That's about double the ad load from when the company introduced ads in January 2024, according to a report from ADWEEK. According to the report, which is based on information from six ad buyers and documents, Amazon notified investors of the increase in ads but has not made a public announcement of the change.

Every image you've ever seen of the sun is looking at its equator, because Earth's orbit sits there with a 7.25-degree tilt. That means humans have never had a good angle to view the sun's north and south poles until now. The ESA has released images of the sun's north and south poles, giving everyone their first glimpse at the top and bottom of our nearest star. The imagery was taken by the ESA's Solar Orbiter, which began its trek to view the sun's polar regions in 2020. To do this, the Orbite

AI flunks logic test: Multiple studies reveal illusion of reasoning

techspot.com Cal Jeffrey 2025-09-26 22:17:00

Bottom line: More and more AI companies say their models can reason. Two recent studies say otherwise. When asked to show their logic, most models flub the task – proving they're not reasoning so much as rehashing patterns. The result: confident answers, but not intelligent ones. Apple researchers have uncovered a key weakness in today's most hyped AI systems – they falter at solving puzzles that require step-by-step reasoning. In a new paper, the team tested several leading models on the Tower
