This paper introduces an LLM-based architecture to detect and quantify the intensity of human values in text. The architecture comprises three coordinated modules that can adapt to various value theories, and experiments on the ValueEval dataset show good detection performance.
Proposes a modular LLM architecture for identifying human values in text, avoiding dependence on specific value theories or complex prompt engineering.
Three modules: generate structured value specifications, label texts using them, and assign graded support or resistance based on rhetorical and semantic evidence.
A paper argues that with generative AI dissolving the human capacity to write correct code as the binding constraint, software work reorganizes around two pillars: Mixer Mode (humans operating multiple judgment axes continuously like a sound engineer) and Meta-Software (software that observes, validates, and governs other software). The two pillars are inseparable, drawing a parallel to the historical transition from artisanal to mass production.
The production of code is ceasing to be the dominant problem in software organizations due to generative AI.
Mixer Mode describes a new human role where practitioners continuously operate multiple judgment axes.
Noah Smith argues that as AI becomes more capable, humans will shift from technical work to ensuring AI alignment—keeping AI focused on human goals. He draws parallels to 'Office Space' and warns about the rise of AI-generated 'slop'.
Humans will be needed to maintain AI alignment, ensuring AI stays on task.
The author compares future human roles to the 'Lumbergh' manager from Office Space.

Researchers from Sakana AI and the University of Tokyo propose DiffusionBlocks, which trains transformer-based networks one block at a time, reducing training memory by a factor of B (where B is the number of blocks) while maintaining performance across diverse architectures. The method interprets residual connections as Euler steps of reverse diffusion, enabling a principled local objective via score matching.
DiffusionBlocks partitions networks into B independently trainable blocks, reducing memory by B×.
It leverages the connection between residual networks and diffusion models to provide a theoretically grounded local training objective.
