1. @alisongopnik.bsky.social, Cosma Shalizi, James Evans and myself have a new piece in Science on "AI" Large Models, pushing back against much of the collective wisdom about what they can and can't do. Official below, unpaywalled at henryfarrell.net/large-ai-mod... . So why this now?
Large AI models are cultural and social technologies
Implications draw on the history of transformative information systems from the past

Human-AI cooperation is important, but existing work trains on the same 5 Overcooked layouts, creating brittle strategies.
Instead, we find that training on billions of procedurally generated tasks trains agents to learn general cooperative norms that transfer to humans... like avoiding collision

Our new paper (first one of my PhD!) on cooperative AI reveals a surprising insight: Environment Diversity > Partner Diversity.
Agents trained in self-play across many environments learn cooperative norms that transfer to humans on novel tasks.

The transformer was invented in Google. RLHF was not invented in industry labs, but came to prominence in OpenAI and DeepMind. I took 5 of the most influential papers (black dots) and visualized their references. Blue dots are papers that acknowledge federal funding (DARPA, NSF).
