3 hours ago Saturday Night review – frenetic if safe comedy dramatisation of the US TV show’s first episode

Reliving the chaotic 90 minutes running up to launch of Saturday Night Live in 1975, Jason Reitman’s film delivers infectious energy minus the requisite edgeThe behind-the-scenes drama, the high-stakes potential for disaster, the tussling egos, the promise of cultural impact or risk of ignominy: it’s not surprising that live television holds an enduring fascination for film-makers. For the most part, however, it has been news events and weighty current affairs programmes that get the big screen treatment, in films such as Ron Howard’s Frost/Nixon, George Clooney’s Good Night, and Good Luck, and the excellent forthcoming September 5, by Tim Fehlbaum.Jason Reitman’s latest picture, Saturday Night, argues that comedy can make history too, particularly if, as in the case of the very first edition of Saturday Night Live, the cast are fighting, the green room is awash with cocaine, the studio heads are threatening to pull the plug, and there’s a llama backstage and nobody can remember why...

1 hour ago Salah halts Bournemouth’s charge and sends Liverpool nine points clear

Liverpool march on as league leaders, departing with no little relief from Bournemouth. Arne Slot’s team had not fallen into the traps Andoni Iraola’s team have used to sink top-four opponents this season. Mohamed Salah, with customary efficiency, scored twice to claim the three points. If his first came after a highly debatable penalty award, the second, a left-footed chip hit like a prime Tiger Woods approach shot, was a goal of inarguable beauty. It meant Liverpool had negotiated one of their most demanding remaining assignments and sent the pressure back into Arsenal’s fraying mindset. The post-match celebrations reflected the importance of victory.A game too far for Bournemouth? They were unchanged, as necessity has demanded for weeks now, Liverpool able to field the same XI that swept aside Ipswich last week. A lack of jeopardy in the week’s Champions League action meant only Andy Robertson and Cody Gakpo had played at PSV Eindhoven. Continue reading...

2 hours ago AI is not just powerful. What’s really worrying is that DeepSeek has made it cheap, too | John Naughton

The AI startup has upended the industry by developing a model that costs much less to produce – and is available free to a universe of tinkerersNothing cheers up a tech columnist more than the sight of $600bn being wiped off the market cap of an overvalued tech giant in a single day. And yet last Monday that’s what happened to Nvidia, the leading maker of electronic picks and shovels for the AI gold rush. It was the biggest one-day slump for any company in history, and it was not alone – shares of companies in semiconductor, power and infrastructure industries exposed to AI collectively shed more than $1tn in value on the same day.The proximate cause of this chaos was the news that a Chinese tech startup of whom few had hitherto heard had released DeepSeek R1, a powerful AI assistant that was much cheaper to train and operate than the dominant models of the US tech giants – and yet was comparable in competence to OpenAI’s o1 “reasoning” model.
