2/ We’re exploring how GenAI is disrupting journalism, public trust, and democratic norms. Topics include:
1. Journalism ethics & AI workflows
2. Algorithmic rec systems & echo chambers
3. AI-driven misinformation & credibility crises

4/ So, AI isn’t really “thinking” yet. It mimics the process, but can’t handle real complexity. Like a kid who memorizes formulas but panics when asked to think beyond the textbook.

3/ The result? LRMs perform well on moderately complex tasks, but for very easy or very hard ones, standard models do better. LRMs tend to “overthink” or stop thinking altogether when things get too complex.

2/ But as the puzzle gets harder, both end up failing, and strangely, the thoughtful one actually stops thinking earlier. That’s what this study found about LRMs. Using puzzles like the Tower of Hanoi, the researchers tested whether these models can truly reason.

All Roads Lead to Likelihood: The Value of Reinforcement Learning in Fine-Tuning
From a first-principles perspective, it may seem odd that the strongest results in foundation model fine-tuning (FT) are achieved via a relatively complex, two-stage training procedure. Specifically, ...

3/ It’s super flexible, anyone can arrive anytime, yet things still end up nicely organized by the end of the day. Basically, a data lakehouse mixes the easygoing vibe of a backyard hangout (data lake) with the structured planning of a formal party (data warehouse).

2/ This paper suggests using a "lakehouse" approach, similar to having an open, relaxed backyard barbecue. People (data) show up whenever, chill out anywhere first, and later you casually group them by common interests or conversations.

7/ This isn’t just about territory or trade, it’s a battle of systems and worldviews.
The West is at a crossroads. Without rebuilding trust, shared purpose, & bold leadership, its innovation risks becoming pointless. China, though strong, also risks becoming too rigid and controlled.

6/ Geopolitically, China’s model, tight control plus tech dominance, is, according to the book, becoming appealing to some nations. The West still leads in military and economic terms, but it’s losing ground in something deeper: meaning and belief.

4/ On leadership, the book argues the West is faltering. Too many play it safe, managers, not true leaders, unwilling to stand for core values. But the world needs more than administrators; it needs vision and moral courage.

3/ Meanwhile, China isn’t just chasing tech, it’s racing ahead with a clear direction. While the West argues and doubts itself, China moves forward with a unified plan. Government, tech sector, and ideology are aligned. The result? Focus and speed the West struggles to match.

2/ That’s the West today, advanced tech, but drifting, having lost the shared values that once gave it direction. Without a map, even the best tools can drive us off a cliff.

4/ If the answer keeps circling back to the same point, it’s not a real explanation, it’s just a repackaged excuse.
The point is, circular reasoning isn’t just flawed logic, it also blocks clear, deeper understanding. For open, rational conversations, it’s best left behind.

3/ These sentences seem to explain something, but they just repeat the original claim, like a TikTok song on loop that goes nowhere.
So how do you spot and break it?
Easy. Ask gently, without judgment:
“Other than ‘that’s just how it is,’ why do you think you’re often late?”
