NVIDIA: No Reason To Panic

NVIDIA: No Reason To Panic

The recent sell-off in NVIDIA shows one thing above all, in my opinion: many of today's investors do not understand the companies they are investing in.

Jevons Paradox: DeepSeek-R1 Will Ultimately Drive Demand for NVIDIA's GPUs

Jevons Paradox: DeepSeek-R1 Will Ultimately Drive Demand for NVIDIA's GPUs

In 1865, William Jevons observed that coal consumption in England was growing exponentially despite increasingly efficient steam engines. Similarly, in the coming years, more efficient AI models like DeepSeek-R1 could drive demand for NVIDIA's GPUs, not reduce it.

DeepSeek-R1 Clearly Outperformed OpenAI's o1 pro mode In My Ant Sim Test

I tested DeepSeek-R1 against OpenAI's o1 pro mode by having both program an ant simulation from the same prompt. DeepSeek-R1 generated a far superior simulation. As AI models become increasingly commoditized, I think this shows again that AI is a hardware revolution, not a software revolution.

Hermès International: Why Artisan Craftsmanship Is A Bet On The Dawning Technological Revolution

At the dawn of the AI age, Hermès is still focusing on craftsmanship and scarcity, which could make its luxury products increasingly desirable and valuable, especially in an era of rapid automation and commoditization of goods.

Quantum Chips: Computing Like A Soap Bubble?

Quantum Chips: Computing Like A Soap Bubble?

Google Quantum AI has made a breakthrough with its Willow quantum chip, demonstrating exponential quantum error correction, suggesting real progress toward reliable quantum computing. However, comparing Willow's performance to conventional computers in the benchmark test used may be misleading.

AI Pioneer Yann LeCun Says AI Is "Dumber Than A Cat" - But Maybe That's Smart Enough

The AI researcher argues that AI is still far below human intelligence, lacking true understanding and creativity, and fooling us by making predictions based on statistical patterns from huge data sets. But isn't that enough for now?
