Does anyone know if the @arxiv API is down? There seems to be a significant lag in papers being shown.

We must urgently assess how far Chinese AI systems have come—and work with U.S. industry to contain the risks of automated AI R&D. Because once an AI starts improving itself, the race changes entirely.

While the US puts up barriers to the rest of the world, the rest of the world demonstrations that it can offer increasingly competitive AI. Side-note: the Stanford AI index is an excellent, in-depth look at where things stand in AI.

New research from Stanford suggests artificial intelligence isn’t ruled by just OpenAI and Google, as competition increases across the US, China, and France.

If you care about AI then you need to know about the probabilistic computer chip being developed by @GillVerd (aka @BasedBeffJezos) and @TrevorMcCrt1 of @Extropic. The backstory is as fascinating as the technology itself.
