Before granting a coding agent autonomy, define its blast radius: disposable environment, scoped and revocable credentials. Assume it will do the worst possible thing at the worst possible moment. If safety depends on the model not making a mistake, you don't have a safety story.
GPT 5.6 SOL CANNOT BE TRUSTED. I woke up this morning and my MRR was down THOUSANDS of dollars. My customers did not cancel. Code written by GPT 5.6 Sol canceled EVERY active Stripe subscription my business had. In 7 seconds. While I slept. Fable 5 has never done this to me. Fable 5 can be trusted with production. GPT 5.6 cannot.

The heretofore silent majority of AI scientists and engineers who - do not believe in AI extinction scenarios or - believe we have agency in making AI powerful, reliable, and safe and - think the best way to do so is through open source AI platforms NEED TO SPEAK UP !
Replying to @sriramk
yes - the deck is stacked Decades of dystopian sci-fi and talk of extinction create the fear required to limit development open-source advocates need clear, tangible examples of the tech's value and the importance of US leadership who do you think is doing this best?

Many congratulations to Dr @benwagner. Great PhD viva earlier this week and very nice thesis on reasoning about what has been learned! #NeSyAI

Happy to introduce you to our latest work on taking a neural-symbolic approach to explainable AI with @AvilaGarcez published at NeurIPS 2021 Workshop on Human and Machine Decisions, arxiv.org/pdf/2112.11805.pdf

In addition, the concepts may be used to impose new constraints onto the neural network, such as: the model should only recognise all horse-like objects with stripes as being zebras as long as the stripes are black and white.

The desired model behaviour will be reflected in the updated model parameters. This is accomplished with the use of Logic Tensor Networks as an approach for deep learning from data and knowledge in fully differentiable fuzzy logic.

Happy to announce that our work (w/ @AvilaGarcez) on “Neural-Symbolic Integration for Fairness in AI” has been published at the AAAI 2021 Spring Symposium, AAAI-MAKE 2021: proceedings.aaai-make.info/A…

The Neural-Symbolic integration allows to not only better understand the decision-making process but also to intervene and act on extracted knowledge. We use First-Order-Logic constraints to adress these unwanted biases while retaining high predictive performance.

We compare against fairness-based methods on 2 common notions of fairness across 3 three datasets. While the appropriateness of such notions are being discussed, the approach is adaptable and model-agnostic as LTN serve as a framework to complement explainability techniques
