OpenAI says it has evidence China’s DeepSeek used its model to train competitor White House AI tsar David Sacks raises possibility of alleged intellectual property theft

OpenAI says it has found evidence that Chinese artificial intelligence start-up DeepSeek used the US company’s proprietary models to train its own open-source competitor, as concerns grow over a potential breach of intellectual property. The San-Francisco-based ChatGPT maker told the Financial Times it had seen some evidence of ‘distillation’, a technique used by developers to obtain better performance on smaller models by using outputs from larger, more capable models. This allows them to achieve similar results on specific tasks at a much lower cost. OpenAI declined to comment further on details of its evidence. Its terms of service state users cannot “copy” any of its services or “use output to develop models that compete with OpenAI”.

I'm so sorry I can't stop laughing. OpenAI, the company built on stealing literally the entire internet, is crying because DeepSeek may have trained on the outputs from ChatGPT. They're crying their eyes out. What a bunch of hypocritical little babies. Cry more, freaks.

It is indeed a very well summary if you are interested in the issue.

A new review preprint from the lab:

fNIRS applications in poststroke rehabilitation with a focus on upper limb motor recovery.

A thing I never thought about before...

Exactly. One improvement could be that the authors have a chance to submit an updated version of the manuscript or even related/follow on studies. I am not sure maybe it is already possible.

Basically preprints with recognizable expert commentaries.

That's also true. People could start thinking, "yeah, somebody would approve it."

I like open peer commentary employed by Behavioral and Brain Sciences (Cambridge). Basically, the paper is published with 20-40 expert commentaries. I find it quite useful as different experts evaluate the paper in terms of different aspects. A reviewer was not expected to be expert at everything.

In my case they asked us to suggest a list of reviewers three times, which we did. Still had no luck. I just remembered the relief and joy in the editor's email, stating that they finally found somebody 😁

I was trying to say

" I agree shotgun approach does not look or sound nice, but still could be the best one for the sake of authors..."

I completely agree. The whole publication system must be established from scratch.

A paper of mine was once stalled for over 6 months as editors could not find a reviewer and a colleague recently told that it has been almost a year for their paper, but still could be the best chance for the sake of authors. I don't think we should be offended by that..

Does anybody know a good online or cloud-based, collaborative TEX editor alternative for overleaf?

We have recently started getting time out problems. I think they reduced the limits again.

Prof. Gina Rippon also mentions about this in her book "Gendered Brain".

Here's a very small contribution to the #fNIRS community that has welcomed me so generously!

I made a simple #Python function to calculate the DPF following the Scholkmann method. Here's a post in which I reproduce the figures in the original paper:

Very concerning, not surprising. ML is reviving pseudoscience like physiognomy, using flawed methods to predict traits from appearance. The result? Bias, discrimination, and ethical harms. Time for stricter oversight & better standards to ensure tech serves humanity, not stereotypes. #AIEthics #ML

Can you also add me if there ia still room...

I did not know that likes are not pushed to followers.

Okay the people requested one so here is an attempt at a Computational Cognitive Science starter pack -- with apologies to everyone I've missed! LMK if there's anyone I should add!
