DeepSeek IPO: the Chinese AI the state controls and the market finances

DeepSeek is preparing to go public in Shanghai with a $71,000 million valuation—and one detail that changes everything: the only outside investor with voting rights is the Chinese state. Tencent put in $1,400 million with no voting rights, no board seat, and a 5-year lockup. Beijing's state AI fund, by contrast, entered

The Einstein test that no AI has passed

Yes, Hassabis proposes surpassing what he calls the Einstein test. It involves training a machine on all human knowledge up to 1901 and seeing whether it can formulate special relativity from scratch in 1905. That requires genuine conceptual leaps, not just summarizing previous information. Today's language models are

The Great Gap Between AI's Promises and Reality

A little over a year ago, the head of one of the largest artificial intelligence companies on the planet claimed that by this time the machine would be writing practically all the world's software.

How AI Is Breaking the Way Programmers Learn

Right. If a newly graduated programmer no longer has to do the simplest tasks because a virtual assistant handles them, how will they gain the experience needed to become a systems architect? It's impossible. No one learns to design complex systems without spending years solving small

They sold Europe’s future to save a typewriter

In 1964, they sold the electronics division to General Electric. It is a classic example of European financial shortsightedness: selling the technology of the future in an attempt to protect the old mechanical typewriters that generated short-term profits. Fortunately, engineer Perotto’s team saved the Programma 101 with a l

NASA used this Italian computer before any PC

On Christmas in 1968, the astronauts of the Apollo 8 mission were orbiting the Moon and relying, to verify the calculations for their safe return to Earth, on a machine designed not in Houston, but in a small town in northern Italy. And it wasn't a top-secret military prototype, but a commercial machine that any company could buy at a store for about three thousand dollars at the time. Which is right. It was called Programma 101, and it is considered by most technology historians to be the first commercial personal computer in history.
