AI Discovers 100+ Hidden Planets in NASA Star Data
By

1/ Holy: Astronomers just pointed an AI at NASA data from 2.2 million stars. It found over 100 hidden planets, including worlds so extreme they shouldn't even exist according to current theory. I love it. Lets break it down and explain what it means :

Retracted AI Education Paper Prompts Discussion of Meta-Analyses

My surprise here seems warranted, this paper was retracted (There are other peer-reviewed meta-analyses of the impact of AI on education finding positive effects, like: https://

LLM perfectly explains tweet about prompt injection origins

Excerpt from a Claude 4.7 Research report; prompt: “Explain the origins of prompt injection.” Surreal to see an LLM perfectly explain a tweet I made specifically about text that tricked then-SoTA LLMs, accurate down to my use of doubled exclamation points:

SHAPE Method Rewards Reasoning Progress Over Verbosity in LLMs
By

What if LLMs could reason smarter, not just longer? Researchers from Huawei Taylor Lab, Peking University, and Shanghai University of Finance and Economics introduce SHAPE. The method rewards actual progress in reasoning — not verbosity — by using a two-level system: a

Proposing real-world benchmarks for medical AI models
By

We need more real-world benchmarks for models. Saying that a model scored "87.4% on the MMLU AQuA-RAT" is useless for anyone who's not a researcher. How about we test for: -ER diagnosis (accuracy + time)
-Radiology reads (scan → diagnosis)
-ICU management (decisions → -

The hard problem of consciousness is hard in both directions. Confidently ruling it out for LLMs runs into the same wall as confidently claiming it.
