Soaring optimism about AI has set off a huge global boom in data center construction that could be storing up problems for the future if the sector suffers a sudden correction. That’s the thinly-disguised message from two interventions by the Bank of England (BoE) last week. The first was an analysis, published on Friday, that

US President Donald J. Trump owns the tech industry. Many of the world’s largest and most influential tech firms and their leaders, including those at Alphabet, Amazon, Apple and Meta, have gone all-in on MAGA — praising Trump’s leadership and policies, and doing his bidding. There’s been one notable holdout: Microsoft.  The company’s CEO, Satya

It’s clear your company needs to accelerate its AI adoption. What’s less clear is how to do that without it being a free-for-all. After all, your best employees aren’t waiting on you to establish standards; they’re already actively using AI. Yes, your developers are feeding code into ChatGPT regardless of any policy you may be

If you’re a software developer or architect, you might wonder if programming certifications are still worth the effort, especially in the era of rapid AI-driven evolution. The short answer is, it depends. “Certifications are shifting from a checkbox to a compass. They’re less about proving you memorized syntax and more about proving you can architect

Java’s powerful and mature ecosystem has long been a top choice for enterprise applications. However, its traditional strengths have presented challenges in serverless environments, particularly concerning the performance penalty known as the cold start. My goal was to build high-throughput, event-driven systems on AWS Lambda without abandoning the Java ecosystem, which meant tackling the cold

I discussed how PagedAttention cracked the code on LLM memory chaos in Unlocking LLM superpowers: How PagedAttention helps the memory maze. Now let’s review another component known as continuous batching or unified batch scheduling. Think of it as the ultimate warehouse manager for your GPU’s brain, organizing information so efficiently that it eliminates wasted space

We grumble about political polarization, but there’s even less agreement about artificial intelligence (AI).  Zoomers believe AI will bring big benefits to humanity, downplaying the risks and problems.  LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman wrote in a January New York Times Op-Ed that AI in the hands of regular users will boost human creativity and control and democratize knowledge and innovation by giving billions of people access to reasoning tools once reserved for experts.  Microsoft co-founder

The first thing that stands out about Fantasy GF’s Hentai Generator is how unapologetically it leans into fantasy. If you’ve ever scrolled through endless galleries wishing you could tweak a character’s look, pose, or even the entire scene to match your own imagination—this is pretty much the toolkit that makes it possible. Unlike generic AI

Researchers and users of LLMs have long been aware that AI models have a troubling tendency to tell people what they want to hear, even if that means being less accurate. But many reports of this phenomenon amount to mere anecdotes that don’t provide much visibility into how common this sycophantic behavior is across frontier

For millennia, some of the world’s largest filter-feeding whales, including humpbacks, fin whales, and blue whales, have undertaken some of the longest migrations on earth to travel between their warm breeding grounds in the tropics to nutrient-rich feeding destinations in the poles each year. “Nature has finely tuned these journeys, guided by memory and environmental
