379 AI synthetic audiences are already here and poised to upend the consulting industry

VentureBeat
VentureBeat 3 place · 04/26/2026 00:00 EDT

There is a war brewing between AI and consulting. Akin to an armies slow march towards the castle, a new technology is coming to dethrone the expert guessers of Mckinsey, Nielsen, Gartner, Publicis and the rest. Any consulting that involves analyzing people (think all of marketing, research, polling, etc.) will have to reckon with the technology of “synthetic audiences”.Synthetic audiences aim to generate digital versions of people that can then be surveyed almost instantly and affordably, but not as accura

Локальная Gemma 4 на MacBook читает графики и таблицы — и врёт красивее, чем говорит правду

MacBook M3, 16 ГБ, никакого облака. Поставил свежую Gemma 4, написал инструмент: кидаешь картинку с графиком или таблицей — получаешь CSV. Три кейса из семи — идеально. На остальных модель начала врать, причём аккуратнее, чем говорила правду: вместо рваных реальных чисел подсовывала гладкие выдуманные. Разобрал по шагам — сетап на маке, грабли с llama.cpp, сам инструмент — и собрал карту, где локальному зрению можно верить, а где оно тихо галлюцинирует... Read more

[Перевод] Разбор статьи: «Жизнь после Хайпа: Поиск устойчивости в развивающихся технологических экосистемах»

В конце мая вышло исследование «After the Hype: Resilience Seeking in Emerging Technology Ecosystems» (Journal of Product Innovation Management, 2026), которое изучает, что происходит с технологическими экосистемами после того, как угасает их хайп. Авторы разобрали это на примере XR (VR, AR, MR) и показали, как три типа игроков (поставщики технологии, разработчики дополнений и внедряющие компании) пытаются вернуть утраченный интерес и деньги. Уверен, будет интересно ознакомиться как продактам, так и топ-мен Read more

Абрикосов. Пособие по ведению бизнеса в Российской империи

Праздник. Гости входят в дом, и один из них вручает хозяйскому ребёнку яйцо в яркой обёртке. Тот радостно хватает подарок, бежит с ним в комнату и, снимая фантик, обнаруживает под ним шоколад. Но и это не главное, ведь внутри лакомства находится истинный предмет вожделения - игрушка. И если вы вдруг вспомнили своё детство и подумали, что сейчас рассказ будет про киндер-сюрпризы или ностальгию по 90-м, то нет. Дело в том,... Read more

На самом деле странная ситуация происходит в последнее время на рынке, я довольно не плохой программист и работал над архитектурой, и занимался управлением и так далее.

Без скорлупы и наседок: новая технология может вернуть на Землю дронтов и моа

Ученые уже давно ищут способы вернуть в природу животных, исчезнувших по вине человека. Самое интересное, что, помимо теоретических статей, в последнее время появились реальные практические проекты. Один из самых интересных — у компании Colossal Biosciences. Ее основатели вкладывают миллиарды долларов в генетику и биотехнологии, чтобы однажды по лесам Новой Зеландии снова начали бродить гигантские моа, а на островах Индийского океана возродились дронты.До этого еще далеко, но прогресс постепенно приближает.

PLC AI Studio: как я дал ИИ реальное ТЗ на ПЛК. Вот что пошло не так — и что я построил вместо этого

Однажды мне потребовалось написать программу на Structured Text для системы автоматизации. И, как любой инженер, который слышит про искусственный интеллект, я в какой-то момент спросил себя: а мог бы ИИ написать код вместо меня? Попробовал с ChatGPT. Дал ему задание: центральный кондиционер, IOLIST на 40 точек, простое ТЗ на три страницы. Получил код. Красивый. Даже синтаксически правильный. И абсолютно бесполезный.ИИ выдумал уставки из головы — вместо температуры притока 18°C из... Read more

In 2024, researchers from the University of Illinois found that GPT-4, when provided with a common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) description, could autonomously exploit 87% of a curated 15-vulnerability one-day dataset. Without the description, it could only exploit 7%. This provided a “margin of safety” for the industry because while AI could exploit known vulnerabilities, it could not discover them. However, on April 7, Anthropic announced that Claude Mythos Preview... Read more

As enterprises move from single-layer RAG to hybrid retrieval architectures, the same underlying data produces different answers depending on which agent, tool or system asks the question.
