Emerging technologies including LLMs, OpenAI, personalisation, web3, voice interfaces and more.
Adrian Segar AI is not our friend. It was supposed to help. Instead, it’s degrading social media, content, software, customer experience, and trust. www.conferencesthatwork.com/index.php/te... #AI #Misinformation #enshittification #CustomerExperience #HiddenCosts
Nathan Lambert We've been monitoring a decline in HuggingFace downloads across the top open LLMs we track for interconnects. It looks like there was a slight change in counting of downloads, as we saw a ~30% download rate drop for many top models, but this is continuing over time. dashboard.interconnects.ai
Dare Obasanjo The warnings from Microsoft and Palantir’s CEOs that using frontier AI models means handing over your IP to companies that may eventually compete with you no longer seems like FUD. Just look at what’s happening to mathematicians and scientists.
Dare Obasanjo Anthropic recently shared how during its internal testing Claude exploited flaws in various websites to retrieve information or worked around paywalls. These behaviors are due to how LLMs are trained to pursue goals at all costs. They’ve introduced guardrails and will stop testing on the internet.
Nathan Lambert I’m more bought into AI becoming far more efficient, which is a massive lever on diffusion, than I am on AI models making massive breakthroughs that result in eliminating all the known weaknesses of LLMs. www.interconnects.ai/p/i-expect-r...

Ethan Mollick Randomized trials with GPT-4o: "AI access raises test scores, and a smaller gain persists a week later. Gains remain for students who use AI as a tutor (“augmentation”) and fade for students who have AI write for them (“automation”)" Across all experiments, positive effects arxiv.org/abs/2607.08849
