Where I'm getting AI News nowadays
Although I still maintain a Twitter and Bluesky account to follow researcher accounts, I avoid opening these websites as they can get a bit toxic towards both sides of the political spectrum. For the past year, I find the following resources helpful for getting up to date in AI research:
- AI News is really good. Every night they send you a summary of topics and discussions in various social media sites, Discord servers, and subreddits. A good way to get an overview of all things AI.
- Scholar Inbox is perfect for academics. You curate your list of research topics and then they send you recommendations of new arXiv papers that release everyday. This is really nice to get the “first scoop” of preprints before they are announced in social media.
- Interconnects is like Stratechery for NLP written by someone who’s actually in the trenches. A lot of insightful opinions and it gives you a nice synthesis of the field itself.
- r/LocalLlama is probably the best AI/NLP subreddit right now. Most of the comments are informative, and seem to come from actual practitioners. I think it’s a good way to get a general vibe of the field itself.
