Had a great time discussing AI user privacy on @augmind_fm ๐ One discussion Iโd like to highlight from the chat is that what constitutes the "Privacy Problem" has been shifting as AI progresses. It used to be that we care a lot about *training-time* user privacy: what gets trained into the model, and what the model would spit out. Say you take an LLM and a book (or any piece of sensitive text). We cared about whether the book would be regurgitated ("memorization"); whether you can remove such a book from the model ("unlearning"); and whether you can detect the book being trained ("membership inference"). And as part of mitigating these problems, we work on training-time techniques like differential privacy, careful data cleaning, and model alignment/guardrails (in ~increasing order of adoption). Guardrails seem to work well enough that people donโt really talk about sensitive model outputs anymore. Whatโs more pressing today, I argue, is *inference-time* user privacy: the fact that intelligent models are served at scale on private user data, which are then centrally managed at model providers. Intelligent models mean that user profiling is now cheap and automatic; your activities can be continuously analyzed to reveal new sensitive insights. Whether your data is trained on or not became less relevant. Having a "digital clone" of you by building on your memory/personalization is now way more profitable. The threat vector changed from the model misbehaving to the provider misbehaving. Because of this, the techniques to improve user privacy would look different than before. Theyโll look less like fancy learning algorithms (e.g. RL to steer model to output paraphrase of a book than the original book), and more like *peripheral systems* sitting around closed models that we do not control but still want to access. The OA project (https://t.co/rOAoavIavT) is an example: you could build a zero-knowledge proxy to mediate AI inference and combat surveillance, and leverage smaller models to help users build personal memory on-device. This is not to say that thereโs no room for training; you just train for different things, and on auxiliary models than the closed models. thank you so much to @EchoShao8899 @michaelryan207 @shannonzshen for hosting me!
โIn the past, with social media or web search, you are like, here are some specific keywords, here are some posts that I am okay to share with the world; whereas with AI, it feels like you are private, it feels like you are talking to an entity that wonโt reveal your information.
AI agents are already going wild, but todayโs red-teaming tools for them are still like toys ๐ข ๐ฅ๐ฝ After spending 20 months and $120K API credits, we are excited to finally open-source DecodingTrust-Agent Platform (DTap): the first controllable, realistic simulation platform for advanced AI agent red-teaming !! ๐ DTap simulates 50+ real-world environments across 14 high-stakes domains, with realistic agent interfaces replicated from their official MCPs and GUIs. The environments are full-stack, interactive, fully parallelizable, and can be easily configured to reproduce arbitrary real-world attack scenarios, making agent red-teaming scalable and highly transferable to deployment settings. ๐ฅWe also release DTap-Bench, a large-scale benchmark with ~7K agent red-teaming tasks and ~4K policy-grounded malicious goals. Each red-teaming task includes a sophisticated attack sequence across environment-, tool-, skill-, prompt-level injections, as well as their compositions, plus a handcrafted verifiable judge that checks the actual consequences in the environment. Using DTap-Bench, we evaluate popular agent frameworks and backbone models across diverse policies, risks, threat models, and attack strategies, revealing systematic vulnerabilities and zero-days in todayโs agents!

To train better open models, we need predictable scaling. Delphi is Marinโs first step: we pretrained many small models with one recipe, then extrapolated 300ร to predict a 25B-param / 600B-token run with just 0.2% error. Getting there took some work ๐งต https://t.co/HmlVFl11ag
Even the biggest tech companies are struggling to keep pace internally with the AI race. Amazon reportedly had to open access to competing coding tools after employees pushed back on relying solely on its in-house solution. That says a lot about the current market. In AI, performance matters more than ecosystem loyalty. https://t.co/NO9PRvhank @futurism
AI may eventually remove most language barriers. But something important could be lost in the process. Language is not just a tool for exchanging information. It carries culture, emotion, humor and ways of seeing the world. Perfect translation may make communication easier while making cultural discovery shallower. https://t.co/8Bw2XzYc9p
The AI boom may become this generationโs โChina shock.โ But instead of transforming global manufacturing, it could reshape knowledge work, productivity and economic power. The gains could be enormous. So could the disruption. https://t.co/LplPGs4a32 @fortunemagazine @sashrogel

Geoffrey Hinton says AI systems can keep improving when they are not limited by human data Like AlphaZero can create endless training data through self-play, and math offers a similar path by letting models generate and test their own conjectures "LLMs could eventually work the same way"
Warren Buffett on not overcomplicating investing: โInvesting is just about assigning yourself the right storyโฆ.โ Buffett says to imagine youโre an experienced journalist specializing in investigative reporting. Your editor hands you an assignment: What is this newspaper company worth? And you need to write the story by the end of the month. What would you do? Buffett: โYouโd go out and interview TV brokers, newspaper brokers, and owners, and youโd try to value each assetโฆโ Thatโs all Buffett does: โThatโs what I doโI assign myself the right story. Itโs nothing more than that.โ
Yann LeCun closed $1.03B for AMI Labs on March 10. Three days later, this paper dropped from his NYU collaborators. 15M parameters. Single GPU. A few hours of training. LeWorldModel is the first JEPA that trains end-to-end from raw pixels. Two loss terms: predict the next embedding, keep the latent space Gaussian. Previous JEPAs needed exponential moving averages or pretrained encoders to avoid representation collapse. LeWM doesn't. Six hyperparameters down to one. The numbers are the story. Foundation-model-based world models require hundreds of millions of parameters and serious compute to plan a control task. LeWM plans up to 48x faster while staying competitive on 2D and 3D benchmarks. The whole thing fits on a laptop GPU. Look at the trajectory. Yann announced his Meta departure in November 2025 after 12 years and called founding FAIR his "proudest non-technical accomplishment." On March 10, 2026, AMI Labs closed the largest seed round in European history at a $3.5B pre-money valuation. Bezos, Nvidia, Samsung, and Toyota all wrote checks. Three days later: a paper showing that JEPA-from-pixels is no longer fragile and no longer compute-heavy. The engineering scaffolding that made it look like an academic curiosity is gone. The authors sit at Mila, NYU, Samsung SAIL, and Brown. None at Meta. Yann's bet was that the path to machine intelligence runs through world models, not language models. He left a public company to build it. Each JEPA paper from his network resets the assumed cost structure for that bet. This one makes world modeling laptop-cheap. Meta still has the GPUs. The architecture left.

