Thoughtful Things says Engram is a ‘field recorder for latent space’ and circuit-bending tiny AI models.
What are AI hallucinations? Why AIs sometimes make things up
When AI systems try to bridge gaps in their training data, the results can be wildly off the mark: fabrications and non sequiturs researchers call hallucinations.

“Hallucinating” AI models help coin Cambridge Dictionary’s word of the year
Cambridge: "When an artificial intelligence hallucinates, it produces false information."
The brain in the machine: How AI could help explain how we think | IBM
Scientists are using large AI models to predict patterns of brain activity at scale, a development that researchers say is pushing neuroscience toward a new kind of digital imaging.
Latent Spacecraft: Brains, GANs, Finnegans.
Latent Spacecraft combines computational linguistics, neuroscience, and literary analysis to investigate latent space, i.e. the hidden internal structure that enables both humans and machines to produce language. Peeking into AI’s hidden interiority, we parallel speech generation in humans and speech-trained generative adversarial networks (GANs), as well as in the language of Joyce’s Finnegans Wake and the GAN model trained on the novel, FinneGAN.
The Edge of Mathematics
Terence Tao, the legendary mathematician, explains the promise of generative AI.
Inside the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Era of AI in Music
From juicing demos to cloning vocals, AI music tools are creeping into the workflows of top producers, songwriters and artists. It’s mostly happening behind closed doors — for now
‘It has your name on it, but I don’t think it’s you’: how AI is impersonating musicians on Spotify
Fraudulent music streams have long been a scourge for the industry, but experts say generative AI has supercharged it
51 Ways to Spell the Image Giraffe: The Hidden Politics of Token Languages in Generative AI
Generative AI models don't operate on human languages – they speak in **tokens**. Tokens are computational fragments that deconstruct lan...
Generative AI’s crippling and widespread failure to induce robust models of the world
LLM failures to reason, as documented in Apple’s Illusion of Thinking paper, are really only part of a much deeper problem
Generative AI in a Nutshell - how to survive and thrive in the age of AI
AI Was Never About Helping You | Cory Doctorow
The Omg Lol Times · We have to talk about AI “art”
Note: In this post I’m going to use the term “AI” as a lazy shorthand for “generative content creation via large-scale pre-trained models” because time is tight and I’ve got arthritis. I know it’s not really “AI”, but please, let me give my typing fingers a break here.
