Did anyone else notice a move of generic AI slop to platforms like Zenodo? I used to get endorsement requests for arXiv, which I did not feel comfortable with, and now I am noticing more and more "weird stuff" (consciousness + topology + quantum whatever) hosted on Zenodo.

New blog post: Some Comments on “Magnifica Humanitas”
In which I comment on the recent encyclical by Pope Leo XIV from the perspective of a machine learning researcher.

Is it an unwritten rule that frontier AI companies have to pick their name out of Tolkien's legendarium? What comes after "peak Tolkien?" Star Wars? Game of Thrones? Something else?

About
Doing #geometry and #topology for fun, and getting paid for it. Topology may not save the world, but it may well save something that is at least homotopy-equivalent to the world.
Originally a mathematician, I am now happily doing #MachineLearning research with a focus on principled methods for applications in the life sciences.
Passionate about mathematics, software development, and improving academia.
