A Bottleneck in Automation — LessWrong

Why hasn’t AI automated away more professions? One way of investigating this question is to compare the skills that real jobs require with current AI systems’ capabilities. As long as there’s a gap between these two, full automation is unfeasible. One important limitation is that AI systems cannot yet act coherently over long periods of […]

On the deep (uncurable?) vulnerability of MCPs

Published on July 19, 2025 2:50 AM GMT My background: researcher in AI security. This recent study demonstrates how a common AI-assisted developer setup can be exploited with prompt injection to leak private info. Practically speaking, AI coding tools are almost certainly going to stay, and the setup described in the study (Cursor + MCP

The trolly problems of Psychological practice. — LessWrong

The way I spend most of my day right now is as a student studying neuropsychology. I’m a fourth year, mature age student, and something has come up recently which made me think this community might have something to offer—how do people make choices relating to ethical dilemmas. I’m doing a course with now on

Making of IAN v2 — LessWrong

TL;DR: IAN v1 died expensive TPU death, IAN v2 rises from markdown ashes. Personal AI assistants, knowledge graphs, and the alignment problem when the AI is you. A vacation in 2021 Back in 2021, I used a two-week vacation to [finetune] a large language model on the text I have produced in the last decade

Computational-Statistical Tradeoffs from NP-hardness

arXiv:2507.13222v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A central question in computer science and statistics is whether efficient algorithms can achieve the information-theoretic limits of statistical problems. Many computational-statistical tradeoffs have been shown under average-case assumptions, but since statistical problems are average-case in nature, it has been a challenge to base them on standard worst-case assumptions. In

MUPAX: Multidimensional Problem Agnostic eXplainable AI

arXiv:2507.13090v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robust XAI techniques should ideally be simultaneously deterministic, model agnostic, and guaranteed to converge. We propose MULTIDIMENSIONAL PROBLEM AGNOSTIC EXPLAINABLE AI (MUPAX), a deterministic, model agnostic explainability technique, with guaranteed convergency. MUPAX measure theoretic formulation gives principled feature importance attribution through structured perturbation analysis that discovers inherent input patterns and
