The first true challenger to Google in decades? The Guardianreportedin December that OpenAI’s web search feature is vulnerable to prompt injection techniques. The flaw could be exploited to propagate misinformation, including fake reviews of products on e-commerce sites. It is unclear whether OpenAI has fixed the issue. However, OpenAI’s latest move could put pressure on Google as ChatGPT search becomes widely available. Featured on TechSpot

The problem is difficult to overstate. The European Union alone generated approximately five million tons of electronic waste in 2022. By 2030, global generation of e-waste isprojectedto increase to 74.7-82 million metric tons. Meanwhile, the current state of electronic recycling is far from ideal. Traditional recycling methods often involve manual dismantling, which is both costly and inefficient. Moreover, many devices end up being shredded, a process that limits the potential for recovering valuable components....

“…but in the future we will no longer have aspirational goals.” Another indication of the change came in Alphabet’s annual report. It had appeared in reports from 2021 to 2024. Google is also evaluating whether to continue releasing its diversity report that it has published since 2014. Google’s 2024 diversity report said 5.7% of its US employees were Black and 7.5% were Latino. That represents increases of 2% and 1.6%, respectively, compared to four years earlier....

The company faces trouble on all fronts, from foundry to consumer processors and server chips. The most dramatic fall occurred in 2023 when server processor volume plummeted by 50 percent of 2011’s count. Intel’s volume has fallen by over half since 2021. It’s <50% of the previous peak of 2020. Both will prove whether the company’s 18A node can compete against TSMC’s leading 3nm and 2nm processes. The Microsoft co-founder noted that Intel has fallen behind in foundry and chip design over the last decade....

Stanford and University of Washington researchers devised a technique to create a new AI model dubbed “s1.” They have already open-sourced it onGitHub, along with the code and data used to build it. A paperpublishedlast Friday explained how the team achieved these results through clever technical tricks. They extracted the reasoning capabilities from one of Google’s AI models specifically, Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking Experimental. They then trained the base model to mimic its step-by-step problem-solving process on a small dataset....

The AI features are designed to untangle the jargon found in most contracts. These new tools generate contract overviews, highlight key terms, and offer summaries. Adobe has made these new features available worldwide on desktop, web, and mobile platforms. Currently, the service supports only English, with plans to expand to other languages in the future. The AI can recommend questions users might want to explore further in the contract. The new features leverage a combination of LLMs and Adobe’s proprietary AI models....

For years, individuals have churned out “summaries” of popular books with little to no original content. A growing number of publishers and so-called “authors” specialize in the vendor slurry business. One example is IRB Media, which hashundreds of bookson Hoopla all AI-generated summaries of pre-existing titles. Lending such worthless content costs libraries money while delivering a disappointing, AI-powered reading experience.

The improvement often occurs because Mega Geometry can use up to 300MB less VRAM than older ray tracing APIs. The technology increases efficiency by changing how rays interact with triangles. Thus, ray tracing looks better when applied to swaying vegetation, tessellated surfaces, or other moving objects. Intel and AMD will likely introduce similar functionality. Alan Wake 2 received Mega Geometry in version 1.2.8. This update also introduced DLSS 4 multi-frame generation and the new AI transformer model thatreducesvisual artifacts....
