DeepSeek’s R1 model is challenging the very foundations of the past two years of generative AI hype, wiping $1 trillion of the value of major US tech companies.
But it’s also another example that the US strategy to try to contain Chinese tech is failing — and pushing them to get even more creative.

The fact that Deepseek R1 was released three days /before/ Stargate means these guys stood in front of Trump and said they needed half a trillion dollars while they knew R1 was open source and trained for $5M.
Beautiful.
Beautiful.

I've reached a critical point in my umpteenth attempt at playing through Assassin's Creed Odyssey—where the map starts to feel increasingly huge with all those map markers. This is usually where I quit. This time I've vowed to keep playing

To celebrate Madison Keys’ stunning run to the #AusOpen title—and a big Bounces Bounce™️—I’ve taken the paywall off this article from days ago about how Keys retooled herself into a Slam champion with a racquet switch in the off-season.
Enjoy!

Expecting Nole to play through an injury to "show he's on the level of Nadal" is bonkers

I've been playing some God of War: Ragnarok since they added it to PS Plus Extra. But man, something just isn't right. The first game had my attention immediately, the combat was interesting with the hammer and when you eventually get into upgrading gear and get the full arsenal...what a game!

Booing a world-class tennis legend because of an injury is just the absolute worst kind of behavior from a sports "fan". Absolutely unacceptable #AusOpen
After the first set going to Zverev 7-6(5), Djokovic is forced to retire.
Get well soon Novak ❤️🩹

Can someone explain the purpose of the Netflix Jerry Springer documentary to me please? Like all I learned in two episodes was that the show was controversial, which I kinda already knew.
