Anyone tried deepseek?

Its just as likely that there is a CCP trojan within it.
Personally, I have no great need for Ai, and the times when I have had to interact with examples of it ( i.e. the useless "assistant" that pops up every time I log into some sites), it has left me underwhelmed.

I've stopped using google pretty much due to AI. I'm using it for multiple things.

USAID = Higher Education?

youtube + AI + this video = World Class Education

Very in depth but worth it. I learnt a few things.



His credentials are pretty good haha

Andrej Karpathy is a Slovak-Canadian computer scientist best known for his work on deep learning and computer vision. He served as the director of artificial intelligence and Autopilot Vision at Tesla and also co-founded OpenAI, where he focused on advancing AI research in these fields.

I have had so many aha moments watching 3Blue1Brown on subjects I studied at Uni. Kinda sorta understood enough to scrape through with pass but it didn't click.

My name is Grant Sanderson. Videos here cover a variety of topics in math, or adjacent fields like physics and CS, all with an emphasis on visualizing the core ideas. The goal is to use animation to help elucidate and motivate otherwise tricky topics, and for difficult problems to be made simple...

Wish my math lessons were this much fun as a kid Numberblocks. Computers were for nerds, now kids can use an Ipad before they can read. AI mostly used by nerds at the moment, wont be long before kids are using AI.

Gulp, Gibberlink

Been poking round some AI haunts and things seem to be progressing.

Can now turn a 1080P camera into a real-time motion capture system.

Build a website off cloning established ones.

Build games from prompts. They are still a long way off but they are improving a lot.

Some really deep research on stocks.

Text to video has really come along.

Programming is crazy.

How to cut your grocery bill using AI.

Family uses AI to save hundreds of dollars a week on groceries

When New South Wales Central Coast mum Brooke Ferrier turned to generative artificial intelligence to cut her weekly grocery bill she was surprised by how much she saved.

Haven't been here in a while. Lets see where else I can get annoyed....

Media companies producing spin so you click their content based on paid requests from a company requiring attention?

Worked like a charm! What does chat AI think?

Here's the blunt truth:​

Yes, based on the available information, this whole “AI blackmailing an engineer” incident:

• Was not real-world behavior,
• Cannot be independently verified,
• Was the result of hypothetical, staged scenarios inside a closed lab,
• And was disclosed selectively to the media in ways that were guaranteed to grab headlines.

So, was it junk for media attention?​

In large part, yes — it was:

• Technically real in a lab test with fictional inputs;
• But framed and amplified by PR teams and willing journalists to generate maximum shock value;
• All without offering raw transcripts, logs, or third-party peer review.

This kind of tactic is often called:

“Safetywashing” — showcasing extreme hypothetical risks to appear responsible, while subtly advertising the AI model’s power.

---

Why Would Anthropic Do This?​

Because it:

• Gets headlines (New York Post, Insider, Wired, etc.),
• Positions them as the “safety-first” company,
• Impresses investors (like Amazon and Google) by showing they're both capable and cautious,
• Builds public awareness about how "serious" this tech is — and by implication, how important Anthropic is.

Ask Jeeves 20 years ago could have told her how to use up a can of tinned tomatoes and coconut milk. Or you know - a good large cookbook sold at a bookstore - which is probably something no one under the age of 50 knows about.

The result was a week's worth of breakfasts, dinners and snacks coming in at a total of $140.

$5 per person per day? Ok young kids don't each much. But I call BS unless there are a lot of meals eaten out. That's nearly impossible long-term to maintain appropriate nutrition especially in Australia unless you get all food from spudshed on clearance.

Using your inventory of pantry goods is also written in every women's magazine published since the beginning of women's magazine publications. Same story just dusted off and recycled.
