the most realistic scene in Jurassic Park is when two scientists make a questionable decision — traveling to an undisclosed location with a strange man — on the promise of three years of modest funding

Funny way in which AI is actually delaying scientific research is that we're now at roughly monthly HPC outages due to Linux kernel zero-days which need to be addressed immediately.

every job i see these days is like: LEAD CONTENT ANALYST, Puppy Killing Factory (remote). $350,000 - $500,000. You will edit our internal newsletter (circulation 500). Associate Editor, Nonprofits, Global Good Magazine (in office, NYC). $27,000 - $28,000. Lead ALL of our fundraising efforts!

If local LLM releases came with cute anime gifs kids would start trading them on the playground

Self-Compacting language agents This feels like an incredibly obvious (in hindsight) improvement. Rather than compact arbitrarily every N=1M tokens, (1) let the model decide when and (2) how to compact arxiv.org/abs/2606.23525

I wonder what helicopters are to birds. Gods? Demons? Do they think a ritual is taking place everytime they see one descend onto the hospital rooftop?

💥 In Donetsk region, birds are building nests from drone fiber optics.

I just can't escape the rabbit of reading LLM papers with spicy titles "If LLMS have human-like attributes, then so does Age of Empires II" -> arxiv.org/pdf/2605.31514

This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

Gniesbert remains one of the most amazing dog names I have ever heard

Epic has announced Unreal Engine 6. It's a 20% bigger number than 5, making it the biggest number they have ever announced. Unfortunately it fell short of the last major update (4 to 5), which was a whopping 25% increase.

It's easy to think that AI is overhyped but there are still people out there that are suprised by LLMs being decent at summaries

oh, we are so cooked… an AI agent can be pointed at any Bluesky account and in minutes build an accurate dossier on the individual this is why i’m worried by how many people are in denial over the capabilities of these systems, calling them “spicy autocorrect” or “next token predictors” is v dumb

You start to expect a certain amount of poor decision-making and sloppiness at universities tasked which supposedly do top-tier research. But it's still impressive when an entire field gets completely bamboozled.

30.9% of genetics papers data are kind of trash because of Excel’s aggressive auto-formatting.

 Until 2023, there was no global option to disable data conversion. For example, the human SEPT family (1-14) of genes is directly related to cell division and cancer research.

Some Gambling Companies might not have been able to use the long weekend to start a new shell company in Malta. That's because, since Thursday, the Malta Business Registry has been offline. And no, this time I really did not hack you. You sold me 1.3 Million PDFs for 1ct - via your API.

Nothing channels your inner boomer instinct quite like young adults mispronouncing "Kamehameha." Like, how dare you disrespect your elders!?

Years of suffering through university, trying to aborb as much STEM rleated knowledge as possible and then it turns out your super power is just being able to speak german fluently

This is an interesting story because it keeps proving that models that are designed to be evil are also useless

that’s what you get when you distill from 4.20

Sci-Hub is an evil website that pirated 85M+ research papers and made them freely available Now they've added AI to their database to make Sci-Bot. It answers your questions using latest, full-text articles. But DO NOT use it. We should all try to make billion-dollar academic publishers richer.
