This may sound odd, but game-based benchmarks are some of the most useful for AI, since we have human scores and they require reasoning, planning & vision

The hardest of all is Nethack. No AI is close, and I suspect that an AI that can fairly win/ascend would need to be AGI-ish. Paper: balrogai.com

New article in Journal of Communication looking at changes to trust in news across 46 countries in the last 10 years.

Trust in news declined in just over half of countries.

It decreased more in countries where TV news use has declined, and/or where social media news use has grown.

A thread:

This is a great starter pack if you're into journalism and AI. Thanks a bunch for making it, @journalistik.ai.
I've tried to make a starter pack within "AI in Media/journalism". Who am I missing?
Let's have important conversations! #AI #media #journalism

How I feel half time when I see what Cursor's Composer has done to my code. Prototyping with it feels like a superpower, but the results can be ... surprising.
