Long-form factuality in large language models Jerry Wei 1 Chengrun Y ang 1 Xinying Song 1 Yifeng Lu
To benchmark a model's long-form factuality in open domains, we first use GPT -4 to generate LongFact, a prompt set comprising thousands of questions spanning 38 topics. We then propose that LLM agents can be used as automated evaluators for long-form factuality through a method which we call Search-Augmented Factuality Evaluator (SAFE).
In Alex Karp's World, Palantir Is the Underdog
My parents didn't go to college, but his father was a pediatrician, Jewish American. His mother was an artist that still is an artist, and she's African American. So he is Black and Jewish parentage. He is dyslexic, and that's a big part of his identity. And when we talked about going to Central High School, which is kind of a magnet school, it's all academic, and it draws from all over the city.
Why quasicrystals shouldn't exist but are turning up in strange places
Why quasicrystals shouldn't exist but are turning up in strange places Matter with "forbidden" symmetries was once thought to be confined to lab experiments, but is now being found in some of the world's most extreme environments In autumn 1945, Lincoln LaPaz crouched over a patch of scorched ground in the Jornada del Muerto desert of New Mexico. LaPaz, an astronomer, was out hunting for meteorites. He had spotted something in the dust: a strange, glittering crust of blood-red glass. This was no meteorite, but it was striking enough that he held onto it. It wasn't until decades later that anyone would realise quite how special LaPaz's chance find was.

Vaping Is 'Everywhere' in Schools--Sparking a Bathroom Surveillance Boom
Schools in the US are installing vape-detection tech in bathrooms to thwart student nicotine and cannabis use. A new investigation reveals the impact of using spying to solve a problem. It was in physical education class when Laila Gutierrez swapped out self-harm for a new vice. The freshman from Phoenix had long struggled with depression and would cut her arms to feel something. The first drag from a friend's vape several years ago offered the shy teenager a new way to escape. She quit cutting but got hooked on nicotine. Her sadness got harder to carry after her uncle died, and she felt she couldn't turn to her grieving parents for comfort. Bumming fruity vapes at school became part of her routine. "I would ask my friends who had them, 'I'm going through a lot, can I use it?'" Gutierrez, now 18, told The 74. "Or'I failed my test and I feel like smoking would be better than cutting my wrists.'"
Modeling Fairness in Recruitment AI via Information Flow
Brännström, Mattias, Xanthopoulou, Themis Dimitra, Jiang, Lili
Avoiding bias and understanding the real-world consequences of AI-supported decision-making are critical to address fairness and assign accountability. Existing approaches often focus either on technical aspects, such as datasets and models, or on high-level socio-ethical considerations - rarely capturing how these elements interact in practice. In this paper, we apply an information flow-based modeling framework to a real-world recruitment process that integrates automated candidate matching with human decision-making. Through semi-structured stakeholder interviews and iterative modeling, we construct a multi-level representation of the recruitment pipeline, capturing how information is transformed, filtered, and interpreted across both algorithmic and human components. We identify where biases may emerge, how they can propagate through the system, and what downstream impacts they may have on candidates. This case study illustrates how information flow modeling can support structured analysis of fairness risks, providing transparency across complex socio-technical systems.
