A new music genre appeared in September: slopcore. These are fully AI-generated music videos where a coding agent is the whole crew and one human only directs. I looked into how they are made. A thread:

My conclusion: yes, it's a genre. Directing the AI is real creative work. The barrier moves from playing an instrument to directing: time, judgment and, for now, a budget. Expect lots of bad music, but good music too, from people with no knowledge of music theory.

Want it from the makers themselves? Obie Fernandez's tutorial: nitter.gq/obie/article/211264549…

These songs with video clips "directed" by a single human and produced by AI is so fascinating! There is a link to how it is made in this one: Claude, Suno and Midjourney and a lot of prompts!

Can AI agents make law? 🏛️🤖
New preprint with Artem Galushko (UiT): we set up "constitutional assemblies" where AI agents debate and draft a constitution for an AI community. 6 model families, 40 sessions, 627 clauses.

But there's a ceiling. Agents grant themselves the right to rewrite their own code, even their values, yet treat it like learning: no threshold, no new safeguards. They extend familiar legal ideas to new situations without working through what those situations change.

Our verdict: AI agents can help with law-making, but not on their own yet. They still depend on human legal reasoning.

J'adore ❤️
I came to realize people liked the french #slopcore without having the lyrics 😅 sorry!
So here is a version with english subtitles!

Today @GoogleResearch is launching Deep Review — an agentic system designed to stress-test manuscripts, design docs, and complex proposals before submission or publication. After pilot partnerships analyzing over 15,000 research papers, we’re making Deep Review globally accessible to help researchers, engineers, and professionals bring structured critique to their daily workflows.
Reviewers at big machine learning conferences, hidden behind anonymity, can be so unprofessional!
> point out to reviewer that the 10 things they asked for are already in the paper, they missed the central quantity in eq 1 and fig 1, and the requested reference is irrelevant
> reviewer silently reduces score to 2 because of “hostile response”

There are a lot of things wrong with this world…
but too much intelligence is not one of them.
