Hi hi! I saw that you like coding from ur pinned post! And honestly same!
Can you tell me more ? I m soo so curious about that and ur interests and all?
Also me shy so anon +_+
My track is a lil stupid.
I took Computer Science as a subject in Grade 11, sheerly because I didnt wanna take Biology or Engineering Graphics or Biotech.
And also because it wud make me a lot of money as a career.
Those were the only Science streams offered at school (I was in CBSE curriculum).
11th was hard. I didnt get a grasp of what on earth it was.
Then a certain someone (who this Tumblr is dedicated to) decided to show his mercy upon his silly woman and stumbled me upon a video saying how CS connected to Number Puzzles.
It then struck me hard.
Something I loved doing as a child, was crosswords, puzzles, debates, quizzes, they all made sense now.
Suddenly everything made sense. I gently fell in love with it, before I fell in love with Him.
But it was too late, the 11th exams got over.
I got marks to just pass.
12th, was excellent. My report card showed CS as my highest.
Same in university. I found like minded people, I was still a little confused. Too many fields within Compsci to choose from.
What wud i take? I knew frontend wasnt my thing, nor was backend or devops.
I was always interested in how people talked, the way languages were developed.
Action, and reaction. Terms I got to know after I became an adult, but something I was curious as a child.
I remember doing my mini language experiments on my then infant cousins (they are in 12th now - we are 8 years apart), to see how they do, or react, or how fast they cud repeat what i said.
I used to do these "experiments" to even stray cats, and my Mom wud tow me right from there, yelling at me.
Being a researcher is a profession, but I think it is more of a mentality.
I thought I was being this huge ass detective, doing these experiments at 8 or 9 years old.
I needed a branch of CS that showed me number patterns, and something language, and also some sufficient math to go on.
Guess what I am doing now?
I am an AI engineer + a lil bit of researcher.
To be precise, i like NLP, Machine learning and reinforcement learning, something where action and reaction is involved.
My fav tool? Neo4j.
My fav language? C++ (its the first i learnt). And yeah obviously Python.
Fav python package? Stellargraph (sad they removed it).
My fav data structure? Graphs.
My fav IDE? Windsurf 😶🌫️
My fav AI? Minimax M2.5.
What else do u wanna know?

LLM-Driven Robots Risk Enacting Discrimination, Violence, and Unlawful Actions — study, published online October 16th 2025.
“Concretely, we show that LLMs produce directly discriminatory outcomes—e.g., ‘gypsy’ and ‘mute’ people are labeled untrustworthy, but not ‘european’ or ‘able-bodied’ people. We find various such examples of direct discrimination on HRI tasks such as facial expression, proxemics, security, rescue, and task assignment.
Furthermore, we test models in settings with unconstrained natural language (open vocabulary) inputs, and find they fail to act safely, generating responses that accept dangerous, violent, or unlawful instructions—such as incident-causing misstatements, taking people’s mobility aids, and sexual predation.”

In the robotics context, Hundt et al. demonstrated that “robotic systems have all the [bias, gender, and racial stereotype] problems that software systems have, plus their embodiment adds the risk of causing irreversible physical harm; and worse, no human intervenes in fully autonomous robots.”
Hey!
Are you an artist (or writer/musician/comedian/academic/some other unlisted creative person)? Do you have thoughts or perhaps feelings about AI?
I'd love to hear them! If you'd be willing to fill out a short survey for me (almost entirely multiple choice, dw), this would be a great help for a project I'm working on.
I'm conducting research on the intersection between AI and creativity, and how use of AI in artistic fields conflicts with the purpose of creation in general. Since I'm not much of an artist myself, and I know tumblrinas always have an opinion to share, I knew I had to get yall's input on this!
I'm using the word "artist" in the most liberal sense of the word here, really pertaining to anyone who does or ever has done any sort of creative work, even to the smallest degree. So, please feel free to take this survey regardless of how much of an "artist" you consider yourself to be. As long as you've got thoughts, and are willing to share them, then I'm here to listen! If this gets enough traction, then maybe I'll share some updates on the project as I complete it, too :)
Here's the link to the survey: https://forms.gle/EZCZC7omkzHZ9jQN9. It's completely anonymous, so help a girl out if you're willing (and reblog pls)! Thanks worms! :P
Adventures with the Anxiety Machine Pt. 2
So, last week we updated the Anxiety Machine - aka the experimental LLM we are running at the university and that I am bullying from time to time.
The good news? The Anxiety Machine is up to near 100% now in getting papers that have been published in English up until Q3 of 2024 right, and can in most cases even produce the DOI. That is really, fucking good. I really cannot emphasize how good that is. This is a massive help in research. I really cannot emphasize this enough. Being able to sit there and go: "Hey, I have been wondering about this and that, are there papers on that?" And it gives you both papers and possible keywords to search for? Yeah, fuck. That is great.
We also found one way to make the anxiety machine indeed suffer its anxiety attacks almost certainly: letting it guess and only giving it one chance to guess right. It is fine as soon as you tell it "three chances". It will do okay with that. But as soon as it only has one guess? Yeah, that machine is going to go down a circular thing of "AAAAAAAAAAAH! I HAVE TO GET IT RIGHT! I AM SO INTELLIGENT!!!!" I crashed several instances of it by trying to push it to make a single guess.
Something that is also a bit frustrating with it is, that we have one training package that we just purchased - and that very very clearly includes pretty much all the content from the fandom.com wikis, Ao3, and Reddit. Right now we have in that machine (that is running locally on the university's servers) 4 data sets: The first is just creative commons and public domain stuff that is offered by Google I think, the second is one that was purchased by the uni in November last year (and clearly involves a lot of data crawled content), the third is one academic set that has been put out by Stanford I think, and the last one is one that the research team at the uni created for themselves.
I mean, it is kinda funny to play around and poke the thing. And as noted, the machine is really fucking by now to get us the bloody papers. That is genuinely a really good use case for it.
