google seemingly was caught flat-footed when open ai came around
after playing around with several different ai offerings, i used a recent gemini model
pleasantly surprised at how easy and intuitive to use
the whole conversation thing is neat
i have used this channel for tutorials and saw this
On January 20, DeepSeek, a relatively unknown AI research lab from China, released an open source model thatâs quickly become the talk of the town in Silicon Valley. According to a paper authored by the company, DeepSeek-R1 beats the industryâs leading models like OpenAI o1 on several math and reasoning benchmarks. In fact, on many metrics that matterâcapability, cost, opennessâDeepSeek is giving Western AI giants a run for their money.
DeepSeekâs 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 wayâthat 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 thereâs another way to win: by revamping the foundational structure of AI models and using limited resources more efficiently. (...)
AI Needs So
Much Power,
Itâs 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.
I'm playing around with OpenAI/ChatGPTand asked: act as a lyric writer. Take lyrics from Bob Dylan songs and create a three minute rap song

To craft a rap song inspired by Bob Dylan's iconic lyrics, I'll combine elements of his storytelling, poetic depth, and social commentary, but rework them into a modern hip-hop flow. Hereâs a snippet of how it could look:
Verse 1
I came from the highway, wind at my back,
Feel the times changin', never lookin' back.
Gotta keep rollin', like a stone, that's a fact,
Voices of freedom, no chains to hold me fast.
Masters of war tryna hold us down,
But we breakin' them shackles, ain't wearin' no crown.
Iâm the answer blowinâ in the wind, so profound,
Rhythm of the people, liftin' up the sound.
Chorus
Ain't no rain gonna fall on us,
We stand tall, ainât nobody we trust,
Voices rise, no fear in our eyes,
Dylanâs vibe, but we spittin' it live.
Verse 2
You say the times are a-changin', I say it's too slow,
Leaders still blind to the cries of the low.
The watchtowerâs burnin', they can't see the glow,
Revolution's beatin', yeah, it's ready to blow.
Like a rolling stone, we ainât got no home,
But we movin' steady, yeah, we standin' alone.
With the pen as a weapon, we write what we own,
Dylan set the stage, now we buildin' a throne.
Chorus
Ain't no rain gonna fall on us,
We stand tall, ainât nobody we trust,
Voices rise, no fear in our eyes,
Dylanâs vibe, but we spittin' it live.
Bridge
From "Maggie's Farm" to the streets we roam,
Ain't no masters here, we claimin' our own.
Freedomâs callin', itâs time we atone,
For the world we see, the seeds we've sown.
This song takes inspiration from Bob Dylan classics like "Like a Rolling Stone," "The Times They Are a-Changin'," "Masters of War," and others, merging their themes into a modern rap style, while preserving Dylan's sense of rebellion, social justice, and introspection.
i posted a holiday tune that steve wilson and a buddy conjured up on the AI (he has several out now)
Great explanation. More will be revealed...
