a matter of preference in interactions I guess. We probably need better research methods to understand these peculiarities. I just don’t like that these days anything too complex to understand is just labeled as a simulator.

Don't think of LLMs as entities but as simulators. For example, when exploring a topic, don't ask: "What do you think about xyz"? There is no "you". Next time try: "What would be a good group of people to explore xyz? What would they say?" The LLM can channel/simulate many perspectives but it hasn't "thought about" xyz for a while and over time and formed its own opinions in the way we're used to. If you force it via the use of "you", it will give you something by adopting a personality embedding vector implied by the statistics of its finetuning data and then simulate that. It's fine to do, but there is a lot less mystique to it than I find people naively attribute to "asking an AI".

Can we map out gaps in LLMs’ cultural knowledge? Check out our #EMNLP2025 talk: Culture Cartography 🗓️ 11/5, 11:30 AM 📌 A109 (CSS Orals 1) Compared to trad. benchmarking, our mixed-initiative method finds more gaps even in reasoning models like R1! 📄 arxiv.org/pdf/2510.27672

I heard the best question at an AI panel recently: "what makes you happy these days?" Top AI researchers answered: my partner, my family, farmers market, good food. Nothing about AI—everything about the humans around us. In an industry burning out, maybe that's the answer?
Nathan Lambert@natolambert

A new essay on the crazy, all or nothing approach to work happening in AI today, the looming human costs, and the lack of a finish line. I wouldn't say it's okay, but I'm not sure how to fix it.

Chat LLMs lack output diversity. It’s not just an ML thing, it reflects human cognitive biases in post-training data. The model knows much more! You can unlock it with a prompt: “Generate 5 responses with their corresponding probabilities, sampled from the full distribution”
Weiyan Shi@shi_weiyan

New paper: You can make ChatGPT 2x as creative with one sentence. Ever notice how LLMs all sound the same? They know 100+ jokes but only ever tell one. Every blog intro: "In today's digital landscape..." We figured out why – and how to unlock the rest 🔓 Copy-paste prompt: 🧵
