AI research papers are getting better, and it’s a big problem for scientists
Last summer, Peter Degen's postdoctoral supervisor came to him with an unusual problem: One of his papers was being cited too much. Citations are the currency of academia, but there was something unusual about these. Published in 2017, the paper had assessed the accuracy of a particular type of statistical analysis on epidemiological data and had received a respectable few dozen citations in other research papers over the years, but now it was being referenced every few days, hundreds of times, placing it among the most cited papers of his career. Another professor might be thrilled. Degen's adviser asked him to investigate. Degen, a postd … Read the full story at The Verge.
How Chinese short dramas became AI content machines
In a dimly lit bedroom, a frightened young woman is thrown onto a bed by a tall, muscular man. He grabs her hand, and flame-like vines crawl across her body, fusing with her flesh.

AI IQ is here: a new site scores frontier AI models on the human IQ scale. The results are already dividing tech
For decades, the IQ test has been one of the most familiar — and most contested — yardsticks for human intelligence. Now, a startup project called AI IQ is applying the same metaphor to artificial intelligence, assigning estimated intelligence quotients to more than 50 of the world's most powerful language models and plotting them on a standard bell curve. The result is a set of interactive visualizations at aiiq.org that have ricocheted across social media in the past week, drawing praise from enterprise technologists who say the charts make an impossibly complex market legible — and sharp criticism from researchers and commentators who warn the entire framework is misleading. "This is super useful," wrote Thibaut Mélen, a technology commentator, on X. "Much easier to understand model progress when it's mapped like this instead of another giant leaderboard table." Brian Vellmure, a business strategist, offered a similar endorsement: "This is helpful. Anecdotally tracks with personal

Developers can now debug and evaluate AI agents locally with Raindrop's open source tool Workshop
Observability startup Raindrop AI’s new open source, MIT Licensed "Workshop" tool, launched today, gives developers something that they've likely wanted, perhaps subconsciously, since the agentic AI era kicked off in earnest last year: a local debugger and evaluation tool specifically designed for AI agents, allowing devs to see all the traces of what their agent has been doing in a single, lightweight Structured Query Language (SQL) database file (.db) It functions as a local daemon and UI that streams every token, tool call, and decision to a local dashboard—typically hosted at localhost:5899—the moment it occurs. By visiting their localhost, developers can then see everything their agent was up to — including mistakes or errors — and identify what went wrong, when, and ideally, discern why. It's all stored in a single .db file, which takes up relatively little memory, according to a X direct message VentureBeat received from Ben Hylak, Raindrop's co-founder and CTO (and a former App
