  plaintextml is a newer and comprehensive AI and ML news aggregator with news, research, blogs, industry, podcasts, videos, and community (extracts from social media) sections. It is one of the better, more comprehensive websites of this type and has the advantage that its web page layout is more compact as the stories just have weblinked titles instead of being accompanied by AI generated images taking up a lot of screen space. https://www.plaintextml.com #research #AI #tech

  Guides to setting up OpenAlex queries are listed below. You can get a free API key for it and using the API burns up your daily usage quota at around one-tenth the rate that doing the same query via the web interface uses. OQL (OpenAlex Query Language) help: https://help.openalex.org/api/oql/ Documents some search filters only available on paid plans also: https://github.com/ourresearch/openalex-help/blob/main/content/api/filtering.md https://github.com/ourresearch/openalex-docs/blob/main/ho...

  OpenAlex tricks: Start with a browser API search URL, change one parameter at a time, and watch what happens. OpenAlex even puts the equivalent OQL query into meta.x_query in the returned JSON, so the API can teach you how to write the more powerful OQL version. The OQL operators are more powerful in allowing you to do some things you can't do in API search URL query. The Firefox browser has a built-in function for browsing JSON output. You can also JSONView or JSONVue for that. #r...

  "State of AI Report" 2026 from Nathan Benaich of Air Street Capital. AI is already helping build better AI. According to Anthropic’s internal index, Claude led 26% of measured model R&D work in August, up from under 1% in February. Researchers set the tasks and supervise execution, and Anthropic reports that this is speeding up development. Summary article, video, and podcast: https://nathanbenaich.substack.com/p/state-of-ai-2026 The 244 page slidedeck: https://www....

  I'm playing around with Claude AI's new Artifacts feature. I used it to create a dashboard for AI and ML developments that I have made public as "The Long Context." The dashboard can be viewed publicly if you login to Claude first. You do not have to have a paid Claude account to view it - you just need to be logged into Claude to view Artifacts (which also prevents public search engines from indexing them). https://claude.ai/artifact/3KcezsrpcWKKf7QDD7Rj1s...

  I created an interactive simulation game, "After the Blackout," using Claude AI that simulates a crisis where most of the U.S. internet goes down after rogue AI agents impact it. The game was created using Claude's new Artifact feature, so you must be logged into Claude AI to use the weblink below. You can be logged in with a free Claude account, and I think this would also allow you to clone the game and modify it yourself. https://claude.ai/artifact/Y1hug2MSMevoC7h...

  Galefox is a domain intelligence search engine available at https://galefox.com . It calls itself a domain-first search engine that indexes one entry per website instead of one entry per webpage, which makes it better for discovering the best websites for a topic. It shows one result per domain that reduces duplicate results (& SEO effects) & encourages exploration. It is a niche search tool with a smaller index that is not going to replace Google type tools. #research #tech #scienc...

  "The State of Information Retrieval in 2026" This is the best survey article I have seen in a long time in this niche. The dominant retriever in 2026 is an 8-billion-parameter decoder-only language model fine-tuned on synthetic data, conditioned on natural-language instructions, often executing chain-of-thought reasoning before deciding what to retrieve. https://medium.com/@mohankrishnagr08/the-state-of-information-retrieval-in-2026-192f125a5269 #research #information...
