@perimeterinstitute How can a language learning model be tricked? Adam Brown, leader of Blueshift and core contributor of Google Gemini, uses a twist on a classic riddle to "torture" a large language model. The model solves the original easily but fails on a version it hasn't seen, highlighting a signature of how these AIs are trained. Watch the full talk on our YouTube channel to hear Brown discuss recent progress in training AIs to do science and reasoning, and what it will mean for the future of physics if these trends continue.

@danihpayne What major life event do you think is associated with a 30-40% increase in the probability of accessing psychiatric medication and a 150% increase in hospitalisation? It’s not bereavement, losing your job, getting divorced or getting sick - it’s starting a PhD. PhD mental health is an important but under-discussed topic (outside of PhD circles), and the precarity of academic life and lack of financial support for PhD students all contribute to a high stress environment for new researchers. People often ask me if I have done a PhD, and then why I haven’t. I often respond with something along the lines of “because I value my mental health”, and I’m only half joking. Seeing all my closest friends go through that - even the ones that loved it overall and would do it again in an instant! - was enough to put me off. But it shouldn’t be this way! We need to support the new generations of researchers, mentally, financially & structurally, otherwise PhD study becomes a pursuit only for the elite #phdstudent #academia #mentalhealth #university #research
