LOS ANGELES (AP) — The U.S. Open wrapped up, as it always does, on Father’s Day. Golf’s newest champion would be the first to tell people he’s always been a mama’s boy.Wyndham Clark’s victory Sunday will be remembered for how a 29-year-old newcomer to the big time held off some of the biggest names in the game to stamp a poignant exclamation mark on a U.S. Open that had been, to that point, kind of hard to love. Colorado’s Wyndham Clark plays big and becomes a major champion at the US Open Clark's mother, Lise, died of breast cancer in 2013 — a family tragedy that sent him spiraling. The win brought with it a chance to share memories, and a chance to reflect on the long road between then and now.“I didn’t show any emotion off the course, but when I was on the golf course I couldn’t have been angrier,” Clark said of his state of mind when he first learned of his mom's diagnosis. “I was breaking clubs when I didn’t even hit that bad of a shot. I was walking off golf courses.”The roa...

(CNN) — Amazon is experimenting with using artificial intelligence to sum up customer feedback about products on the site, with the potential tocut down on the time shoppers spend sifting through reviews before making a purchase.On the Amazon product page for Apple’s third-generation AirPods, for example, the AI feature now sums up the more than 4,000 user ratings to note that the wireless headphones “have received positive feedback from customers regarding their sound quality and battery life.” But, it adds, “mixed opinions were also expressed about the performance, durability, fit, comfort, and value of the headphones.”The summary features the disclaimer: “AI-generated from the text of customer reviews.”“We are significantly investing in generative AI across all of our businesses,” Amazon said in a statement to CNN on Monday, referring to the technology that underpins services such as ChatGPT.The effort, first reported by CNBC, marks Amazon’s latest attempt to incorporate generati...

BERLIN — Germany should become a leading semiconductor producer, Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Monday, while also stressing the need to reduce dependencies on China and urging Beijing to refrain from aggression against its neighbors.Scholz’s remarks came shortly before the chancellor reached a deal Monday on a more than €30 billion investment by U.S. chipmaker Intel in Magdeburg, following a meeting with Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger.Speaking earlier at the German Industry Day conference in Berlin, Scholz lauded efforts to boost the EU’s share in global semiconductor production and said that “every third chip produced in Europe comes from Saxony,” a state in eastern Germany, while adding that big chip producers are planning further investments in Germany.“If these are implemented in this way — and we are working on this — then Germany will become one of the world’s major semiconductor production locations,” Scholz said, adding that this would also h...

Blinken meets with Xi amid mounting US-China tensions

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:16:25 GMT

Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday, rounding out a high-stakes trip to Beijing that the U.S. hopes will help ease the mounting tensions between the two countries.Xi’s willingness to meet with Blinken is a signal from the top of the ruling Chinese Communist Party that Beijing wants to move past the acrimony that has curdled U.S.-China ties since the Chinese spy balloon episode in February. Xi’s conversation with Blinken — on the heels of the secretary’s meeting with Foreign Minister Qin Gang on Sunday, which affirmed both a follow-up discussion in Washington later this year and a need to bolster U.S.-China people-to-people exchanges — reflects Beijing’s desire to resume high-level official contacts despite festering disagreements over issues including Taiwan’s status and China’s role in America’s opioid overdose epidemic.In a statement delivered ahead of the meeting, Xi hailed the “candid discussions” Blinken had with Chinese o...
