Can AI really simulate human thinking? Research casts doubt on an influential study, suggesting an advanced model was just really good at memorizing patterns.

Ace system design interviews with 10 GitHub repositories packed with fundamentals, proven patterns, and real questions to help you design scalable systems with confidence.

A new study of the postwar U.S. shows which kinds of workers historically filled new tech-enabled jobs.

What if the model you've been evaluating has been evaluating you right back? New research finds that LLMs systematically alter their output depending on whether, and by whom, they believe they are being observed. It might have serious implications - are you ready?

This outperformance could be tied to broader market dynami

Richard Socher's new $650 million startup wants to build an AI that can research and improve itself indefinitely — and he insists it will actually ship products.

Industry body says energy consumption driven by AI up 15% globally in two years as it warns of societal backlash Datacentres are consuming 6% of electricity in the UK and US, with the growing strain of AI on energy supplies prompting community resistance, according to research. The proportion of electricity used by vast warehouses stacked with microchips to power AI and the internet has risen 15% worldwide in the past two years as annual global investment in datacentres approaches $1tn (£740bn) – nearly 1% of the global economy, according to the International Data Center Association (IDCA).
