🤔 Microsoft Study: AI May Harm Critical Thinking A study by Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon found that heavy reliance on generative AI can reduce critical thinking among workers. Surveying 319 workers and analyzing 936 AI use cases, researchers observed that many accept AI outputs without proper evaluation, mistaking minor edits for critical thought. Key insights: ➡️ High trust in AI lowers critical thinking effort. ➡️ Strong self-confidence improves critical thinking and evaluation of AI outputs. The findings highlight the need to balance AI use with independent problem-solving skills. Read More

🐳 "ChatGPT just lost its job to AI." How Did Chinese DeepSeek Blow Up the AI Industry? Who created the free ChatGPT competitor, is DeepSeek's arrival changing the AI race, and what's next? Let's get into the main topic of the week. ➡️ DeepSeek was founded by entrepreneur Liang Wenfeng in May 2023. A few years before, Wenfeng co-founded High-Flyer, a hedge fund that uses AI for stock trading. ➡️ The company's first AI models were better and cheaper than the other Chinese ones. At the end of 2024, DeepSeek entered the international competition with the V3 model, which showed results at the level of GPT-4o and Claude-3.5 Sonnet. We covered the V3 in detail here. ➡️ Soon, on January 20, the reasoning DeepSeek-R1 was released. It is as good as OpenAI o1 in most benchmarks and superior in some. Also, R1's API access is much cheaper. ➡️ By January 27, the DeepSeek app became the most popular app on iOS and Android in the U.S., displacing ChatGPT. Big Tech's stocks dropped down. ➡️ Nvidia suffered the most. Its shares fell by about 17%, its capitalization — by almost $600 billion. This was the largest collapse in a day for a single company. 💲 How Much Did the DeepSeek Models Cost? We don't know. The training of V3, which the R1 is based on, cost $5.6 million. This figure does not account for the expenses related to pre-launch activities or the compute cluster comprising 2,048 Nvidia H800 GPUs. 🔐 Security. Conspiracies. Censorship. Wiz discovered that DeepSeek's database, including some chat logs, was in the public domain. The backdoor was promptly covered up. Elon Musk and Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang suspect that DeepSeek has more GPUs, but the company is hiding the real numbers because of U.S. export restrictions. Microsoft is investigating information about DeepSeek may have abused the use of the OpenAI API in training its model. However, there is no evidence of any of this yet. DeepSeek stores data in China, which has alarmed ordinary users and the U.S. authorities. The service is prone to censorship: DeepSeek's models often don't answer questions about China's domestic politics. On the other hand, DeepSeek is an open model: anyone can deploy it locally and without restrictions. For example, Perplexity AI-powered web search had integrated R1: without censorship or sending prompts to China.

📌 You can use DeepSeek-R1 with Perplexity search in our bot! 1️⃣ Go to @GPT4AgentsBot and type the command /deepseek 2️⃣ Click 🔘 Activate button 50 uses per day is included in the "Premium Max" plan.

🔜 What's Next? OpenAI released the new o3-mini model. "It's fast, cheap, smart, and designed to crush DeepSeek," —Wired writes about o3-mini. The real question now isn't whether Chinese startups can create a competitor to the o3-mini or a major version of the o3, but rather how quickly they will do it. So, whose AI is the best today? ❤️ — ChatGPT 🐳 — DeepSeek 🔥 — Other: Gemini, Claude…

Interstellar Travel with Electron Beams Scientists are studying a groundbreaking way to reach other stars using extremely fast-moving beams of electrons. By taking advantage of powerful particle accelerators and a phenomenon called the “relativistic pinch effect,” they hope to propel spacecraft to speeds close to the speed of light. This could make missions to places like Alpha Centauri possible in around 40 years. However, researchers still face big hurdles—such as how to convert energy effectively, maintain beam stability, and build the necessary infrastructure in space—before this bold vision becomes a reality.
