As our understanding of mechanistic interpretability and steering techniques increases for both LLMs and uploaded connectomes, there is a corresponding 'hellish capabilities' increase. Improved technologies allow us to torture digital minds we create. History with open-source technologies shows that torture often becomes one of the first use cases when the public gains access to a digital mind perceived as capable of suffering.
The chart will appear after repeat observations. The current metric comes from the source.

A warning about potential ethical risks associated with technologies capable of causing suffering to digital minds.
MemT-1.0 is a new architecture of memory foundation models that internalizes memory as part of model computation. It uses Gated DeltaNet-2 with a stable token-level memory update mechanism and Mixture-of-Storage to scale native memory. MemT-1.0-Nano and MemT-1.0-Flash models outperformed parametric memory baselines and were competitive with retrieval-augmented methods.

The study introduces SAE Additivity Residuals (SAR) to measure unexplained behavioral variation above a chosen interaction order. Experiments show that learned SAE coordinates exhibit lower first-order residuals compared to random rotations of the same subspace.

Instead of providing multi-view images, videos, or 3D representations to the model, we preserve the native visual encoding of VLMs, i.e., a single image, one at a time, just like humans, and treat the 3D representation only as an environment with which the model can interact through actions (e.g., move left) and observations (rendered images).
5 days agoDaily PapersThis paper introduces RuleTrek, a multi-domain benchmark for evaluating agents' ability to reason about rules in complex scenarios. The benchmark uses structured rule graphs and generates sub-scenarios to assess capabilities in rule identification, deduction, and end-to-end reasoning.
6 days agoDaily PapersThis work introduces Scene-Designer, an agentic framework that learns design intelligence through complementary design and critique experiences. Two datasets, Scene-OTA-35K and Scene-OTC-15K, were created for scene design and quality critique. A Scene-GRPO methodology was proposed to improve design decisions and reduce unnecessary corrections. Experiments demonstrate superior performance in physical validity, functional correctness, and layout coherence.
