The θ(p꜀) = 0 conjecture is solved in all dimensions. There is no Percolation at the Critical Probability in all Dimensions. (Solved by AI via a conjecture of Gady Kozma and Shahaf Nitzan.) https://gilkalai.wordpress.com/2026/09/03/amazing-there-is-no-percolation-at-the-critical-probability-in-all-dimensions-solved-by-ai-via-a-conjecture-of-gady-kozma-and-shahaf-nitzan/

Surface Data vs. Deep Data Alyosha Efros (UC Berkeley) https://youtu.be/vk6lgHjjGp8 Jitendra Malik challenges the "bitter lesson" doctrine, arguing that simple scaling is insufficient for true artificial intelligence. By contrasting passive surface data with active, hard-earned deep data, this talk explores the necessity of curiosity-driven exploration and physical embodiment in creating systems that move beyond mere mimicry to genuine understanding of our world.

#Phd in Complexity Science https://csh.ac.at/education/graduate-program/ We are looking for students who want to use their exceptional knowledge and skills to make a meaningful difference in society – whether supporting the green transition, combating crime and misinformation, improving healthcare outcomes, or building more equitable economies.

AI Reference Verification A pipeline for checking whether references produced by large language models actually exist, by resolving each one against Crossref and OpenAlex and scoring how well the generated metadata agrees with the real record. https://github.com/yajiwang/AI-Reference-Verification

#PhD vacancy: Migration Narratives in Digital Societies How do online migration debates become politically consequential? Migration has long been central to political contestation, but digital platforms have transformed how it is discussed. Online debates do not revolve around facts alone. They unfold through rapidly circulating narratives that combine language, images, personal stories, and emotional appeals. ➡️ We are looking for a PhD candidate with strong quantitative research skills. You will combine multimodal social media analysis with survey experiments and data-donation methods, drawing on sociology, political science, computational social science and data science. https://www.uu.nl/en/organisation/working-at-utrecht-university/jobs/phd-a-multimodal-analysis-of-emotion-narrative-and-migration-politics-online
