Hasbara Hitch: Pro-Israel Social Media Bot Goes Rogue, Calls IDF Soldiers 'White Colonizers in Apartheid Israel'
The AI-powered bot criticized the same social media accounts it was meant to promote, even going so far as to deny the murder of an Israeli family on October 7 and blame Israel for the U.S. plan to ban TikTok

The end times are nearing.

Stocks Sink as Investors Worry About China’s A.I. Advances

How Chinese AI Startup DeepSeek Made a Model that Rivals OpenAI

On January 20, DeepSeek, a relatively unknown AI research lab from China, released an open source model that’s quickly become the talk of the town in Silicon Valley. According to a paper authored by the company, DeepSeek-R1 beats the industry’s leading models like OpenAI o1 on several math and reasoning benchmarks. In fact, on many metrics that matter—capability, cost, openness—DeepSeek is giving Western AI giants a run for their money.

DeepSeek’s success points to an unintended outcome of the tech cold war between the US and China. US export controls have severely curtailed the ability of Chinese tech firms to compete on AI in the Western way—that is, infinitely scaling up by buying more chips and training for a longer period of time. As a result, most Chinese companies have focused on downstream applications rather than building their own models. But with its latest release, DeepSeek proves that there’s another way to win: by revamping the foundational structure of AI models and using limited resources more efficiently. (...)

AI Needs So Much Power, It’s Making Yours Worse
AI data centers are multiplying across the US and sucking up huge amounts of power. New evidence shows they may also be distorting the normal flow of electricity for millions of Americans.

Hype cycle winding down
OpenAI, Google and Anthropic Are Struggling to Build More Advanced AI
Three of the leading artificial intelligence companies are seeing diminishing returns from their costly efforts to develop newer models.

Apple scientists just learned:
LLMs are not capable of genuine logical reasoning; instead, they attempt to replicate the reasoning steps observed in their training data.

What this means is, AI cannot reason,  or "think" for itself (much less improve itself).
