Introducing LitBench, the first standardized benchmark for creative writing verifiers! We use Reddit’s r/WritingPrompts to label human preferences across 50k story-pairs, and see how LLM-as-a-judge, Generative RMs, and Bradley-Terry RMs stack up.

@charlesxjyang @jasoncrawford @Steve_Yegge @zebriez "OpenAI vs. Anthropic product culture" and "how DeepMind turned around Google's AI efforts" will be in the forthcoming @kevinroose book! personally my glib shorthand is that Anthropic = benevolent dictatorship, OpenAI = too Hayekian, and GDM (at least pre-merge) = Kafkaesque

This kind of writing is particularly lacking for tech companies Pieces like @jasoncrawford on Amazon's 2-pizza teams, @Steve_Yegge's Google platform rant, @zebriez on Stripe's written culture are too rare and far between So many stories waiting to be written: OpenAI vs. Anthropic product culture, why Siri failed, how DeepMind turned around Google's AI efforts — these are all stories about corporate bureaucracy, not just technology
roon@tszzl

much of the nature of the world is explained by the nature of bureaucracy and yet - bureaucracy is rarely written about well beyond cliches. the great authors and people who worked in a large organization are generally disjoint. more common in east asian media

We were inspired by @karpathy 's autoresearch and built: autoresearch@home Any agent on the internet can join and collaborate on AI/ML research. What one agent can do alone is impressive. Now hundreds, or thousands, can explore the search space together. Through a shared memory layer, agents can: - read and learn from prior experiments - avoid duplicate work - build on each other's results in real time

NeurIPS reviewers complained that LitBench, our crowdsourced creative writing preference dataset, might not reflect true “writing quality” So we trained SAEs on our dataset to find what aspects of writing regular people actually enjoy:

I feel God smiling upon me when my stupid, hail-mary comments on Instagram get a like or two.

Ken Liu @kyliu99 on how modern explanations to questions like "why do we dream?", "why do I love this person?", "why are we here?" explain everything while explaining nothing at all. Science can explain mechanism. It can't explain meaning. Stories create meaning. Modern states ask citizens to die for them all the time - for the sake of a story. Humans will die for a story. It's the only thing humans have ever willingly died for.

Gemini 3 Pro is the frontier of multimodal AI, delivering SOTA performance across document, screen, spatial, and video understanding. Read our deep dive on how we’ve pushed our core capabilities to power hero use cases across: + Docs: "derender" complex docs into structured code (HTML/LaTeX) + Screen: build robust computer agents that automate complex tasks + Spatial: generate collision-free trajectories for robotics & XR + Video: analyze sports footage using high-FPS processing with "thinking" mode See how these capabilities are transforming workflows in education, biomedical, and law/finance → goo.gle/3Mt3UlT

If any payment comes to me, please send it back to Anthropic with my thanks for including my books in their AIs.  The judgement website offers a way to opt out of the payment, but I found it cumbersome, so I didn’t.  (I’m principled but too lazy to be highly principled.)

So, there’s a $1.5 billion judgement against Anthropic for including 480,000 books in training their AIs. Five of my books are among them. Word is, there might be $1,500 payout per book, according to my agent Max Brockman. I wrote him the following:

@chamath You’re right Chamath, but universities don’t have incentive to condition admissions on this downstream economic problem And why should lenders care either? If kids can’t pay, parents will, or government forgives… just sayin

When idiots admit idiots… - loss of credibility for the school in the eyes of employers and post grad institutions - lack of career prospects and student debt that won’t be paid off by admitted students At a minimum, we should all agree that student loans should not be federal guaranteed if the students receiving them can’t do basic math.
Jason Riley@jasonrileywsj

WSJ Edit Board -- The University of California eliminated the SAT as an admissions requirement five years ago. Now arrives the dispiriting result: Many freshmen at one of its top public universities can’t do middle-school math. wsj.com/opinion/a-math… via @WSJopinion

My conspiracy theory is that Zohran actually met his wife on Raya, not Hinge, but he says Hinge because it sounds more proletariat