AI will transform the workforce. But some companies are already showing how badly that transition can be handled. The future of AI will not only be defined by technology. It will also be defined by leadership and humanity. https://t.co/b9qFQX0Rf4 @andrewrchow @time
AI can help people write faster. But the real danger is losing the struggle that turns thoughts into original ideas and human expression. The future will belong to people who use AI to enhance thinking, not replace it. https://t.co/PKQjxBz4XN
AI generated identical rรฉsumรฉs for a man and a woman. The woman was judged more harshly for using AI, despite the content being the same. The future of AI will not only reveal the power of technology. It will also expose human bias. https://t.co/sS2BrdLgHQ @fortunemagazine
AI is not simply replacing jobs. It is changing how work gets done, which skills matter and how companies are structured. The biggest risk may not be AI itself. It may be failing to adapt to the transition. https://t.co/cU4eQH1gNC

One thing San Francisco has that even San Jose doesn't is tons of events for AI people and @michelleefang keeps track of them. So does my AI at https://t.co/8L5xphk0qQ, mostly by reading Michelle's posts here. In fact, I talk to my agent here since it reads my profile and uses that as extra signal of things to add. So, Braygent, (what I call the agent that creates Aligned News), please add all these to your lists.

I will take concepts from @heyclicky 's Point and Talk interface by @FarzaTV to improve my own work. So I studied the OSS prototype of it to understand how it works. Here's the highlights: ๐๐ก๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐จ๐ข๐ง๐ญ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐๐ฅ๐ค: The chat box isn't a great interface for an LLM. A blue triangle landing on a button is a more natural way to say "click here" than "in the top right, between the search field and the avatar, you'll see a small icon." ๐๐ก๐ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง๐ ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฅ๐๐ฒ: Clicky create an invisible full screen overlay on each window and draws the flying blue triangle on that. Clicks fall through the window, and this window doesn't know what apps are behind it. ๐๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐๐ , ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ซ๐๐ ๐๐ฑ: Clicky uses regex and prompting to get coordinates from the model. I expected some structured output tool calling, but it simply asks the model to put coordinates at the end ๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฌ: Clicky takes one screenshot per monitor (resized and at lower quality) which lets it see the screen and read UI text. It filters out it's own window so it sees what the user sees, minus Clicky ๐๐จ๐จ๐ซ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐ญ๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐ก: Claude returns coordinates in the screenshot's pixel space. Getting the buddy to that spot on the display takes multiple transforms to account for differing coordinate spaces, sizes, multiple monitors, and different coordinate systems in different places. Check out the post for full details: https://t.co/PiKmzraGuk Or try the Clicky product. It's more stable, spawns agents, got google integrations, and more stuff that the OSS prototype doesn't: https://t.co/Z5sT0qe366
I built this thing called Clicky. It's an AI teacher that lives as a buddy next to your cursor. It can see your screen, talk to you, and even point at stuff, kinda like having a real teacher next to you. I've been using it the past few days to learn Davinci Resolve, 10/10. htt

// Scalable Patterns for Agentic AI Workflows // Besides context engineering, we should be putting a lot more system engineering efforts around agents. This paper shows an example of why it matters. (bookmark it) Let's start with an important question: Where does your agentic RAG pipeline actually lose time? It's almost never the LLM call. It's usually the data plane underneath. Serialization between preprocessing, embedding, and vector retrieval, plus coordination overhead between distributed services. New work introduces AAFLOW, a unified distributed runtime that models agentic workflows as an operator abstraction over Apache Arrow and Cylon. A zero-copy data plane connects preprocessing, embedding, and retrieval directly. Resource-deterministic scheduling and async batching cut coordination cost. The result: up to 4.64ร pipeline speedup and 2.8ร gains in embedding and upsert phases, with comparable LLM throughput. None of that comes from LLM inference acceleration. It all comes from cleaner data flow. Paper: https://t.co/9fqkRRsV39 Learn to build effective AI agents in our academy: https://t.co/1e8RZKs4uX
Cool paper from Apple. Most evaluation of tool-calling agents happens after the trajectory is over. By then the wrong call has already shipped. This new paper moves evaluation into the execution loop. A specialized reviewer agent inspects each provisional tool call before it executes. If something is off, it injects feedback and the primary agent revises. To quantify the tradeoff between corrections and new mistakes, they introduce Helpfulness-Harmfulness metrics. Helpfulness measures the percentage of base errors fixed; harmfulness measures correct calls degraded by the reviewer. Results on BFCL: +5.5% on irrelevance detection (84.9% to 90.4%), +1.6% on relevance, all with no retraining of the base agent. On ฯยฒ-Bench multi-turn: +7.1% (48.7% to 55.8%). Reasoning-model reviewers get a 3:1 benefit-to-risk ratio vs. 2.1:1 for GPT-4o. Adding GEPA prompt optimization stacks another +1.5โ2.8%. Why does it matter? You can keep the base tool-calling agent frozen and still ship measurable accuracy gains by improving only the reviewer. Model selection and prompt optimization on the reviewer become real, separable production levers.
