    More Musk Madness, Deep Seek and AI in Journalism – with James Ball

    With the arrival of Deep Seek, journalist and author James Ball returns to the show to look at the reality of the Chinese-made model and discuss how AI can impact journalism. It's clear there are opportunities to use these tools to do better work, but it's unlikely media proprietors will see their development as anything other than a way to cut costs. We also discuss the latest bits of Elon Musk madness and evaluate how the media is covering it. (Spoiler: mostly not very well.) * Musk Says DOGE Halting Treasury Payments to US Contractors – Bloomberg News * The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk’s Government Takeover – Wired * Was this the week DeepSeek started the slow unwinding of the AI bet? – Guardian * DeepSeek gives Europe's tech firms a chance to catch up in global AI race – Reuters * James Ball on Twitter * James Ball on Bluesky * James Ball at The New European * Charlotte Henry on Bluesky * Charlotte Henry on Threads * Charlotte Henry on Instagram * Charlotte Henry TikTok * The Addition on YouTube
