AI Detection Is Too Unreliable for Our Classrooms

Ever since students discovered generative AI tools like ChatGPT, educators have been on high alert. Fearing a surge in AI-assisted cheating, many schools turned to AI detection software as a supposed shield of academic integrity. Programs such as Turnitin’s AI-writing detector, GPTZero, and Copyleaks promise to sniff out text written by AI by analyzing patterns and word choices (Teaching @ JHU). These tools typically scan an essay and spit out a score or percentage indicating how “human” or “AI-like” the writing is. On the surface, it sounds like the perfect high-tech solution to an AI cheating epidemic. But here’s the

ComfyUI Notebook for RunPod | Weird Wonderful AI Art

This post is related to the ComfyUI Notebook that I have created for RunPod and is available for purchase on our Shop for a small fee. This fee helps support the blog and channel to keep creating the wonderful content for you. The notebook is made by us to get to started with using ComfyUI in under 5 mins on RunPod. This idea came to me when I got tired of many ComfyUI images built by the community taking too long to start up (some take up to 30mins) which wastes the GPU time which you are paying for on

The Morning After: At MWC 2025, Lenovo is experimenting with its screens, a lot

Lenovo hasn’t even released its futuristic laptop with a rollable screen, but it’s rejigged all those parts into a whole new thing for MWC in Barcelona. Officially called the (no typos), the laptop uses the same flexible OLED in its rollable, However, instead of disappearing inside its chassis, the display folds outwards. This allows what is normally a 13-inch panel to double to 18.1 inches. Notably, because the Flip’s screen bends instead of sliding in and out of the bottom half of the system, Lenovo can use the panel’s full area. And, just to drill home that it’s a concept,

MIPS launches Atlas chip designs for industrial robots and autonomous cars

MIPS is launching its Atlas chip designs for physical AI platforms such as industrial robots and autonomous cars. The aim is to drive real-time intelligence into physical AI, said Sameer Wasson, CEO of MIPS, in an interview with GamesBeat. The new MIPS Atlas product suite delivers compute subsystems that empower autonomous edge solutions to sense, think and act with precision, driving innovation across the growing physical AI opportunity in industrial robotics and autonomous platform markets. San Jose, California-based MIPS is targeting its MIPS Atlas portfolio at automotive, industrial and embedded technology companies so they can deploy safe, secure and efficient

[D] LF Data annotators for machine learning

Hey everyone! I’m working on a computer vision project that’s giving me a bit of a headache. I’m building a custom object detection model for a pretty niche use case: identifying and classifying industrial machine parts (screws, bolts, and custom components) in low-light factory environments. It’s not something I can just pull off the shelf from a public dataset, and automated labeling tools are struggling because the parts are often overlapping, partially obscured, or look super similar to each other. After wrestling with this for a while, I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to go the manual labeling

Is AI progress slowing down?

By Arvind Narayanan, Benedikt Ströbl, and Sayash Kapoor. After the release of GPT-4 in March 2023, the dominant narrative in the tech world was that continued scaling of models would lead to artificial general intelligence and then superintelligence. Those extreme predictions gradually receded, but up until a month ago, the prevailing belief in the AI industry was that model scaling would continue for the foreseeable future. Then came three back-to-back news reports from The Information, Reuters, and Bloomberg revealing that three leading AI developers — OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini — had all run into problems with their next-gen models.

Ethical Considerations and Best Practices in LLM Development 

Bias is inherent to building a ML model. Bias exists on a spectrum. Our job is to tell the difference between the desirable bias and the one that needs correction. We can identify biases using benchmarks like StereoSet and BBQ, and minimize them with ongoing monitoring across versions and iterations. Adhering to data protection laws is not as complex if we focus less on the internal structure of the algorithms and more on the practical contexts of use. To keep data secure throughout the model’s lifecycle, implement these practices: data anonymization, secure model serving and privacy penetration tests. Transparency can

GPT-4.5 vs GPT-4o: Is GPT-4.5 Really Better?

OpenAI has been at the top of the generative AI game for the last 3 years, releasing one ground breaking model after the other. Yesterday, they released GPT-4.5, a model with a higher EQ and creative sense for everyday tasks. The model competes with OpenAI’s flagship and by far the most used model – GPT-4o – which is great at text generation, logical reasoning, and even coding. While not launched as a direct replacement for this model, GPT-4.5 is hyped to be a bigger and more advanced model, owing to its higher pricing. In this GPT-4.5 vs GPT-4o comparison, we
