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 🙂

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. Additionally, investors are often instructed to deposit monies into personal bank accounts of individuals who claim to represent a legitimate entity, and/or into an unrelated corporate account. To lend credence and to lure unsuspecting victims, perpetrators usually claim that their entity and/or the investment schemes are approved by financial authorities. Telegram does offer end-to-end encrypted communications through Secret Chats, but this is not the default setting. Standard conversations use the MTProto method, enabling server-client encryption but with them stored on the server for ease-of-access. This makes using Telegram across multiple devices simple, but also means that the regular Telegram chats you’re having with folks are not as secure as you may believe. You may recall that, back when Facebook started changing WhatsApp’s terms of service, a number of news outlets reported on, and even recommended, switching to Telegram. Pavel Durov even said that users should delete WhatsApp “unless you are cool with all of your photos and messages becoming public one day.” But Telegram can’t be described as a more-secure version of WhatsApp. In addition, Telegram now supports the use of third-party streaming tools like OBS Studio and XSplit to broadcast live video, allowing users to add overlays and multi-screen layouts for a more professional look.
