Is Chinese AI dominance here?

機器人代理隨時為您服務 is Mandarin for “the robot-agents are at your service.” Luckily, English will suffice for meeting the buzzy new Chinese AI assistant Manus that went viral earlier this month, prompting some to proclaim it the next DeepSeek-level challenge to Silicon Valley.

Developed by a subsidiary of the China-based startup Butterfly Effect, Manus is billed as the first truly autonomous AI agent.

As Dean W. Ball stated: The most sophisticated computer using ai now comes from a Chinese startup, full stop. Scary, also good bye personal assistants soon lmfao, byebye jobs.

Microsoft, others introduce breakthroughs in quantum computing

Just two years removed from the AI explosion, are we on the verge of another computing revolution?

Microsoft’s new Majorana 1 chip, announced Feb. 19, could provide the jumping off point for a quantum leap. The chip utilizes Majorana particles—particles that are cooled to exist in a state of having no charge—through its topological superconductor, a world-first technological breakthrough that could accelerate the quantum computing timeline.

Um, when you mix game changing technologies with another, disaster awaits... Quantum AI that can hack into anything and compute even faster, then what...

Trump’s AI ambition and China’s DeepSeek overshadow an AI summit in Paris

 The geopolitics of artificial intelligence will be in focus at a major summit in France where world leaders, executives and experts will hammer out pledges on guiding the development of the rapidly advancing technology.

OpenAI Set to Make Super Bowl Ad Debut

OpenAI, the artificial-intelligence company behind ChatGPT, is expected to air its first TV commercial during Sunday’s Super Bowl, according to people familiar with the matter.

Founded in 2015, the OpenAI brand took off in late 2022 when it launched its wildly popular chatbot, ChatGPT. While Open AI has become one of the best known companies in the AI space, it achieved that feat with little help from paid advertising. 

Isn't it funny how we all let this happen, how OpenAI became a world renowned company that has now ingrained itself in every aspect of society? It's not even just OpenAI, THERE WERE A LOT OF AI COMPANIES that can afford an 8 million ad slot, the future is here...

Scale AI CEO says China has quickly caught the U.S. with the DeepSeek open-source model

The U.S. may have led China in the artificial intelligence race for the past decade, according to Alexandr Wang, CEO of Scale AI, but on Christmas Day, everything changed.

Wang, whose company provides training data to key AI players including OpenAI, Google and Meta, said Thursday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that DeepSeek, the leading Chinese AI lab, released an “earth-shattering model” on Christmas Day, then followed it up with a powerful reasoning-focused AI model, DeepSeek-R1, which competes with OpenAI’s recently released o1 model.

This is old news but haha wow, look at that, we already at the cold war era of arms racing of technology, how is no one concerned about foreign powers getting AI that is not regulated whatsoever?

Earlier this week, Meta executive Connor Hayes told the Financial Times that the company is going to roll out AI character profiles on Instagram and Facebook that “exist on our platforms, kind of in the same way that accounts do … they’ll have bios and profile pictures and be able to generate and share content powered by AI on the platform.” 

Sorry for the delay, some personal things I needed to take care of. For this AI story, it does not surprise me at all at what meta is doing, gross as usual.
