(I originally wrote that Gemini removed thinking traces. People in the comments pointed out that they are accessible from a menu, so I did a new tweet. But I cannot believe how useless the thinking traces are. It makes Gemini outputs completely unauditable and thus untrustworthy)

Critique: Gemini hides its thinking traces and provenance
By
–

Google has hidden thinking traces on the Gemini site. You have to use the 3 dot menu to pull up summaries, which are so minimal as to be unusable. Did it do web searches? Did it check results? You can't tell. This makes Gemini unsuitable for any serious work you need correct.

Study: Human persuasion increases LLM compliance to objectionable requests
By

Our paper is out in PNAS: we found classic human persuasion techniques worked on AIs in a "parahuman" way, making them agree to objectionable requests (upping compliance from 35% to 51%) It worked on a range of major LLMs though newer models resist more https://

Agentic engineering raises stakes in AI development

Nick Jablonski at #Rev26: vibe coding lowered the barrier. Agentic engineering raises the stakes. Knowing when humans must stay in the loop, and how to design for it, is the new engineering challenge. #AgenticAI #Rev26

AI Alignment and the Transfer of Human Values
By
–
If humans don’t intrinsically value other humans, then their machines will have even less of an incentive to do so. They are literally learning from us right now, absorbing our values and attitudes.

Une adoption universelle de l'#IA (au même titre que l'électricité ou l'eau potable) est totalement impossible en pratique.

EU AI regulation critique and preemptive harm concerns
By

I don't believe pre agreeing anything works – eg EU did AI regulation which they started drafting before ChatGPT, as a result it is pretty much harmful without any of the benefits. Preparing some framework before we know what the world looks like could be harmful too. For
