Book Review: Large Language Models by Stephan Raaijmakers
1+ mon, 6+ day ago (598+ words) As someone who owns more than fifteen volumes from the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, I approach each new release with both interest and caution: the series often delivers thoughtful, accessible overviews " but not always in the style or depth…...
A ‘Zen’ Method to Stop Language Models from Hallucinating
1+ mon, 1+ week ago (1683+ words) Telling ChatGPT to fact-check a random answer before solving an actual problem makes it think harder, and get the answer right more often " even if the earlier "random" answer has nothing to do with your real query. An interesting new…...
Book Review: The Rise of Logical Data Management by Christopher Gardner
1+ mon, 2+ week ago (418+ words) Gardner's explanation of this difference is accessible even for readers who do not come from a data engineering background. He illustrates how the logical layer changes the entire lifecycle of data'from ingestion to delivery'by decoupling data access from physical storage....
Research Reveals LLMs Default to Simple Reasoning When Complexity Increases
1+ mon, 3+ week ago (305+ words) A team of researchers published a comprehensive study on November 20 analyzing over 192,000 reasoning traces from large language models (LLMs), revealing that AI systems rely on shallow, linear strategies rather than the hierarchical cognitive processes humans naturally employ. The gap between…...
Ginkgo Datapoints Unveils VCPI: A Bold Plan to Fix AI Drug Discovery’s Data Problem
1+ mon, 3+ week ago (484+ words) The problem isn't technology; it's experimental architecture. The assumption that bigger datasets inherently teach better models has proven false. The blog bluntly calls this mindset a "data addiction," arguing that without well-structured, high-signal inputs, even the most advanced AI will…...
Book Review: The Shape of Thought: Reasoning in the Age of AI by Richard H.R. Harper
2+ mon, 9+ hour ago (424+ words) Harper warns that when we strip reasoning from its human context and reduce it to computational output, we misinterpret what these systems can genuinely accomplish. This misunderstanding is not merely academic; it has real influence over design choices, policy frameworks,…...
HiddenLayer’s EchoGram Report Warns of a New Class of Attacks Undermining AI Guardrails
2+ mon, 15+ hour ago (218+ words) This effect persisted across model sizes, reinforcing HiddenLayer's conclusion that the vulnerability is rooted in the underlying training methodology rather than model scale or complexity. This creates an avenue for overwhelming security or trust-and-safety teams with noise. When alerts spike…...
Using ‘Probability’ as a Deepfake Detection Metric
2+ mon, 3+ day ago (1356+ words) If AI-generated video and audio get good enough, deepfake detectors based on visual artifacts or other traditional signals won't work anymore. But given how rarely people veer away from predictable behavior, perhaps "probability' could be adopted more deeply as a…...
