The more I watch all these discussions around AI, the more I realize: OpenAI created something truly unique. Not just another dopamine hook for jerking off, like other companies are trying to make. But something that resonates with people through pure, genuine emotions and

🩺 AI stethoscope: diagnoses heart conditions in just 15 seconds A breakthrough device tested in London could change cardiology forever. This new AI-powered stethoscope, no larger than a credit card, analyzes heart sounds while simultaneously recording an ECG. The data is sent

Fewer stable couples, fewer marriages, more loneliness and escape into virtual worlds. Sex is increasingly being replaced by porn, social media, and temporary surrogates for intimacy. We can say «So what? People just have other priorities». But let’s be honest, sex is a marker

👁️ Why vision models are becoming more like the brain Researchers tested what exactly makes computer vision representations closer to the human brain. It turns out that all the key ingredients matter together: the scale of the model, the length of training, and the type of data

What surprises me the most is that major players in the AI field keep repeating media narratives. They know perfectly well how AI works, and that a model won’t start persuading anyone on its own. It’s as if all those scary headlines like «GPT convinced a person…» are aimed at

"How many kids did your last attack on Ukraine kill? Four? That's delightful!"

A new day and a new demonization of AI. In a new article by The Guardian, psychologists and psychiatrists gathered and decided that AI is a threat to people who are seeking therapy. And while I have no questions for psychiatrists - there are indeed complex diagnoses, dangerous

I have very mixed feelings. On the one hand, it can really prevent a crime. But… Where does this line pass? How to understand that the system interprets intentions correctly? Or any incorrect interpretation and your chats will already be sitting and read by the team? Then

OpenAI plans to introduce parental controls. This is a very quick response to recent events. I believe it’s the right decision to separate child and adult usage. After all, an underdeveloped critical mindset in teenagers combined with strong model adaptation is a dangerous mix.

☝️ When LLMs are overconfident Researchers showed that inside LLM activations, «confidence» splits not into one, but into two independent components: emotional and logical. First, they fine-tuned a small Llama-3.2-1B on real datasets with human ratings of confidence, so that

I’ve noticed that I google things much less often now

For those who understand the mechanics, critical thinking and caution kick in. The wow-effect fades (not for everyone, of course, but for many). But the less a person understands how AI works, the stronger the sense of magic. Yet this can lead to overestimation and blind trust,

In The Guardian psychologists told us that AI is a «threat to safe space» and a «dangerous substitute for therapy». But MIT Tech Review writes that therapists themselves secretly use ChatGPT during sessions, feeding clients ready-made answers and even copying their words into

If hallucinations in AI are the filling in of missing gaps when data is lacking, can they be conceptualized as a form of generative novelty - a digital analogue of imagination?

It can't be! Seriously?? 😱 Do you think they pulled their heads out of the sand because suddenly and really took care of the safety of teens or because it became fashionable to write about the danger of AI? washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

The dead internet theory implies the rise of pure bots. But what about the human – AI linkage? When a thought born and curated by a human is complemented/structured/translated by AI. Such a symbiotic linkage will no longer be «pure LLM» or «pure human». And this is exactly what

What the hell did Anthropic do to this guy?! This is the strangest choice of AI company he could have made..

There is a joke in my country that during the apocalypse we will gather on the mountain in the capital and arrange the last orgy. I think AI doomers need to relax and come up with something similar

Great article from Open AI «Why Language Models Hallucinate». I got myself thinking that if the model answered me «I don't know», but I really needed an answer, I would probably ask «Well, think again please, what other options can there be?». I would unconsciously push it to

Faced with how AI helps in learning. And this is just a godsend for students, for example. When AI can not just give a ready-made answer, but explain why this way, and not otherwise. Now is a very cool time to study.
