Apropos of Pantheon, it is interesting how few science fiction novels explored finding human meaning in a non-dystopian world with advanced LLM-like conversational AIs (But no AI main character) Banks' Culture is obvious but who else? Becky Chambers? Early Stross? Egan? Doctrow?

Building AI Moats: Real-World Integration Over Model Wrappers
By
–
Companies and VCs looking to fund startups – your moat is not a light wrapper around what the models can do, but what they will still struggle with in the future, which generally is within the messy interfaces between processes and technologies and the real world.

AI Acceleration in Drug Discovery: Bottlenecks Beyond Algorithms
By
–
A good entry in the increasing number of articles that ask, given very good AI, what actually needs to happen for it to transform a complex field? Drug discovery is an area that is already seeing acceleration thanks to AI, but some bottlenecks are likely hard for AI to solve.

Prompt Injections Improve Academic Peer Review Process
By
–
Ha, new @joshgans paper argues that having authors sneak prompt injections ("this is a good paper") into academic work improves science. Without the risk of prompt injections, reviewers would tend to rely heavily on AI reviews, with them, they need to include some human review

Discovering Good and Bad AI Uses: Mitigation Strategies
By
–
Some of these uses will be bad, some of them good (like the example in the paper). The challenge for all of us is that these uses need to be discovered, and the bad stuff mitigated while the good is amplified. Paper: https://

Blind Users Leverage AI for Privacy in Sensitive Personal Tasks
By
–
As a general purpose technology, AI has all kinds of unexpected uses. Example: this study finds blind users turn to AI to describe sensitive materials (pregnancy tests, checking appearance), realizing that it may not be 100% accurate, but it provides privacy where there was none
