Ask HN: How to keep up with non-mainstream AI developments

3 pointsterabytest5 comments

This article[1] made me realize that there’s a whole extra layer of “underground” knowledge in the developing field of generative AI. I’ve been trying to keep up and dive deeper but I don’t really know where to look for this information (other than HN).

Where do I go to keep up with AI?

You can make a nice habit of checking sources like

https://news.bensbites.co

+ also his newsletter

news.niek.ai ( is a search with ai as a filter )

https://github.com/dair-ai/Prompt-Engineering-Guide ( made an easy to remember synced repo link at ai.niek.ai )

A few times a day checking Hackernews top 60 & occasionally sifting through the "New" page. ( Not efficient, but kinda works )

Also keeping an eye on Twitter, following OpenAI, but also the companies like StabilityAI, Deepmind etc. + the model generation ( e.g. Llama offsprings, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion ) & following AI Researchers in and around these projects.

Can I ask what is your purpose to keep up with it? The answer can better direct your actions.

E.g: If you don't want to miss out on groundbreaking tools, just casualy visiting HN will allow such projects to hit you in the face when they get enough momentum

if you want to dive in AI as a technology then start doing courses on ML and then neural networks and move on from there to other AI tech.

if you are just curious to obeserve what is happening in this innovative space, I would join some project's discord where tons of discussions are happening and people share tons of resources and projects with each other, eg auto-gpt discord is such a place

I’m not AI researcher, and I only barely understand the theory, so I’m just looking to keep slightly ahead of the curve so I can adapt to whatever is coming next, try new things and projects, and add these new tools to my belt before others.

I believe that trying to follow everything is going to difficult. And trying to check-in few times a day is a time drain for casual readers. So, I created weekly newsletter:

https://gptweekly.beehiiv.com/

The focus is going to be on top 5 news + 10 news and interesting reads (including open source projects) + 3 learning links. The focus of the newsletter are casual readers who want to stay ahead of the curve.

Next week's edition goes out on Monday and it'll cover the linked news and more.

it's scattered throughout various mastodons and discords and githubs
