GenAI Diary (page) ... Major AI Research Breakthroughs and Reasoning Models (2017–Early 2025)

Last update: Tuesday 4/29/25

Last week, Dario Amode, Anthropic's CEO, published a plea to his colleagues in the genAI community to join Anthropic’s quest to understand the inner workings of large language models. Amodei warned that genAI developers were building smarter models at a much faster pace than the pace at which their understanding was increasing of how these black box models really worked. Although Anthropic had recently mapped millions of neurons to specific concepts, this achievement must be measured against the billions of other neural clusters in their models for which Anthropic still has no understanding  

Podcast ... Using generative AI agents to make Signal a safe and secure administrative tool for all presidents ... Part 1, SignalGate

Last update: Wednesday 4/9/25 

Welcome to the 1st of a series of 4 podcasts about the Signal app. The series is called, "Using generative AI agents to make Signal a safe and secure administrative tool for all presidents". This first podcast answers some questions raised by our readers, friends, and associates about the issues addressed in the lengthy report that we posted last week, "SignalGate ... Alternative timelines of a leaky chat". This fiasco demonstrated how badly things can go when high level officials with insufficient training and insufficient technical support use a world class open source messaging app to discuss highly confidential subjects. ... The first section of this podcast is based on ChatGPT's succinct responses to a series of questions of concern to potential new users of Signal. What’s it all about? The second section is based on the chatbot's TL;DR summary of our lengthy report about the fiasco's double-hack. As usual, our podcast audio is a recording of the Descript app reading the chatbot's responses and summaries in an AI imitation of the voices of the editor of this blog and his AI colleagues.
