- Reposted by Katia SchwerzmannWho are the experts / journalists / researchers you turn to for critical perspectives on AI & the tech world? I created a feed of experts who watch AI developments with a skeptical & critical (but *informed*) POV. I'd love more people to follow it, but I'm also looking to add people - recs welcome!

- This week I received my first paper to peer-review that was written in large part by an LLM. The typical telltale signs were a lot of placeholder-words that add nothing to the argument and many qualifying adjectives that make some paragraphs sound like an advertisement for technology.

- Reading DeepSeek's paper: "DeepSeek-R1: Incentivizing Reasoning Capability in LLMs via Reinforcement Learning," I find the paper somewhat misleading. DeepSeek's claim is that its model obtains excellent reasoning abilities by applying "pure reinforcement learning" onto the pre-trained model.
- podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a... I can’t recommend this podcast enough. This episode examines how autocracy is established by reinterpreting existing laws and discusses the function of systematic “performative cruelty” toward minorities.
