There's a LOT of non-Deepmind research as well, some things that have actually been published before Deepmind.

Don't get me wrong, Deepmind puts out a lot of great work, but do look at other research labs as well, especially the ones that aren't as well known. Deepmind markets their research really well, but there's a ton of other labs doing good work as well.

Any tips on how to find the more obscure stuff? http://kurzweilai.net occasionally bubbles up really crazy stuff, but perhaps there is a journal or other curated resource you know of.

I'd recommend following Miles Brundage on Twitter, dude goes through a mind boggling number of papers and uncovers loads of hidden gems.
