An AI Image Generator’s Exposed Database Reveals What People Really Used It For An unsecured database used by a generative AI app revealed prompts and tens of thousands of explicit images—some of which are likely illegal. The company deleted its websites after WIRED reached out.

Trump halts medical research funding in apparent violation of judge’s order Health department orders NIH to hold Federal Register submissions – critical step in process for funding studies

Huh. Explains why three weeks and counting to reschedule my NIH study section.

Perplexity just made AI research crazy cheap—what that means for the industry Perplexity's Deep Research tool matches $75,000/month enterprise AI capabilities, forcing OpenAI and Google to justify premium pricing.

“Knowledge should be universally accessible and useful. Not kept behind obscenely expensive subscription plans that benefit the corporates, not in the interests of humanity!” Very cool. I tried it. Huge amount of linked and trading knowledge in a short time.

How Trump’s Medical Research Cuts Would Hit Colleges and Hospitals in Every State Changes to a key funding formula will reduce research grants at hospitals and universities by billions — and may discourage future research.

Whether intentional or not, Florida is relatively insulated from these cuts. ‘North Carolina, Missouri and Pennsylvania could face disproportionate losses, because of the concentration of medical research in those states.’ 👀

Trump’s NIH challenges the model that underlies U.S. scientific dominance The 80-year-old partnership between the federal government and research institutions has made the U.S. the leader in scientific innovation. But now a proposed funding cut threatens the arrangement.

PIs will just write in the indirects directly into the budget. Wont they? This probably won’t matter for big contracts. Small labs will feel the brunt!

Microsoft Study Finds AI Makes Human Cognition “Atrophied and Unprepared” Researchers find that the more people use AI at their job, the less critical thinking they use.

I’ve got to find a way for AI to post more articles like this for me.🤔

NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately Researchers say it would hurt facilities that work on medical issues such as cancer research and heart disease. Elon Musk contends the old policy was ‘a ripoff.’

Researchers created an open rival to OpenAI's o1 'reasoning' model for under $50 | TechCrunch AI researchers at Stanford and the University of Washington were able to train an AI "reasoning" model for under $50 in cloud compute credits, according

Let the games begin!

Tech leaders respond to the rapid rise of DeepSeek Marc Andreessen, Yann LeCunn and Mark Zuckerberg have all penned what appear to be responses to the Chinese open source model's ascent.

‘Open source models are surpassing proprietary ones.’

Health researchers alarmed as Trump administration pauses travel, communications The halt has frozen research grants, meetings and key health updates. “Everything is basically in chaos,” said one cancer researcher.

Huh. Do I still have my NIH study section grant review next month?

Trump announces $500B Stargate AI project: 'Country will be prospering like never before' Trump said the private sector joint venture will build data centers and create more than 100,000 jobs in the United States.

Not bad for 2nd day! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

What America's top economists are saying about AI and inequality Planet Money attended the annual meeting of American economists — and the most popular topic this year was artificial intelligence.

‘the big AI job massacre is not happening… AI seems more likely to help workers become more productive rather than outright replace them… AI's ultimate effects on inequality are still a mystery.’

the pharmaceutical industry has been the easiest to disrupt; "all it took was transparency and not jacking up margins to market."

An AI system has reached human level on a test for ‘general intelligence’. Here’s what that means OpenAI’s o3 model scored at human level on a benchmark test for artificial general intelligence – far higher than any results before.

‘On December 20, OpenAI’s o3 system scored 85% on the ARC-AGI benchmark, well above the previous AI best score of 55% and on par with the average human score.’ New what?

The Truth About AI-Generated Research And Its Impact On Education Discover how AI-generated academic research will impact education, challenging traditional teaching and transforming how students create and share knowledge.

In an age where AI can handle the mechanics of research, educators must teach students how to evaluate AI-generated content and how to address inaccuracies.

Small Step Or Giant Leap? Assessing Google’s Quantum Threat To BTC This significant leap forward in processing power leads to questions about Bitcoin’s legendary security, unbroken for 15 years since the genesis block.

“If Willow… were capable of breaking Bitcoin’s cryptographic safeguards, it wouldn’t just destabilize the cryptocurrency ecosystem; it would signal the collapse of virtually all modern security systems.”

Social Media Has Little Sympathy for Murdered Health Insurance Exec Americans on social media showed virtually no sympathy for the apparently targeted killing of UnitedHealthcare's CEO by mystery gunman in New York.

Oh my. My sympathies to all the families affected by this act of violence. I hope this does not become a trend as many families hold many grudges against the insurance industry.
