AI isn't replacing radiologists Radiology combines digital images, clear benchmarks, and repeatable tasks. But demand for human radiologists is at an all-time high.

In 2016 Hinton predicted that AI would replace all radiologists in five years. Ten years later, why hasn't it happened? This post is a great explainer.

What if NIH had been 40% smaller? Replaying history with less NIH funding shows widespread impacts on drug-linked research

This may be the most important paper ever published about NIH funded research.

Academic authors, here's a peek into the black box of journal publishing from an journal editor if you can bear it:

Come January I will have been full time in AI and robotics for fifty years. I've lived through and been part of most of their history, and know their pre-me history pretty well. I'm the old guy in therapy here...

Defund the police: something that never really happened, but everybody talked about.

Defund the scientists: something that's actually happening, but almost nobody's talking about in those terms.

Generative AI’s crippling and widespread failure to induce robust models of the world LLM failures to reason, as documented in Apple’s Illusion of Thinking paper, are really only part of a much deeper problem

"Every so often a new AI development comes along and great excitement ensues as people stumble over themselves convinced that the key to intelligence has been unlocked."

Hype, Sustainability, and the Price of the Bigger-is-Better Paradigm in AI With the growing attention and investment in recent AI approaches such as large language models, the narrative that the larger the AI system the more valuable, powerful and interesting it is is increa...

With the market & AI mythos reeling post-DeepSeek, it seems like a good time to reup this year-old paper, on the perils of the "bigger is better" approach to AI, coauthored with @sashamtl.bsky.social + @gaelvaroquaux.bsky.social

Every Jan 1 I post a scorecard on predictions I made, with dates, on Jan 1, 2018 on cars (self-driving), robots, AI, & ML, and on human spaceflight. Besides telling which turned out right and which wrong in the last year I also talk a lot of smack about these topics. rodneybrooks.com/predictions-...

I cannot express how bad this story is for generative AI. OpenAI is burning hundreds of millions of dollars to try and make GPT-5 a meaningful upgrade, and it isn't working. Where does all of this go? How does this result in anything?
