Artificial Intelligence - General News

If he throws his weight around more more, he is going to find himself in a dark alley and no 911.
What would the reward be?
 
Apparently all the tech bros are sweating bullets over this especially when China just casually threw this out as open source.

The Chinese startup DeepSeek released an AI reasoning model that appears to rival the abilities of a frontier model from OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT.

Anyone feel like Silicon Valley have badly misjudged China on their AI progress?

The Chinese optimize their models better because of the hardware restrictions imposed on by the chip ban. Simply put, DeepSeek runs better on less capable hardware, and the pricing rate is so low anyone can afford it.

It's really a wake up call for AI devs in the US whom are so accustomed to using overpowered hardware that they can't bother with optimization. Same situation with games.

Nvidia shares is hitting lows, and if China could pump out their own chips and drivers at fire sale prices, rock bottom.
 
In what is called "The west" the MO is always to go for 'bigger and faster', which loosely translates into 'more profit'.

It also translates into, "Windows 10 will be our last OS, just updates from now on", and on to, |"Windows 11 and now Windows 12" because, "We are not making enough profit".

My favourite, "Windows 11 enables people to go and buy a new PC (Because we say you have to, which makes our friends happy)".

Cynical? Moi?
 
Bubble about to burst?

Investors punished global tech stocks on Monday after the emergence of a Chinese chatbot competitor to OpenAI’s ChatGPT, DeepSeek, raised doubts about the sustainability of the US artificial intelligence boom.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq index in New York opened lower after investors digested the implications of the latest AI model developed by the startup DeepSeek.

DeepSeek apparently just restricted registrations to Chinese phone numbers only. A shame.

Does that apply to their mobile app as well. Because if they have they should update their notes on western app stores, or pull it altogether. I had no trouble signing up for it.

What’s more impressive still is it was built off of relatively lower power chips, because of the chip ban to China, bringing into question this constant quest for more and more powerful hardware, using more and more power. TBH this last point seems good news for things like spaceflight if you can run powerful AI applications on older hardware with lower power requirements.
 
I hope that the new US administration has the common sense not to thoughtlessly launch itself into another space race, like the one that started the press with the expression Sputnik-Kaputnik, instead of perfecting the Dyna Soar and avoiding involvement in Vietnam.

So to train your AI, you gather information all over the internet & publications, effectively bypassing copyrights. Than you take that trained product and convert its output in a business model.
So far so good.
Another firm trains its AI through sparring it up with yours (and paying for it, I guess) and now, you are complaining about copyright infringements (“data belonging to”)?
Cute

Upstart DeepSeek faces heightened scrutiny as AI wows

Beijing (AFP) Jan 29, 2025 - With around six million dollars and a stockpile of chips acquired before Washington banned their export to China, startup DeepSeek has produced what Chinese tech titans couldn't - a world-class AI chatbot.

That's for the best anyway, they needed a correction in price.

Another commentary on Microsoft's 'Copilot' program

Remember “Clippy”? This was the “virtual assistant” that popped up whenever you were using Microsoft Word back around the turn of the millennium. You’d be in your word processor, minding your own business, and when you typed the word “Dear” and then someone’s name, this goggly-eyed paperclip would pop up on screen and say: “It looks like you’re writing a letter. Would you like help?” And at that point, you’d stop writing a letter and waste 45 minutes trying to figure out how to turn Clippy off, for good, ideally with napalm.
