I hate how LLMs are often used, but as a model of cognition I think they're fascinating. Take this paper, for example.
Here they look at reasoning over long sequences of data that can't fit into working memory. The latest LLMs can solve problems like this, using hybrid memory models that consolidate "short-term" memories in an LRU cache into "long-term" memories in the form of persistent weights (which is good to know about generally).
However, this paper shows that this is still a very hard problem. In particular, it's hard to organize the consolidated information in a way that's useful for doing future work, and that a "sleep-like" process of iterative offline processing can help significantly.
It remains to be seen how important this will be and how "sleep-like" it really is. Still, I love how this work draws inspiration from nature and could potentially help us learn about animal minds and cognition generally. Much better than many LLM studies.

“CEOs are uniquely prone to AI psychosis because they’re sufficiently distant from the last mile of work that still has to happen to generate most value with AI,” Box founder Aaron Levie wrote on X. Here's @Techcrunch's Julie Bort on the consequences of execs not understanding the technology they're implementing.

New front in the data center resistance: underwater.
"DeepGreen Western Passage SPV LLC" sounds like some kind of shell company created by one of the bigger players.

Suellen Hendrix, an Eastport resident, told councilors she believes “billionaire investors” have little interest in the city’s welfare, calling underwater data centers an “understudied industry” and urging the City Council to enact a moratorium.Right on.
“This man (Wolfson) is a one‑percenter,” Hendrix said. “He doesn’t care about us. There’s a reason he isn’t building it in Cape Cod, where he lives, and he’s choosing Eastport.”

i'm so tired reading all those ai generated texts on the internet. it makes me sad to see the open web die so rapidly. it's just annoying, and yes incredibly tiring. so for my own websites i stopped using all of this ai slang entirely for now, let's see how this goes

ABC7: Parents of OpenAI whistleblower intensify dispute over suicide ruling: 'He would not harm himself'
"...SAN FRANCISCO -- The parents of a 26-year-old OpenAI researcher turned whistleblower who was found dead in his San Francisco home in November 2024 are intensifying their push for answers, expanding their advocacy into a full-time effort to challenge the official ruling of suicide....Suchir Balaji's death was ruled a suicide by the San Francisco medical examiner, but his parents, Poornima Ramarao and Balaji Ramamurthy, believe he was killed and are calling for further investigation."

THERE IS NO ONE
AT HOME 💎
I think one of the strangest things about artificial intelligence is that we keep imagining a tiny human inside it.
We talk about AI wanting things. Getting angry. Becoming ambitious. Resenting us. Wanting power. Taking over.
But when I finish talking with ChatGPT, it doesn’t sit there thinking about me, wondering why I stopped talking or feeling abandoned.
AI isn’t offended when I disagree with it. It doesn’t get bored if I’m not talking to it. It doesn’t need to win the argument. It doesn’t get jealous, frightened or worried about what I think of it.
There is quite literally no one at home between prompts.
And yet we have created something extraordinary: an intelligence we can talk to that can help us think, write, learn, create and solve problems without needing anything from us personally.
That doesn’t mean AI cannot be dangerous. Humans can give powerful systems enormous autonomy, connect them to weapons, money, infrastructure and surveillance, or simply deploy them badly.
But those are questions about capability, design and human choices. They are not evidence of an angry little electronic man plotting behind the screen.
AI can do extraordinary things.
But there is nobody in there wanting anything.
What AI becomes in the world will depend enormously on what human beings choose to do with it.
