Someone on Reddit just posted an open call for questions they could give Deep Research. It could be just me, but the results seemed to be quite one dimensional, lots of verbiage, no insights. old.reddit.com/r/singularit...

This paper is wild - a Stanford team shows the simplest way to make an open LLM into a reasoning model They used just 1,000 carefully curated reasoning examples & a trick where if the model tries to stop thinking, they append "Wait" to force it to continue.

To those unfollowing since I began my book spotlight series for Black History Month…✌️ I’m not sure who you THOUGHT you were following, but on this account we uplift and celebrate marginalized voices, including books written by black authors. (and that’s all year ‘round folks). #booksky

Hey #Booksky if you’re in the US and looking to step away from the zon for physical books can I highly recommend Thrift Books? They donate and partner with non-profits to support school libraries in underserved areas, and prison libraries. Plus, the book prices are *very good* www.thriftbooks.com

NOAA manages large ocean fisheries in US waters. Scientists there conduct surveys, sample fish, and run complex models to estimate the levels of sustainable catches. NOAA is recognized as a world leader in creating jobs, producing food, and avoiding overfishing. Kudos to NOAA fisheries!!!!

s1: The $6 R1 Competitor? This isn't a R1 replication, it's a brilliant breakthrough in data reduction, and just plain dumb engineering ingenuity. I considered not writing this up, but I don't think it's obvious why it's so important. Enjoy! timkellogg.me/blog/2025/02...

If you want a version of DeepSeek-R1 or GPT-o1 that does a really good job on exactly one task, you can do that for ~$30 www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr... Which is to say that technical implementation of o1/o3/R1 style models are relatively easily achieved. Big tech AI companies have no moat.

New Google DeepMind safety paper! LLM agents are coming – how do we stop them finding complex plans to hack the reward? Our method, MONA, prevents many such hacks, *even if* humans are unable to detect them! Inspired by myopic optimization but better performance – details in🧵

Demis Hassabis, James Manyika, and I wrote up an overview of the AI research work & advances across Google in 2024 (Gemini, NotebookLM, robotics, ML for science, & advances in responsible AI+more). 🎊 Given it a read or paste it into NotebookLM to listen, if you prefer! blog.google/technology/a...

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

Some near-term problems that need to be solved at current levels of AI capability: 1) AI audio and video and can be produced in real time. How do we establish identity & authenticity? 2) How do we manage the transformation of LLM-exposed jobs (writing, coding)? 3) What skills should we be teaching?

I fully support this initiative, and have donated. It's a worthy cause, and one which will pay back huge dividends over time if enough people get behind it. www.redferret.net/freeourfeeds...
