Over the past time I collected some interesting mechanistic interpretability papers - trying to understand the information processing in AI systems.
Since I'm not an expert, I delegated some of the work to AI itself 🙃
Why I find it interesting? Well, the field of "AI neuroscience" is emerging. This, firstly, brings two fields closer together (neuroAI doesn't count). Second, I believe both understanding of AI and the brain can be advanced by testing theories on the systems where everything can be measured and controlled.
Of course, LLMs are far from natural biological nervous systems, but I believe there are fundamental information processing principles that are shared.
💡Some insights: > Activations in RNNs mirror the statistics of their input data > Apparently chunking of computations is present akin to brain's hierarchical processing > "Grandmother cell" are real but sparse, distributed processing is more likely to be happening

Have a look, it's fun 🙂

But Kliuchnikov, the Ukranian now in France, said he will use Signal or WhatsApp for sensitive conversations, but questions around privacy on Telegram do not give him pause when it comes to sharing information about the war. Oh no. There’s a certain degree of myth-making around what exactly went on, so take everything that follows lightly. Telegram was originally launched as a side project by the Durov brothers, with Nikolai handling the coding and Pavel as CEO, while both were at VK. "This time we received the coordinates of enemy vehicles marked 'V' in Kyiv region," it added. The next bit isn’t clear, but Durov reportedly claimed that his resignation, dated March 21st, was an April Fools’ prank. TechCrunch implies that it was a matter of principle, but it’s hard to be clear on the wheres, whos and whys. Similarly, on April 17th, the Moscow Times quoted Durov as saying that he quit the company after being pressured to reveal account details about Ukrainians protesting the then-president Viktor Yanukovych. As the war in Ukraine rages, the messaging app Telegram has emerged as the go-to place for unfiltered live war updates for both Ukrainian refugees and increasingly isolated Russians alike.
