At a Research Administrator conference. Session on AI.
Two take aways:
1. If you don't know what an LLM is, and how it works (in high level form), educate yourselves so you can be aware and ask competent questions.
2. AI really can't review grants, but is good at *weaknesses* in applications.

I am begging the national media to start taking this seriously.
Stop buying the claims that the framing of "temporary" or "pause."
They are altering the review processes of federally funded scientific research from merit-based peer review processes to political screening by ideologues.

So, is the TL;DR of the DeepSeek paper basically they taught a model how to use critical "thinking" skills rather than just brute force training? Am I missing something here where basically AI engineers realised that AI learning could excel if it used transferable skills like human learners?
