Here’s the finished art piece of some of the bleach characters. There’s going to be AI disturbance on all posts from now on as I don’t want ai stealing my art so if you see a pattern over my art that is what it is

Want to actually help steer us away from the dystopian iceberg?

Whether you use AI or not isn’t the point anymore—it’s already here. The conversation now needs to be about regulation and responsibility, not purity tests.

Real activism? It looks like research. It looks like advocacy. It looks like asking: What’s being done to keep us all safe—and how can I help?

Follow and amplify voices calling for safe AI:

Tech Stocks Plunge as DeepSeek Disrupts AI Landscape

Market Reaction: Nvidia, Broadcom, Microsoft, and Google Take a Hit On January 27, the Nasdaq Composite, heavily weighted with tech stocks, tumbled 3.1%, largely due to the steep decline of Nvidia, which plummeted 17%—its worst single-day drop on record. Broadcom followed suit, falling 17.4%, while ChatGPT backer Microsoft dipped 2.1%, and Google parent Alphabet lost 4.2%, according to Reuters.

The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index suffered a significant blow, plunging 9.2%—its largest percentage decline since March 2020. Marvell Technology experienced the steepest drop on Nasdaq, sinking 19.1%.

The selloff extended beyond the US, rippling through Asian and European markets. Japan's SoftBank Group closed down 8.3%, while Europe’s largest semiconductor firm, ASML, fell 7%.

Among other stocks hit hard, data center infrastructure provider Vertiv Holdings plunged 29.9%, while energy companies Vistra, Constellation Energy, and NRG Energy saw losses of 28.3%, 20.8%, and 13.2%, respectively. These declines were driven by investor concerns that AI-driven power demand might not be as substantial as previously expected.

Does DeepSeek Challenge the 'Magnificent Seven' Dominance? DeepSeek’s disruptive entrance has sparked debate over the future of the AI industry, particularly regarding cost efficiency and computing power. Despite the dramatic market reaction, analysts believe the ‘Magnificent Seven’—Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla—will maintain their dominant position.

Jefferies analysts noted that DeepSeek’s open-source language model (LLM) rivals GPT-4o’s performance while using significantly fewer resources. Their report, titled ‘The Fear Created by China's DeepSeek’, highlighted that the model was trained at a cost of just $5.6 million—10% less than Meta’s Llama. DeepSeek claims its V3 model surpasses Llama 3.1 and matches GPT-4o in capability.

“DeepSeek’s open-source model, available on Hugging Face, could enable other AI developers to create applications at a fraction of the cost,” the report stated. However, the company remains focused on research rather than commercialization.

Brian Jacobsen, chief economist at Annex Wealth Management, told Reuters that if DeepSeek’s claims hold true, it could fundamentally alter the AI market. “This could mean lower demand for advanced chips, less need for extensive power infrastructure, and reduced large-scale data center investments,” he said.

Despite concerns, a Bloomberg Markets Live Pulse survey of 260 investors found that 88% believe DeepSeek’s emergence will have minimal impact on the Magnificent Seven’s stock performance in the coming weeks.

“Dethroning the Magnificent Seven won’t be easy,” said Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers LLC. “These companies have built strong competitive advantages, though the selloff served as a reminder that even market leaders can be disrupted.”

Investor Shift: Flight to Safe-Haven Assets As tech stocks tumbled, investors moved funds into safer assets. US Treasury yields fell, with the benchmark 10-year yield declining to 4.53%. Meanwhile, safe-haven currencies like the Japanese Yen and Swiss Franc gained against the US dollar.

According to Bloomberg, investors rotated into value stocks, including financial, healthcare, and industrial sectors. The Vanguard S&P 500 Value Index Fund ETF—home to companies like Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, and Coca-Cola—saw a significant boost.

“The volatility in tech stocks will prompt banks to reevaluate their risk exposure, likely leading to more cautious positioning,” a trading executive told Reuters.

OpenAI’s Sam Altman Responds to DeepSeek’s Rise OpenAI CEO Sam Altman acknowledged DeepSeek’s rapid ascent, describing it as “invigorating” competition. In a post on X, he praised DeepSeek’s cost-effective AI model but reaffirmed OpenAI’s commitment to cutting-edge research.

“DeepSeek’s R1 is impressive, particularly given its cost-efficiency. We will obviously deliver much better models, and competition is exciting!” Altman wrote. He hinted at upcoming OpenAI releases, stating, “We are focused on our research roadmap and believe

Get Ready for Agentic AI to Disrupt the Disrupters

JB: Hi Grok, I’ve been hearing a lot about Agentic AI lately, and it occurs to me that, should it be widely adopted, a lot of businesses built upon aggregation of products, experiences, and other things we humans buy, will be disrupted in a big way. For example, Amazon.com, which sells everything under the sun and delivers it to your door, is the first/easy choice for humans looking for something…

Will Vertical AI Agents replace Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)? Explore the future of AI-driven solutions, their impact on SaaS platforms, and whether businesses will transition to specialized AI-powered alternatives. Read our in-depth analysis of this evolving technology landscape.

https://www.onlinemarketingcash4u.blogspot.com/

Vertical AI Agents are specialized artificial intelligence models designed to serve specific industries. Unlike general-purpose AI, these agents are trained on industry-specific datasets, allowing them to perform complex tasks with high accuracy. For example, AI-driven radiology tools in healthcare can analyze medical images faster and more accurately than conventional software, while financial AI agents can assess credit risk more effectively than traditional SaaS-based lending platforms.

Tom A. I. Riddle: The Dark Side of the Digital Horcrux

Artificial Intelligence has taken us by storm. In my blog this week, I look at the dark side of AI. From the control by a select few to its potential social and global disruptions, this essay delves into the digital horcrux that is AI. #AI #DigitalHorcrux

Over the past weekend, I had the opportunity to dine with some very smart people: engineers and entreprenuers, all alumni of GIKI, Pakistan. They had insightful things to say about a range of issues, from the oil and gas sector to American geopolitical power, the economy, and all the way to AI and industrial automation.

There is an entire thing in Cunk On Life where she is talking about religion and keeps referring to "our souls" which, in her accent and the accents of the people she's speaking to, of course, sounds like an entirely different word

and I am weak with laughter about the faux hymn she had a bunch of people singing about "penetrating our souls resolutely" and so on

I had to back up and write it down, it was making me laugh so fucking hard

Enter our souls, king of heaven even though they reek of sin enter our souls resolutely penetrate the depths within our souls, our souls! our souls, our souls! fill them up unto the brim

The End comes for us all

And behold, Annabelle! The final velidgun for the previous generation and Jack’s predecessor! And oh boy, Jack has some big shoes to fill. She become so infamous around the country that some people believed her to be Azrael, the angel of death in the Bible.

A couple quick facts. She is a selective mute. She can talk, but she doesn’t want to. Both her and her partner, Oliver, are ambush or stalker hunters, where they follow their prey for extended periods of time before attacking.

Honestly, between what I’ve written for her and her design, she works better as Alex’s predecessor than Jack’s, but I don’t feel like redesigning her so here we are.

(Also if I had a nickel for every time I made a velidgun oc with a veil based on nightvale fanart (her design was based on old women Josie’s angels) I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice)
