Major preprint just out! We compare how humans and LLMs form judgments across seven epistemological stages. We highlight seven fault lines, points at which humans and LLMs fundamentally diverge: The Grounding fault: Humans anchor judgment in perceptual, embodied, and social experience, whereas LLMs begin from text alone, reconstructing meaning indirectly from symbols. The Parsing fault: Humans parse situations through integrated perceptual and conceptual processes; LLMs perform mechanical tokenization that yields a structurally convenient but semantically thin representation. The Experience fault: Humans rely on episodic memory, intuitive physics and psychology, and learned concepts; LLMs rely solely on statistical associations encoded in embeddings. The Motivation fault: Human judgment is guided by emotions, goals, values, and evolutionarily shaped motivations; LLMs have no intrinsic preferences, aims, or affective significance. The Causality fault: Humans reason using causal models, counterfactuals, and principled evaluation; LLMs integrate textual context without constructing causal explanations, depending instead on surface correlations. The Metacognitive fault: Humans monitor uncertainty, detect errors, and can suspend judgment; LLMs lack metacognition and must always produce an output, making hallucinations structurally unavoidable. The Value fault: Human judgments reflect identity, morality, and real-world stakes; LLM "judgments" are probabilistic next-token predictions without intrinsic valuation or accountability. Despite these fault lines, humans systematically over-believe LLM outputs, because fluent and confident language produce a credibility bias. We argue that this creates a structural condition, Epistemia: linguistic plausibility substitutes for epistemic evaluation, producing the feeling of knowing without actually knowing. To address Epistemia, we propose three complementary strategies: epistemic evaluation, epistemic governance, and epistemic literacy. Full paper in the first reply. Joint with @Walter4C & @matjazperc

Huge congratulations to the Neptune team on their acquisition by OpenAI. It’s an incredible milestone and well-deserved. For any customers affected by the shutdown of their services, wandb is ready to help ensure your experiments and workflows continue without interruption.

RL X-mas came early. 🎄 For too long, building powerful AI agents with Reinforcement Learning has been blocked by GPU scarcity and complex infrastructure. That ends today. Introducing Serverless RL from wandb, powered by @CoreWeave! We're making RL accessible to all.




🚀 Fully Connected 2025 • SF • June 17‑18 Day 1: hands‑on labs with safe LLMs, multi‑agent orchestration & deploy‑today fine‑tuning. Day 2: AI Pioneer Series w/ @metaai, @GoogleAI, @Adobe, @CoreWeave, @windsurf_ai, @Pinterest, @Snowflake + more. Get your ticket below!



We reproduced DeepSeek R1-Zero in the CountDown game, and it just works Through RL, the 3B base LM develops self-verification and search abilities all on its own You can experience the Ahah moment yourself for < $30 Code: github.com/Jiayi-Pan/Tiny… Here's what we learned 🧵

My o1-based AI programming agent is now state of the art on SWE-Bench Verified! It resolves 64.6% of issues. This is the first fully o1-driven agent we know of. And we learned a ton building it.

New post re: Devin (the AI SWE). We couldn't find many reviews of people using it for real tasks, so we went MKBHD mode and put Devin through its paces. We documented our findings here. Would love to know if others have had a different experience. answer.ai/posts/2025-01-…
