Ok, I was too quick to assume Reginald had left for good. Despite the winter fish-kill in my pond, despite seeing him then leave and wander off into the wetlands a few months ago, despite an absence since, now he's back.

While working on the CRC of our #ICML2026 position against anthropomorphization of LLM intermediate tokens, I can't stop chuckling re-reading my rebuttal to the reviewer who said that my sentences in the submitted version appear "overly AI-generated".. 😄

I think we (as an industry) need to take really hard line on stuff like this. Fabricating quotes that get attributed to someone in a printed book imo egregiously bad behavior.

A big irony: The harder AI companies try to make their products feel like magic genies, the steeper the learning curve gets. "Prompt engineering" may no longer be a thing, but the verification challenge isn't going away — and it requires a *lot* of practice and learning to do well. Hiding the internals (reasoning traces, tool uses, intermediate outputs, memory, ...) makes it harder for users to build an accurate mental model of what is/isn't suitable to delegate, how AI handles complex tasks, what parts are most important to cross-check, etc. Even though hallucinations in a narrow sense are less frequent these days, reliability has become *more* of an issue because agentic AI has rapidly expanded the complexity and stakes of what people are using it for. The majority of workers are acutely aware of AI unreliability as well as other risks like skill erosion. So for the foreseeable future, a black-box user interface will remain a bad idea.

Many people are not actually reading this. Arxiv is -not- banning the use of AI, or papers which used AI to generate proofs, code, etc. They are banning people who upload papers in which the AI content was (very clearly) not actually checked by the human author(s).

This is my grandad, he built the original R2-D2 for the first Star Wars film… Jack was a master sheet metal worker, and was roped into using his skills on an obscure project to turn the sketches for the droid into something that could be constructed out of aluminium sheets. I always knew he'd helped make part of R2-D2. However I only found this photo in recent years and have since learned that he was actually instrumental to the construction of the entire droid, particularly with working out how to machine the complex shapes like the dome and legs out of single sheets of aluminium. He didn't just build one either, he ended up constructing a handful of the droids for various uses in the film. I still have no idea how he did it, especially without modern software and computer-controlled machining. Unfortunately I never got to know him as he died when I was a baby, though I have a feeling we share a lot in common. I also have his old Dragon 32 computer that he was using to learn programming in the 1980s, with reams of hand-written code that still works on the computer. #MayThe4th #maythefouthbewithyou #StarWars

Fully endorse this view. I have some worries about how AI tools will change the profession of mathematics, specifically around training. But the fundamental goal has to be to do good science, and clearly AI tools can help with that.

@hakunamakunana @0ranguchad The reason I do math is because I want to know what is true and understand why that’s the case, and it doesn’t matter to me whether that comes from a human or a machine. You are right that problems being solved spawns more problems, but those new problems are often much deeper!

@willdepue I more or less agree but I think some caution is warranted—clearly mathematics will significantly change but also there has been ~zero impact on questions most mathematicians care about thus far. In a year, who knows.

easily the most important dude in modern biology was a veteran who went to community college and was like "let's just shotgun this and use computers" to sequence the human genome which the entire field of molecular biology had spent a decade and nearly 2 billion trying to do
