The AI Industry Just Got Some Horrible News

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-24 15:48:50

For years now, big tech and its financial backers have been blowing past the warning signs that human-level AI — the theoretical technology with hundreds of billions of dollars riding on it — could turn out to be a pipe-dream, at best. Now, however, Wall Street appears to be yanking its money out of one of the largest datacenter providers in the game, possibly an early indicator that reality could be finally catching up to the massively hype-dependent AI industry.

Apple has long been rumored to have a new Mac Pro in development, and a new report suggests it will come with a more powerful chip than we’ve yet seen: the M4 Ultra. Earlier this year, Apple was expected to have two pro-focused hardware updates coming: a new Mac Studio and also the next-gen Mac Pro. The Mac Studio launched in March, but there’s been no update on a new Mac Pro since then. Now, a Macworld report indicates that’s because it will come with a brand new chip that’s still in develop

Apple Watch gets reformulated, non-patent-infringing blood oxygen monitoring

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-24 16:44:25

In early 2024, Apple removed a blood oxygen monitoring feature from its then-current Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 watches, following a ruling that the feature violated light-based pulse oximetry patents from a California-based company called Masimo. Removing the feature allowed Apple to circumvent an import ban and continue selling the Series 9 and Ultra 2 (and, later, the Series 10) in the US. Today, Apple announced that it's restoring a version of the blood oxygen monitoring feature to af

What's the strongest AI model you can train on a laptop in five minutes?

What’s the strongest model I can train on my MacBook Pro in five minutes? I’ll give the answer upfront: the best 5-minute model I could train was a ~1.8M-param GPT-style transformer trained on ~20M TinyStories tokens, reaching ~9.6 perplexity on a held-out split. Here’s an example of the output, with the prompt bolded: Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Tim. Tim had a small box that he liked to play with. He would push the box to open.

I’m Watching Every Conjuring Movie Before 'The Conjuring: Last Rites.' Here’s Where to Stream Them All

When The Conjuring debuted in 2013, directed by James Wan, the movie felt like a throwback to atmospheric 1970s horror flicks such as The Changeling or The Manitou. From its simple opening title card -- yellow text on a black background -- to its relatively little gore and slow build of suspense, The Conjuring was a breath of fresh air. It arrived at a time when the horror genre was rampant with gruesome movies like Saw (which was also directed by Wan) and Hostel. The Conjuring kick-started not
