DeepSeek’s Arrival Is The Start Of Physical AI
The implications of the DeepSeek release are massive, but one of the biggest is what this could mean for robotics. This may be the AI silver bullet.

PCWorld gets it right - calls out Roku and CEO @rokuone for ham-handed hijack of users viewing experience with obstructive advertising.
Roku’s home screen ad experiment crosses the line
Streaming-device ads should never get in your way. Roku has lost sight of that.

Roku players recently started playing a trailer for Moana 2 instead of loading the home screen they were turned on. While Roku says the ad is just a test, and that users could manually dismiss the ad instead of watching the whole thing,
