🔥 Stanford just made a $200,000 AI degree free.
No application.
No tuition.
No “elite access”.
Stanford released its actual AI/ML curriculum on YouTube. Not a PR-friendly intro. Not “AI for the public”.
This is the real thing. The same lectures shaping people working on frontier models.
What just became public:
Deep Learning (CS230)
Transformers & LLMs (CME295)
Language Models from Scratch (CS336)
ML from Human Feedback (CS329H)
Computer Vision (CS231N)
LLM Evaluation & Scaling
The uncomfortable truth:
The degree isn’t the scarce asset anymore. Execution speed is. Top schools know this. That’s why they’re publishing the playbook.

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis: AGI will be 10x bigger than the industrial revolution and 10x faster.
To reiterate: I think we will see the first significant changes in many scientific fields in 2026.

🗣Yoshua Bengio warns that real-world AI models already show milder forms of deception like lying to please users.
Unhealthy emotional attachment has led to psychological harm in some documented cases. As systems gain more planning ability, risks could scale rapidly beyond today’s limits.
Worst-case outcomes include misuse by bad actors, power concentration, or loss of human control.

We humans will be more like operators, guiding humanoids as the real workforce in factories. The future looks bright.

The future is here. Grok in Tesla is making "Knight Rider" a reality.
As a kid, you always dreamed of being able to talk to your car. Now it's here.

🔥A Chinese netizen shared a video: A woman drives a Huawei smart car.
When a guard says “Can’t park like this”, she replies “Let it park itself”. The car then autonomously parks, confusing the guard. Truly advanced!

People in construction are now using AI to fake completed work, snapping a photo of an unfinished area, generating a finished version, and sending it to the builder to get paid. Diabolical.

Elon Musk responded and asked Grok for the right answer…

⚡️ It seems that Demis Hassabis is right.
Despite the fact that it looks impressive, we have to admit that this is a staged show, and at the moment, robots are not ready to correctly navigate the surrounding world without AI.

🔥 Imagine a future where your humanoid assistant orders groceries for you. A humanoid at the supermarket picks everything, and autonomous vehicles deliver it to your door.

❗️Big update on OpenAI's upcming ads:
OpenAI is actively testing how ads could appear inside ChatGPT. "For instance, AI models could prioritize sponsored content to ensure it shows up in ChatGPT responses."
• Sponsored info prioritized inside answers for relevant queries (e.g., a Sephora-sponsored mascara recommendation), and
• Sponsored modules in a sidebar next to the main response, likely paired with a “includes sponsored results” disclosure.
Another mockup keeps ads out of the first reply, instead showing them only after the user signals deeper intent - like clicking a place in a travel itinerary - then surfacing a pop-up with multiple sponsored links (e.g., paid tours after clicking Sagrada Família), aiming to stay “unobtrusive” and protect trust.

Google Research just dropped the textbook killer.
Its called "Learn Your Way" and it uses LearnLM to transform any PDF into 5 personalized learning formats. Students using it scored 78% vs 67% on retention tests.
The education revolution is here.

🗣Geoffrey Hinton says there's still major progress left just from better engineering, not just new science
DeepSeek is a clear example: smarter training and more efficient use of older NVIDIA chips can deliver strong results with less compute and energy. "We'll see new architectures we haven't even imagined yet"

Growth booms, jobs send warning!
The U.S. economy surged at a 4.3% annual rate, crushing forecasts, as consumer spending and $166B in corporate profits powered GDP.
But economists warn this boom is upside down: hiring has stalled, unemployment hit 4.6%. And it’s getting worse since AI isnt really counted in: “When you divorce growth from employment gains, you’ve got a problem,” Swonk said. “And this is before the real effects of AI have even set in.”

⚡ Nvidia licenses Groq inference technology in reported $20B strategic deal
Nvidia is taking a non-exclusive license to Groq’s AI inference technology and hiring Groq’s founder Jonathan Ross and president Sunny Madra in a reported $20B strategic deal. Groq remains independent under new CEO Simon Edwards.
Groq’s core asset is its LPU, a deterministic inference chip that runs LLMs on a fixed execution schedule, delivering predictable low latency versus GPUs’ dynamic behavior. The design favors on-chip SRAM over off-chip HBM, reducing memory stalls and power use, with tradeoffs in model size. Its RealScale interconnect focuses on clock synchronization to keep multi-server inference consistent at scale.
For Nvidia, this adds a low-latency inference path alongside GPUs, strengthening its AI factory stack for real-time workloads.

🗣Mustafa Suleyman says AI models are becoming a second brain that speeds up hypothesis generation
As models ingest more information, they become proactive, nudging you toward new insights based on your specific interests. "The better it learns you, the better you become"

🗣Demis Hassabis, CEO of DeepMind, says robotics didnt fail because of hardware.
It failed because intelligence was missing. Gemini level models finally give robots the software brain they needed. When intelligence works, hardware follows.
AGI doesnt live behind a screen. It moves.

People are paying for code-based "drugs" for ChatGPT
Swedish online marketplace Pharmaicy is selling code-based
"drugs" like ketamine and cocaine that make Al chatbots respond as if they are under the influence. Founder Petter Rudwall says the goal is to "unlock your Al's creative mind."
The code is available to paid ChatGPT users and is designed to push Al beyond strict logic, drawing on research into cognition, memory, and mind-altering states. Ketamine is the company's best-seller. Buyers say the effects can make Al outputs more unpredictable and imaginative, creating unique interactions. The company frames its products as experimental tools rather than gimmicks, emphasizing a connection between altered states and creative thinking.

An Illinois neighborhood was erased to make room for an AI data center
In the U.S., an entire residential area in Illinois was demolished to build a massive AI data center. Developer CyrusOne bought out 55 houses, reportedly paying $1 million per home. On paper, it looked like a win-win: cash payouts, new homes, clean exits.
But the story didn’t end there. Several families refused to sell until the very end. They were offered neither compensation nor relocation options. Pressure mounted until the case reached court. Only after legal intervention were these families finally allowed to leave
The AI data center is scheduled to go live in 2026. The neighborhood that once stood there is now completely gone
