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. www.ft.com/content/a0df...

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”.

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

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. #LaTeX

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: 🔗 gongcastro.github.io/blog/dpf-sch...

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

That's exciting. Papers evaluated by the whole community of people with all kinds of background and expertise rather than 2-3 reviewer, who were expected to be expert at everything from theory to intricate statistics.

The sex binary is dead! Long live sex diversity & variability! Sex is one of the greatest sources of variation seen in life. How do we advance the scientific study of sex across the animal kingdom? Read our latest article in Hormones & Behavior to find out! 🧪 🧠 #neuroskyence

Fig. 1. Dynamic sex variability - An integrative, multidimensional framework. A framework that centers sex variability will enable the study of sex across multiple levels of biological analysis (colored boxes). A) Visual schematic representing the degree of sex variability (y-axis) across biological scale (x-axis) and time (z-axis), with example sex variables of interest (not all possible covariates and functional relationships are presented). In this example, to decipher mechanisms linking gonadal hormones to receptive reproductive behavior in adult rodents (lordosis), the functional relationships (black subset of possible gray relationships) between select variables (bold words) need to be identified. At each level of analysis, numerous variables differ across sex to contribute to reproductive behavior through these functional interactions. Importantly, the degree of variability across sex categories is dynamic and is affected by developmental stage, experience, and environment.

Fig. 2. Approaches for the statistical analysis of sex-associated traits. Flow chart of example approaches for analyzing datasets with sex-associated variables. These analyses answer questions about whether and how sex-associated variables explain variation in dependent variables of interest, how independent variables of interest explain variation in dependent sex-associated variables, and how sex-associated variables (within and/or across levels of analysis) relate to one another. The examples match those in the text where possible, but the approaches are widely applicable and flexible. The choice(s) of analyses should follow directly from the research question(s), and it is likely that multiple approaches will be used in the analysis of an integrative dataset.

Fig. 3. Questions for evaluating frameworks and approaches which study sex variability and diversity. Here, we present a set of questions to ask when critically evaluating work (whether it is your own or others) that addresses sex diversity and variability. Note that these questions reflect the integration of the conceptual framework, experimental approaches, and analysis and interpretation, as each of these aspects informs the other.
