SCOOP: The Trump administration is planning to eliminate an entire team at the National Institute of Standards and Technology responsible for publishing critical data that underpins advanced scientific research around the world
In case you missed it, here is the latest @kyliebytes scoop, about Anthropic pursuing Middle East gulf state money. wired.com/story/anthropi…
OpenAI is fundraising yet again. Awesome scoop from @LaurenGoode - wired.com/story/openai-f…
New on @WIRED: A novel type of distributed mixture-of-experts model from Ai2 (called FlexOlmo) allows data can be contributed to a frontier model confidentially, and even revoked after the model is built: wired.com/story/flexolmo…
Does anyone know if the @arxiv API is down? There seems to be a significant lag in papers being shown.
Why does it have arms?
Urinebot has is being tested at a hospital in Taiwan. The device will run an array of tests and send your results to your file. The entire idea of the device has had mixed reviews.
Mark Zuckerberg is offering some researchers $300 million over four years, WIRED has learned. Meta has made at least 10 of these offers to OpenAI staffers. Wild new scoop from @ZoeSchiffer. wired.com/story/mark-zuc…
Doesn't the MIT SEAL paper (and other work on continuous learning) cross this imaginary AI danger 🚨red line already? These systems aren't actually dangerous, and surely all the big companies are working on similar stuff. Here's details of the SEAL work: wired.com/story/this-ai-…
We must urgently assess how far Chinese AI systems have come—and work with U.S. industry to contain the risks of automated AI R&D. Because once an AI starts improving itself, the race changes entirely.
Thanks @willknight for covering SEAL! Really appreciate the thoughtful and insightful way you captured the work.
Scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have devised a way for large language models to keep learning on the fly—a step toward building AI that continually improves itself. wired.com/story/this-ai-…
It's been 135 days since inauguration. It feels like 13.5 years.
Trump’s visa-cutting measures may rob America of scientific expertise, technical talent, and many future entrepreneurs. wired.com/story/trump-ad…
While the US puts up barriers to the rest of the world, the rest of the world demonstrations that it can offer increasingly competitive AI. Side-note: the Stanford AI index is an excellent, in-depth look at where things stand in AI. wired.com/story/stanford…
Nice piece by @EthanZ on DeepSeek and the perils of isolationism. If only someone in the administration might read it. prospectmagazine.co.uk/views/columns/…
New article in @WIRED by @willknight Includes more on our tech's progress and our silicon probabilistic bit milestone. Go check it out!
What did Will see? 👀
I saw the test chip. more to follow though... 😉
If you care about AI then you need to know about the probabilistic computer chip being developed by @GillVerd (aka @BasedBeffJezos) and @TrevorMcCrt1 of @Extropic. The backstory is as fascinating as the technology itself. wired.com/story/thermody…
