OpenAI's Deep research is now available to Plus users (10 queries a month) www.theverge.com/news/619378/...

Anthropic has launched its Claude 3.7 Sonnet AI model, featuring an "extended thinking" mode. Here's how it compares to ChatGPT and Grok.

“I worry we’re going to have a generation that follows AI blindly"

This X post from @francois.fleuret.org went viral, but I want to know what the BlueSky people say! "Serious take: how comes there is such a dominant silence from the humanities on what to expect from / how to shape a society with AIs everywhere." x.com/francoisfleu...

Great article on the anthropomorphization of #AI by the folks behind @nwdliafs.bsky.social. @annamillsoer.bsky.social and I argue that we can build AI literacies by using more fitting terms when we talk about AI: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

👍 AI mirage 👎 AI hallucination So many have objected to "hallucination" as a description of faulty AI outputs. We need a term that doesn't suggest conscious delusion. @xolotl.org and I analyzed 80+ alternatives and settled on "mirage." We make the case here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

The metaphor of "hallucinations" re-enforces the misconception that Ai is conscious. @annamillsoer.bsky.social & @xolotl.org. suggest that "Ai mirage" is a better metaphor. "Are We Tripping?" The Mirage of AI Hallucinations (February 06, 2025) dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.... Also updating Wikipedia.

Thoughtful paper on the topic of “hallucination” metaphors in LLMs from @xolotl.org & @annamillsoer.bsky.social papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Want to shape the future of #AI in the US? 🤖 This is your chance to influence how AI is used in everything from healthcare to education to national security. #EthicalAI #PassionforAI www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

The US gov is asking for public feedback on its new #AI strategy, presumably replacing Biden's AI Bill of Rights. They want to remove "unnecessarily burdensome requirements," presumably like regulation, accuracy, & accountability. Now's the time to speak up. www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

Let's talk about "AI mirages," not "AI hallucinations"! I'm so excited that the paper @xolotl.org and I wrote is out at last!
