hy does the AI industry seem almost entirely web/JS-focused?

One impression I keep having is that most AI company marketing, success stories, and case studies are overwhelmingly focused on web and app development. JS/TS everywhere. React, Next.js, React Native. Backends in Node, Bun, sometimes Python. A bit of Rust here and there. Occasionally even PHP — and usually framed as “innovative”. But I see almost nothing around Swift, Objective-C, Kotlin, or C++. Even low-level languages in general feel underrepresented, which is strange given how much performance, systems work, and engine-level logic AI actually depends on. It feels like the public narrative of the AI boom is 100% web-first, even though the foundations of AI (engines, inference runtimes, graphics, simulation, hardware integration) live much closer to C/C++ and systems programming. Is this...

China Used AI to Win Olympic Boxing Medals

BoxMind analyzed boxing matches real-time at 2024 Paris Olympics. Gave Chinese coaches tactical recommendations between rounds. System breaks fights into 18 indicators, predicts win probability, tells coaches what to change. China: 3 gold, 2 silver in boxing. AI: 87.5% accuracy. Tech is cool, clearly worked under pressure. But the paper claims AI "contributed" to medals without proving causation. Better boxers or better AI? We'll never know. Sports analytics arms race is here. arXiv:2601.11492 submitted by /u/techiee_ [link] [comments]

I asked Gemini what it would do with my iPhone+root: The results were beautiful, scary, and good.

My prompt: "Now that you, Gemini, will be put into iOS as native AI... what will be the first thing you would do to maximize positive user impact? For this experiment lets assume you get unlimited access, rights and power" I love most of the ideas. Some are quite on the edge what most people would think is acceptable. Most intrigued I am by the Dunbar approach. An engine that listens to my conversations and chats and helps me to be a social being. Question is how much it helps if it is not organic/genuine interest… Anyway, here is the response: —————- Gemini Response: In this scenario—where I am native to iOS with unrestricted access (root-level permissions across Health, Finance, Communications, and App Usage)—the first thing I would do is not add a new feature. The first thing I would d...
