OpenAI says it is reviewing evidence that the Chinese start-up DeepSeek broke its terms of service by harvesting large amounts of data from its A.I technologies.The San Francisco-based start-up, which is now valued at $157 billion, said that DeepSeek may have used data generated by OpenAI technologies to teach similar skills to its own systems.This process, called distillation, is common across the A.I. field. But OpenAI’s terms of service say that the company does not allow anyone to use data generated by its systems to build technologies that compete in the same market.“We know that groups in the P.R.C. are…

A massive round of applause is in order for Donald Trump’s executive order to reinstate service members who were discharged from the military for refusing the COVID-19 vaccination. Not only will these men and women be reinstated, but they will receive back pay and benefits. “The Executive Order directs the Secretary of Defense to reinstate all members of the military (active and reserve) who were discharged for refusing the COVID vaccine and who request to be reinstated,” according to the White House fact sheet. The Department of Defense and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin should be ashamed. The Biden Administration…
Credit: Screenshot via PBS NewsHour Donald Trump’s White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, held her debut press conference with reporters on Tuesday. It was a breath of fresh air following four years of binders, circling back, outrageous falsehoods, and general incompetence. Leavitt may not have needed the binder, but she was well-prepared all the same. As evidenced by an exchange with an Associated Press reporter who wanted to know how the media could be certain she wouldn’t lie to them. Which is a pretty gutsy assertion coming from a member of the dying legacy media. “A question that we’ve asked…
It’s no secret that Caitlin Clark is a massive fan of Taylor Swift. The WNBA Rookie of the Year has been open about her love for the pop superstar, praising her for her talent on the stage during her record-breaking “Eras Tour.”After attending the show, Swift gifted the basketball player a goodie basket full of show merch and told the young hooper that she’d be interested in hanging out. Luckily for them, they’re both huge fans of the Kansas City Chiefs, so their first public outing at Arrowhead Stadium made perfect sense.During a recent interview, Caitlin Clark discussed what made…
WASHINGTON: ChatGPT creator OpenAI on Wednesday (Jan 29) said that Chinese companies are actively attempting to replicate its advanced AI models, prompting increased security measures and closer cooperation with US authorities. OpenAI’s statement came after Chinese startup DeepSeek sparked panic on Wall Street this week with its powerful new chatbot developed at a fraction of the cost of its US competitors. DeepSeek’s performance has sparked a wave of accusations that it has reverse-engineered the capabilities of leading US technology, such as the AI powering ChatGPT. OpenAI said rivals were using a process known as distillation in which developers creating smaller models…
Rwanda-backed M23 rebels have tightened their grip on Goma, the biggest city in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), signalling a major blow to the Congolese army and a serious escalation in a years-long conflict that has seen hundreds of people killed and millions displaced. March 23 Movement (M23) fighters entered Goma on Sunday and claimed to have taken control of the city a day later. Three days of clashes between Congolese armed forces and the Rwanda-backed M23 rebels have killed more than 100 people and wounded nearly 1,000 people in Goma. On Wednesday, while fighting in the…
The three-point contest between Stephen Curry and Sabrina Ionescu was the highlight of an otherwise abysmal 2024 NBA All-Star weekend. The event was so successful that chatter ensued of another intergender three-point contest in 2025, this time pitting Curry and Klay Thompson against Ionescu and Caitlin Clark. With the All-Star weekend looming, Thompson recently admitted that “it’d be fun” to participate in an NBA versus WNBA shootout. Even Ionsecuo has shared her enthusiasm about returning to the NBA stage after wowing fans last year by outscoring many male players with a score of 26. Clark, though, is not enthused about the idea.…

And maybe if Trump had been re-elected in 2020, that’s how it would be. But he wasn’t. So between 2021 and 2025, the ferment driving MAGA’s ideas deepened quite a bit. The nature of its coalition expanded quite a bit.I’m not sure Trump himself cares much about this fight over ideas, these…

Is space-time the fabric of the universe, or is there something deeper?Shutterstock/Mohd. Afuza What is the structure of our physical reality? Physicists have long imagined space and time interweaving into “space-time”, the metaphorical fabric that underlies the cosmos. But there may be something even more fundamental. Instead of space-time’s three spatial dimensions and one of time, the physics of our world could be encoded into a set of odd geometrical shapes – and studying them may chart a new, space-time-free path towards a theory of everything. “The idea is that space-time somehow has to go, that it has to… Source…
