Reddit has spent the past six months blocking data scrapers from artificial intelligence companies that refused to pay for access to its vast content database. Now, the social media site has rolled out a new tool of its own that utilizes AI to search the site. And Reddit stock (Nasdaq: RDDT) is soaring, climbing 4% to $169 per share by mid-afternoon on Monday.

‘The smallest amount of power a person can go mad with’: The Muppet History fan page controversy, explained

A vague apology from the social media account behind Jim Henson’s Muppet History fan page has unraveled one of the year’s most unexpected social media scandals.

Created in October 2018, the Muppet History account (@HistoryMuppet) described itself as a “fan page dedicated to continuing the spirit and silliness of Jim Henson,” the legendary creator of the Muppets and Sesame Street classics like Elmo and Big Bird. The account amas

Minulý týden proběhl v ÚJV a.s. v Řeži diskusní panel pořádaný ve spolupráci s E15 a věnovaný malým modulárním reaktorům. Panelisté z ČEZ, SÚJB, MPO a ÚJV předložili jasnou koncepci rozvoje malých modulárních reaktorů v Česku.

Inteligentní sebevražedný dron HX-2 spojuje autonomii, přesnost a masové nasazení

Dron „X-wing” má na palubě umělou inteligenci, která mu poskytuje značnou autonomii a tím pádem i imunitu vůči mnohým systém elektronického boje. Je to specialista na přesné údery proti obrněncům. Může ale operovat ve velkých hejnech řízených jediným operátorem, která mohou být nasazena, na frontě nebo třeba na hranicích, jako štít proti mechanizovaným útokům. http://www.osel.cz/13813-inteligentni-sebevrazedny-dron-hx-2-spojuje-autonomii-presnost-a-masove-nasazeni.html

In defense of being ‘extremely online.’ The creator economy by the numbers

The online world, we are increasingly told, is as harmful as cigarette smoking. It undermines trust in institutions like the government and the news media, poisons our discourse, amplifies disinformation, shortens our attention spans, narrows our thinking, and makes kids anxious, depressed, and antisocial. The U.S. Surgeon General has urged that it be required to carry the

Helen Toner’s OpenAI exit only made her a more powerful force for responsible AI

On November 17, 2023, Helen Toner went from being a little-known member of OpenAI’s board of directors to one of the biggest influencers in the debate over responsible AI. Toner, an AI safety and policy expert, famously voted with the majority of OpenAI board members—along with Ilya Sutskever—to oust CEO Sam Altman over concerns about his honesty with the board, commitment to safe AI, and alleged abusive treatme

Je vývoj výtvarných stylů zákonitý?

How Alex Karp helped turn Palantir into the West’s AI arms dealer

Alex Karp, the chief executive of Palantir, knows his products can be dangerous. Built to extract insights from torrents of data with machine learning and AI, his company’s software is optimizing manufacturing and supply chains but also warfare and kill chains, helping target weapons in Ukraine and across the Middle East.

The cognitive cost of AI

I exist at the intersection of two worlds, management and artificial intelligence (AI), which are evolving at different paces.

TikTok ban: 5 essential reads on the case and its concerns

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on December 6, 2024, upheld a law requiring TikTok’s China-based parent company, ByteDance, to sell the video app by January 19, 2025, or face a nationwide ban on the app. The

Why Dion Harris believes Nvidia’s energy-intensive chips could actually help the climate

It takes a ton of energy to train the most advanced AI. According to one estimate, by the year 2027, AI electricity needs could be comparable to the energy use of all of Argentina.

TikTok’s latest viral food fad is sparking debate: Would you try freezing popcorn?

Apple’s M4 Mac mini is a tiny miracle. Inside the drastic redesign

I can’t overstate how radical Apple’s Mac mini was when it debuted in January 2005. It was tiny, measuring just 6.5 inches squared and two inches high—the smallest Mac ever. It boasted a new Bring-Your-Own (BYO) design model that enabled customers to use whichever monitor, keyboard, and mouse they liked with the computer—which was another departure from consumer Macs at the time, namely the iMac and eMac, which had all these accessories baked in. Such modularity conferred several advantages f

Breakthrough tech can no longer rely on CPUs

In 1993, Intel released the first Pentium processor. By today’s standards, it was primitive. At the time, it represented a major—and exciting—leap forward, even if it didn’t quite match the Macintosh’s Motorola 601 chip in sheer number-crunching performance.

The 1990s and 2000s were, generally speaking, a great time for the CPU industry. Every other year, there was something new. Intel’s MMX promised better performance in media and gaming applications. In 20
