DeepSeek has called into question Big AI’s trillion-dollar assumption

Recently, Chinese startup DeepSeek created state-of-the art AI models using far less computing power and capital than anyone thought possible. It then showed its work in published research papers and by allowing its models to explain the reasoning process that led to this answer or that. It also scored at or near the top in a range of benchmark tests,

Why did DeepSeek tell me it’s made by Microsoft?

The release of Chinese AI company DeepSeek’s R1 model on January 20 triggered a surprise nuclear event in American tech markets this week. The model’s ability to outperform OpenAI’s industry-leading language model, o1, on key benchmarks at a fraction of the cost implied that artificial intelligence companies could do much more with much less. Stock in Nvidia, which suppli

Bookshop.org is launching e-books to help local bookstores compete with Amazon’s Kindle

Andy Hunter decided something needed to be done about the endless rise of Amazon in 2018—the year that the e-commerce giant surpassed 50% of book sales in the U.S. market. “I was concerned at that rate of growth,” says founder and CEO of Bookshop.org. Hunter did a back of a napkin projection and figured that by 2025, Amazon would have secured an 80% share of the U.S. market.

That worried Hunter, who had long worked in the publishing industry, especially when paired with stats showi

Viry vzdorují: Očkování proti ptačí chřipce zřejmě pohání evoluci příslušného viru

Viry jsou neustále před námi. Rychle se vyvíjejí a hned reagují na každý náš tah. Týká se to i očkování proti ptačí chřipce. V zemích, kde očkují drůbež ve velkém, jako je třeba Čína, prodělávají viry rychlejší evoluci. Tam, kde neočkují, je zase více infekcí. O to víc platí, že musíme viry závažných infekcí neustále monitorovat, i když máme k dispozici vakcínu. http://www.osel.cz/13885-viry-vzdoruji-ockovani-proti-ptaci-chripce-zrejme-pohani-evoluci-prislusneho-viru.html

Everything wrong with the AI landscape in 2025, hilariously captured in this ‘SNL’ sketch

“Isn’t AI supposed to make things simpler?” asks a student in ">a new Saturday Night Live sketch.

Technically, the answer is yes. Artificial intelligence is often pitched as a future-forward omni-tool for removing friction from everyday tasks. Of course, the student in this sketch (SNL cast member Sarah Sherman) only asks her question after AI has made one such task even more complicated. An

Did you show ‘negative sentiment’ for insurance companies after the UHC CEO shooting? Police were watching

When news broke that the United Healthcare CEO was shot in broad daylight early last month, outrage erupted online. But it wasn’t aimed at the assassin. Instead, it was directed at the broken U.S. healthcare system he represented. But, it turns out, for those who expressed “negative sentiment” about insurance companies online, the government was watching.
