KI: US-Handelskrieg kostet Nvidia viele Milliarden US-Dollar

Auch schwächere Rechengrafikkarten von Nvidia dürfen nicht mehr nach China. Das halte dort niemanden von eigener KI-Entwicklung ab, sagte Nvidia-Chef Jensen Huang. (Nvidia, KI)

Zero-click searches: Google’s AI tools are the culmination of its hubris

Google’s first year with AI search was a wild ride. It will get wilder.

Google is constantly making changes to its search rankings, but not all updates are equal. Every few months, the company bundles up changes into a larger "core update." These updates make rapid and profound changes to search, so website operators watch them closely.

The March 2024 update was unique. It was one of Google's largest core updates ever, and it took over a month to fully roll out. Nothing has felt quite the same since. Whether the update was good or bad depends on who you ask—and maybe who you are.

It's common for websites to see traffic changes after a core update, but the impact of the March 2024 update marked a seismic shift. Google says the update aimed to address spam and AI-generated content in a meaningful way.

Tuesday Telescope: Finally, some answers on those Martian streaks

Alas, these probably are not reservoirs of life.

One of the longest-standing mysteries about Mars has been the presence of dark and light streaks on the rolling hills surrounding Olympus Mons. This week's image, from the European Space Agency, shows some of these streaks captured last October.

This massive mountain rises about 22 km above the surface of Mars, more than twice as high as Mount Everest on Earth. It is bordered by hummocky deposits, called aureoles, that were formed by landslides from the mountain. A striking feature of these aureoles is the periodic appearance of bright and dark streaks—sometimes for days and sometimes for years.

For decades, scientists have wondered what they might be.
