Is Generative AI Changing the Game? | Weekly Research Chart by Green Light LLC

Consider it—just last year, GAI grappled with sophisticated reasoning. Designed to test AI with the most challenging issues from law, philosophy, mathematics, and physics, a group of researchers developed Humanity’s Last Exam (HLE). The HLE consists of 3000 questions, spans various fields requiring diverse cognitive strengths, and challenges Nobel Prize-winning minds and those with Einstein-level IQs.

AI models achieved hardly more than 10% accuracy last year.

Fast forward to now: AI is currently scoring over 26%. If this trend continues, it may surpass human intelligence before the year ends.

Sound bites you should know:

Tesla’s self-driving fleet is now logging over a million miles per year—navigating complex private zones without human intervention. Is full FSD around the corner? 

Amazon announced a capex of over $100 billion on AI in 2025 (up from $78 billion in 2024), primarily for AWS. One more example is that bets on increased AI demand will offset lower prices.

Elon Musk places a $97.4 billion bid for OpenAI’s assets. Sam Altman rejects. However, this could change its nonprofit valuation, pushing Sam Altman and investors to reconsider their AI for-profit investments.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei predicts AI will reach the intelligence of an entire nation within two years. Global governance is moving too slowly to keep up.

Perplexity Sonar, powered by chipmaker Cerebras, is challenging conventional web search with lightning-fast AI inference and superior answer quality. Google should pay attention!

helping edit research papers for the college journal and my hatred for Generative AI has never been greater. it's like the fucking plague in here i want AI to DIE

[genuflectx]

Doing testing on using the spectrograms for manually spotting AI generated music, and so far more people get over 50% than they do below, but the accuracy still isn’t high enough for my liking…

However, results are also likely highly dependent on how well each individual can read the contrast of the spectrogram and to what degree they believe the contrast matches either AI or human. So, I believe with practice or training, an individual can increase their accuracy in using the chart to spot spectrograms that are more likely AI than human 🤔 just like how you get better at picking out AI images with practice, even ones that are more convincing

However, over sampling 30+ spectrograms of both AI and human, there is the occasional one that looks similar to the other, but if found this to exceedingly rare. The one that was the closest to human spectrograms was an AI jazz song, which even to me looked indistinguishable. But I have yet to see a human one that is as washed out as AI ones, and they pretty much never have a flat yellow line at the bottom.

It is unlikely this test would ever be the only one needed in determining an AI song to human, but I believe it could end up being a good tool to use among other tools, namely human intuition, listening for common synthetic AI voices/compositions, generic lyrics, lack of credits, weird behavior from the uploader, etc etc.

wtf happened to topsters man

[mumblingsage]

As someone who feels ""i have to answer these stupid questions that seem really obvious because all my professors want me to die forever" in my bones, it can be helpful to remember

The answers might seem obvious to you but they won't for everyone in the class; or one part of the answer might seem obvious to you but a different aspect of it needs some thinking through before it clicks. People learn in different ways and at different paces. (Also, if the answers to the questions aren't obvious to you, you're not stupid! Learning isn't always easy, and you're taking this class because there's stuff you don't know!)

You do not need to write deathlessly beautiful prose in answer to the questions. Depending on the professor, you don't even need to write with perfect spelling or grammar (though these can be helpful for clarity and it's useful to practice them). For some students, especially those who think of themselves (ourselves) as "good writers," writing assignments can feel like a bigger deal than they are because we worry about style or looking polished and smart. In my experience this is likely to lead to tortuously convoluted attempts to be impressive, when basic and boring would be more effective.

Your professor (or adjunct) is going to read and grade possibly hundreds of these, so they will appreciate you writing clear, businesslike prose that demonstrates you understand the concepts. But they're probably not going to remember or care that much about your assignment specifically. Again, don't overthink it.

Most of the above applies to writing emails as an adult communicating with other adults, too.

it's so fucking frustrating to be in college and know everyone uses chatgpt and to be tempted by it constantly while also knowing intellectually that it doesn't work and it's a bad idea. like, i hang out in the library a lot, and i see people using chatgpt on assignments almost every day. and i know it isn't a good way to learn, because it's not really "artificial intelligence" so much as it is an auto text generator. and it gives you wrong information or badly worded sentences all the time. but every week i stare down assignments i don't want to do and i think man. if only i could type this prompt into a text generator and have it done in 10 minutes flat. and i know it wouldn't work. it wouldn't synthesize information from the text the way professors want, it wouldn't know how to answer questions, it just spits out vaguely related words for a couple paragraphs. but knowing my classmates get their work done in 10 minutes flat with it while i fight every ounce of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in my body is infuriating.

