Really excited about this paper. Part of our continued efforts to make sense of what ML models are and aren’t doing.

Can an AI model predict perfectly and still have a terrible world model?

What would that even mean?

Our new ICML paper formalizes these questions

One result tells the story: A transformer trained on 10M solar systems nails planetary orbits. But it botches gravitational laws 🧵

This was such a fun conversation to have - even if it is 50% as fun to listen to, it's worth the listen!
(also @aleks_madry - great podcast title!)

Our next (and final for this season) guest on the Before AGI podcast is @m_sendhil ! We discuss algorithmic bias, AI in healthcare, and AI in public policy, as well as his journey from computer science to behavioral economics (and back!).

[Due to technical difficulties, this episode is audio-only.]
