Great to hear @rory-stewart.bsky.social advocating for publicly funded LLM. He's two years behind me but better late than never: realworlddatascience.net/the-pulse/po...
An AI for humanity – Real World Data Science
Public funding is needed for an ‘AI for humanity’ project, modelled on the Human Genome Project, argues Martin Goodson. How else can we ensure the benefits of AI are spread widely and not concentrated in the hands of technology companies?

Changing conspiracy theory beliefs is very hard, but a replicated finding shows a short chat with GPT-4 changes people’s belief in conspiracy theories for the long term.
Why? It isn’t rhetorical tricks, it's that AI provides relevant facts and evidence tailored to each person's specific beliefs.

OpenAI launched a new benchmark based on real-world software engineering tasks from Upwork
Scores are awarded monetarily, by how much an AI could theoretically earn
And Sonnet is currently the top model. Bold.

Erm, the rate of innovation is already a derivative. Can't you just look at that?

One of the funniest parts about this story rn is that Deepseek probably trained their model on the output of OpenAI's models. Extreme schadenfreude watching a company built on theft have their IP stolen, improved, then given away for free.
DeepSeek’s R1 model is challenging the very foundations of the past two years of generative AI hype, wiping $1 trillion of the value of major US tech companies.
But it’s also another example that the US strategy to try to contain Chinese tech is failing — and pushing them to get even more creative.

Maybe use a different model to find out about Tiananmen Square. Or look it up in Wikipedia or something.
We tried out DeepSeek. It works well, until we asked it about Tiananmen Square and Taiwan

The AI app soared up the Apple charts and rocked US stocks, but Chinese chatbot was reluctant to discuss sensitive questions about China and its government

How would the US government respond to this level of devastation if it were caused by a terrorist organisation? Decades of war and trillions of dollars spent?
But since it was just caused by climate change, not so much.

I've never read anything by Melanie Mitchell I didn't like but this, on the recent breakthrough by OpenAI, is particularly good.