📝 Editorial: The New DeepSeek R1-0528 is Very Impressive

This week, DeepSeek AI pushed the boundaries of open-source language modeling with the release of DeepSeek R1-0528. Building on the foundation of the original R1 release, this update delivers notable gains in mathematical reasoning, code generation, and long-context understanding. With improvements derived from enhanced optimization and post-training fine-tuning, R1-0528 marks a critical step toward closing the performance gap between open models and their proprietary counterparts like GPT-4 and Gemini 1.5.

At its core, DeepSeek R1-0528 preserves the powerful 672B Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture, activating 37B parameters per forward pass. This architecture delivers high-capacity performance while optimizing for efficiency, especially in inference settings. One standout feature is its support for 64K-token context windows, enabling the model to engage with substantially larger inputs—ideal for technical documents, structured reasoning chains, and multi-step planning.

In terms of capability uplift, the model shows remarkable progress in competitive benchmarks. On AIME 2025, DeepSeek R1-0528 jumped from 70% to an impressive 87.5%, showcasing an increasingly sophisticated ability to tackle complex mathematical problems. This leap highlights not just better fine-tuning, but a fundamental improvement in reasoning depth—an essential metric for models serving scientific, technical, and educational use cases.

For software engineering and development workflows, R1-0528 brings meaningful updates. Accuracy on LiveCodeBench rose from 63.5% to 73.3%, confirming improvements in structured code synthesis. The inclusion of JSON-formatted outputs and native function calling support positions the model as a strong candidate for integration into automated pipelines, copilots, and tool-augmented environments where structured outputs are non-negotiable.

To ensure broad accessibility, DeepSeek also launched a distilled variant: R1-0528-Qwen3-8B. Despite its smaller footprint, this model surpasses Qwen3-8B on AIME 2024 by over 10%, while rivaling much larger competitors like Qwen3-235B-thinking. This reflects DeepSeek’s commitment to democratizing frontier performance, enabling developers and researchers with constrained compute resources to access state-of-the-art capabilities.

DeepSeek R1-0528 is more than just a model upgrade—it’s a statement. In an ecosystem increasingly dominated by closed systems, DeepSeek continues to advance the case for open, high-performance AI. By combining transparent research practices, scalable deployment options, and world-class performance, R1-0528 signals a future where cutting-edge AI remains accessible to the entire community—not just a privileged few.

Setting aside the copyright discourse for a minute, what do you think is the real, actual wrong with ai? From what I can tell you're anti genAI but in a more rational way rather than going on personal vibes. I've mostly seen defensive posts about ai so I'm curious what you think are the actual harms we should be advocating against

have talked about this here. in general i think the most pressing things that are actually worth caring wrt genAI about are labour issues, both in the training of these models and in how they (like any meaningful advance in technology) are integrated into workflows in a way that immiserates workers (for example, attempts to turn writing credits into 'editing credits' by having writers work with AI-generated scripts that the WGA managed to put an end to). & i think the way to fight these things is, as i often repeat, through industrial collective action and not through yelling at people for generating 'mcdonalds simpsons porn room' lol

when it comes to other types of AI, i think that their role in essentially automating war crimes and providing clumsy cover for what are fundamentally indiscriminate massacres is also obviously deeply evil, but has less to do with any actual feature of the technology itself and more to do with its marketing -- this is the "AI"-as-social-object vs. generative LLM distinction i think people are bad at making. like, i don't think that "we need to bomb this family home because the computer said so" is fundamentally different to its analog version, "we're renditioning you to a concentration camp because our chart said so". the important technology here is the imposition of the aesthetic of technocratic managerialism over nakedly arbitrary violence and cruelty, not anything that the AI is doing per se.

[regressionschool]

I've been experimenting a bit with generative AI, and it’s really helped me put together this page about unpotty training. The layout, the wording, the charts, and the overall concepts were all my own, but I used AI to create the people and other graphic elements—like the diapers.

I'm still a bit unsure how I feel about using AI in this way. I don’t really think of what I’m making as “high art,” but I do enjoy the creative process. I’m interested in hearing what others think.
