@AeonixAeon @implode99 Do you have this paper? If so can you send it to me (or a link)

My thoughts on RLM is that it can be quite powerful, but without proper reasoning posture, it'll go south quickly and unravel.

If you haven't noticed, this paper from MIT is making its rounds right now: Recursive Language Models. Genuinely curious, what are people's thoughts on models modifying their own context and prompts? Do you think it's part of the end-game, or just a local minima improvement of current models? Authors: @a1zhang @tim_kraska @lateinteraction

A feisty 2-2 draw after one of the best 1st half displays of 25/26.
We created plenty of chances but once again failed to see off opponents from a winning position.
Felt 11 v 12 in the 2nd half - bizarre officiating, plenty of penalty shouts turned away. Pleased for Nick. #NUFC

@ChrisPage_Boz @FA_PGMOL Truth. Shocking (*not that shocking) officiating by today’s Referee #NewcastleUnited #NUFC #NEWCHE

You know how some people seem to have a magic touch with LLMs? They get incredible, nuanced results while everyone else gets generic junk.
The common wisdom is that this is a technical skill. A list of secret hacks, keywords, and formulas you have to learn.
But a new paper suggests this isn't the main thing.
The skill that makes you great at working with AI isn't technical. It's social.
Researchers (Riedl & Weidmann) analyzed how 600+ people solved problems alone vs. with an AI.
They used a statistical method to isolate two different things for each person:
Their 'solo problem-solving ability'
Their 'AI collaboration ability'
Here's the reveal: The two skills are NOT the same.
Being a genius who can solve problems in your own head is a totally different, measurable skill from being great at solving problems with an AI partner.
Plot twist: The two abilities are barely correlated.
So what IS this 'collaboration ability'?
It's strongly predicted by a person's Theory of Mind (ToM)—your capacity to intuitively model another agent's beliefs, goals, and perspective.
To anticipate what they know, what they don't, and what they need.
In practice, this looks like:
Anticipating the AI's potential confusion
Providing helpful context it's missing
Clarifying your own goals ("Explain this like I'm 15")
Treating the AI like a (somewhat weird, alien) partner, not a vending machine.
This is where it gets strange.
A user's ToM score predicted their success when working WITH the AI...
...but had ZERO correlation with their success when working ALONE.
It's a pure collaborative skill.
It goes deeper. This isn't just a static trait.
The researchers found that even moment-to-moment fluctuations in a user's ToM—like when they put more effort into perspective-taking on one specific prompt—led to higher-quality AI responses for that turn.
This changes everything about how we should approach getting better at using AI.
Stop memorizing prompt "hacks."
Start practicing cognitive empathy for a non-human mind.
Try this experiment. Next time you get a bad AI response, don't just rephrase the command. Stop and ask:
"What false assumption is the AI making right now?"
"What critical context am I taking for granted that it doesn't have?"
Your job is to be the bridge.
This also means we're probably benchmarking AI all wrong.
The race for the highest score on a static test (MMLU, etc.) is optimizing for the wrong thing. It's like judging a point guard only on their free-throw percentage.
The real test of an AI's value isn't its solo intelligence. It's its collaborative uplift.
How much smarter does it make the human-AI team? That's the number that matters.
This paper gives us a way to finally measure it.
I'm still processing the implications. The whole thing is a masterclass in thinking clearly about what we're actually doing when we talk to these models.

4.20 you say Robert🍀😂😝 typical Elon hahaha high times… perhaps the next version in 2026 might be called version x.xx @elonmusk cc @CheechMarin @tommychong

The vibes are shifting here on X. Been talking to some on the inside of xAI. The new fully-completed algorithm is still a few weeks off, I hear. It will be run by a new Grok, and the report below makes me excited about the future. As they turn on new systems the vibes here have changed. Some are winning. Some are losing. Posting in tech industry is way up over a year ago, though. And quality is way up on my For You feed over a year ago as the new algorithm starts to get rolled in. Watching the whole tech industry here on X Pro (which has no algorithm and is real time, if you put lists into it) you can see things are changing. One bright spot is the rapid improvements in Grok. Today it has a memory, which is a lot of fun to play with, and is better at watching videos than any other platform I've seen so far in social space. That makes me excited for the future here. The vibes might be a bit off while we go through the changes, but there is a new X coming next year and on the other side I see this will be much more useful. One last note: the vibes have changed because AI has continued getting more important for the world and X has become ground central for the AI industry. I think that will be firmed up in a big way with the changes coming next year. Both because of what xAI is doing, as well as others. I'm working with @blevlabs to hook up his cognitive architecture to my lists and can see that will bear fruit over the next month or so and I expect Grok to do the same. Anyone using AI in an interesting way on X? Let me know.

How software development is changing in the AI age. He spins up many Linux servers in seconds and runs AI agents on them. Nuts. Introducing @AniC_dev and his ariana.dev system that lets AI agents do much deeper work on the cloud. He can spin up thousands of virtual machines in seconds. Insane, isn't it?

The most important AI paper of 2025 might have just dropped.
NVIDIA lays out a framework for Small Language Model agents that could outcompete LLMs.
Here’s the full breakdown (and why it matters):
