Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"[W]hat we are doing is shepherding AI, limiting it to certain contexts. We are learning where it’s best to call it, how is best to feed it. And what to do with the output. So is it looks very much like an editorial process, an editorial workflow where you provide some initial input, maybe some some idea on what content to produce, then you review it. There’s always that quality assurance, quality control side, the supervision.</p><p>AI is not really autonomous. It relies a lot on us. And I feel like sometimes there are days where, when coding through AIs or doing some assisted writing, I’m spending more time helping out the AI doing the actual task that I’m asking the AI to do. But I take this as a learning process. I read this article the other day, Nobody knows how to build with AI yet. And it was a developer saying that they haven’t quite figured out how to best work with AI. There were lots of comments around the fact that you have to spend lots of time, you have to learn how to talk to it, and when the model changes, you have to also maybe change something you’re doing. You have to learn how to optimize your time. But your presence is always mandatory.”</p><p><a href="https://passo.uno/webinar-ai-tech-writing/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">passo.uno/webinar-ai-tech-writ</span><span class="invisible">ing/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/TechnicalWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechnicalWriting</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LLMs</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Chatbots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Chatbots</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PromptEngineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PromptEngineering</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SoftwareDocumentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SoftwareDocumentation</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SoftwareDevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SoftwareDevelopment</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/TechnicalCommunication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechnicalCommunication</span></a></p>

Do they generalize to other kinds of mathematical problems, to scientific problems, to more general classes of problems? Or can they be extended to deal with these? Or would they be a useful component in a larger system that dealt with these?</p><p>- What was the cost per problem, both for inference time (clearly high) and any domain-specific expertise required for training/augmentation etc and what would the economics of using these models be when it is released?</p><p>- Are these system compatible with tools such as computational tools, coding, and web search?</p><p>- What did the two systems do with problem 6, the one they couldn’t correctly answer? Did they give up, did they produce a partial answer that was in the right direction, or did they hallucinate a nonsensical answer?</p><p>Overall, the new work certainly might be exciting. Until outside scientists get to dig for a serious review we won’t really know for sure what it all means."</p><p><a href="https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/deepmind-and-openai-achieve-imo-gold" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">garymarcus.substack.com/p/deep</span><span class="invisible">mind-and-openai-achieve-imo-gold</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DeepMind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeepMind</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/OpenAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/IMO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IMO</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LLMs</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Chatbots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Chatbots</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Mathematics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mathematics</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Not so long ago, you would be right to question why a seemingly innocuous-looking free “flashlight” or “calculator” app in the app store would try to request access to your contacts, photos, and even your real-time location data. These apps may not need that data to function, but they will request it if they think they can make a buck or two by monetizing your data. </p><p>These days, AI isn’t all that different. </p><p>Take Perplexity’s latest AI-powered web browser, Comet, as an example. Comet lets users find answers with its built-in AI search engine and automate routine tasks, like summarizing emails and calendar events. </p><p>In a recent hands-on with the browser, TechCrunch found that when Perplexity requests access to a user’s Google Calendar, the browser asks for a broad swath of permissions to the user’s Google Account, including the ability to manage drafts and send emails, download your contacts, view and edit events on all of your calendars, and even the ability to take a copy of your company’s entire employee directory.</p><p>Perplexity says much of this data is stored locally on your device, but you’re still granting the company rights to access and use your personal information, including to improve its AI models for everyone else.</p><p>Perplexity isn’t alone in asking for access to your data. There is a trend of AI apps that promise to save you time by transcribing your calls or work meetings, for example, but which require an AI assistant to access your real-time private conversations, your calendars, contacts, and more. Meta, too, has been testing the limits of what its AI apps can ask for access to, including tapping into the photos stored in a user’s camera roll that haven’t been uploaded yet."</p><p><a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/07/19/for-privacy-and-security-think-twice-before-granting-ai-access-to-your-personal-data" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">techcrunch.com/2025/07/19/for-</span><span class="invisible">privacy-and-security-think-twice-before-granting-ai-access-to-your-personal-data</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/CyberSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CyberSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Chatbots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Chatbots</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DataProtection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DataProtection</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Perplexity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Perplexity</span></a></p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Large Language Models (LLMs) are typically presumed to process context uniformly—that is, the model should handle the 10,000th token just as reliably as the 100th. However, in practice, this assumption does not hold. We observe that model performance varies significantly as input length changes, even on simple tasks.</p><p>In this report, we evaluate 18 LLMs, including the state-of-the-art GPT-4.1, Claude 4, Gemini 2.5, and Qwen3 models. Our results reveal that models do not use their context uniformly; instead, their performance grows increasingly unreliable as input length grows.</p><p>Recent developments in LLMs show a trend toward longer context windows, with the input token count of the latest models reaching the millions. Because these models achieve near-perfect scores on widely adopted benchmarks like Needle in a Haystack (NIAH) [1], it’s often assumed that their performance is uniform across long-context tasks.</p><p>However, NIAH is fundamentally a simple retrieval task, in which a known sentence (the “needle”) is placed in a long document of unrelated text (the “haystack”), and the model is prompted to retrieve it. While scalable, this benchmark typically assesses direct lexical matching, which may not be representative of flexible, semantically oriented tasks.</p><p>We extend the standard NIAH task, to investigate model behavior in previously underexplored settings. We examine the effects of needles with semantic, rather than direct lexical matches, as well as the effects of introducing variations to the haystack content.<br>(...)<br>We demonstrate that even under these minimal conditions, model performance degrades as input length increases, often in surprising and non-uniform ways. Real-world applications typically involve much greater complexity, implying that the influence of input length may be even more pronounced in practice."</p><p><a href="https://research.trychroma.com/context-rot" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">research.trychroma.com/context</span><span class="invisible">-rot</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LLMs</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/ContextRot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ContextRot</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Chatbots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Chatbots</span></a></p>
