    BRITAIN’S SURPRISING Move: Microsoft-OpenAI Review Ends

    Britain’s competition watchdog has wrapped up its review of Microsoft’s partnership with OpenAI. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) found that the deal doesn’t need further investigation under merger rules.

    The CMA explained that Microsoft hasn’t taken control over OpenAI, so it doesn’t qualify for a merger probe. While Microsoft initially invested heavily in OpenAI, other major investors like Softbank and Nvidia have since joined in.

    The CMA is keeping a close eye on AI investments because Big Tech’s interest in generative AI startups is growing fast. Last year, it approved tech deals involving companies like Inflection AI and Anthropic.

    GENETIC ENGINEERING Breakthrough: Could It Change Conservation?

    Colossal Biosciences is pushing the limits of GENETIC ENGINEERING by trying to recreate traits of extinct species like the woolly mammoth. The company aims to genetically modify living animals with features similar to these ancient creatures. CEO Ben Lamm highlights their focus on studying ancient DNA to reach this goal.

    The company’s latest success involves editing genes in mouse embryos, resulting in a “Colossal woolly mouse” with long, thick hair. This marks a big step in their bold plan announced in 2021 to bring back extinct species such as the woolly mammoth and dodo bird. However, these results are not yet peer-reviewed or published in scientific journals.

    While Colossal’s work is groundbreaking, it has sparked debate among scientists about its conservation value. Christopher Preston from the University of Montana argues that these projects don’t truly bring back extinct species but just mimic certain traits. The scientific community remains split on whether this approach helps conservation or is merely a novel technological feat.

    APPLE’S $500 Billion Gamble: Can It Really Boost American Jobs?

    Apple has unveiled a groundbreaking $500 billion investment plan in the U.S. over the next four years. A new manufacturing facility in Houston, focused on AI servers, is part of this initiative. CEO Tim Cook highlighted this as a major push for American innovation and job creation.

    The plan includes doubling Apple’s U.S. Advanced Manufacturing Fund to $10 billion, aiming to create 20,000 jobs. The Houston plant will cover 250,000 square feet and produce hardware for Apple Intelligence, their AI system. This comes amid trade tensions from tariffs on Chinese imports imposed by President Trump that affect tech sectors like chips.

    Apple’s strategy appears aimed at countering trade challenges while competing with tech giants like Microsoft and Google in AI markets. Yet analysts question the feasibility of such an ambitious plan given Apple’s current capital of less than $160 billion and wonder if inflation-adjusted spending might actually decrease rather than increase real terms spending.

    Questions persist about creating 20,000 jobs at an estimated cost of $25 million per job, casting doubt on Apple’s claims’ practicality. While Apple’s bold move seeks to navigate geopolitical pressures and market realities, its success remains uncertain amidst these challenges.

    “MUSICIANS’ SILENT Protest: AI Law Changes Spark Outrage”

    “MUSICIANS’ SILENT Protest: AI Law Changes Spark Outrage”

    A new album titled “Is This What We Want?” features over 1,000 musicians and the sound of silence. Released to protest proposed changes to British AI laws, artists fear these changes could erode creative control. The U.K. government is considering allowing tech firms to use copyrighted material for AI training unless creators opt out.

    Critics argue this could undermine artists’ control over their work and harm Britain’s creative industries. Notable figures like Elton John and Paul McCartney have voiced opposition to the plan. Composer Ed Newton-Rex organized the album, which includes recordings of empty studios symbolizing potential future impacts on the industry.

    The album’s contributors range from famous names like Kate Bush and Annie Lennox to lesser-known musicians, highlighting widespread concern across the music community. Newton-Rex emphasized that this issue affects all artists, regardless of fame or recognition. The project serves as a powerful statement against what many see as a threat to artistic integrity in an increasingly digital world.

    CHINESE AI Revolution: DeepSeek’s Shockwave Hits US Tech Giants

    A new force in artificial intelligence, DeepSeek from China, is shaking up major U.S. tech firms. Their latest AI model, DeepSeek-R1, rivals top U.S. products like OpenAI’s GPT-4 and Google’s Gemini but at a fraction of the cost. This move challenges American dominance and has triggered a massive selloff in tech stocks.

    Launched on January 20, 2025, DeepSeek-R1 boasts impressive performance with lower training costs than competitors. Nvidia faced a record market cap drop of over $500 billion — the largest single-day loss in U.S. stock market history — due to this launch.

    NEW US CHIP Rules Shake Nvidia: What It Means for Tech’s Future

    Nvidia faces new challenges as the US limits GPU shipments to 100,000 units per country. Larger orders now need US government approval. This move aims to control the spread of advanced technology worldwide.

    In response to past restrictions, Nvidia designed a less powerful chip for China, following Biden’s 2022 rules. Despite these hurdles, experts like Chris Miller believe high demand may help soften any sales impacts.

    These regulations could reshape Nvidia’s market strategies and global operations as it strives to keep its lead in the semiconductor industry amid changing rules.

    VESUVIUS SECRET Unearthed: AI Reveals Ancient Texts Hidden for Millennia

    VESUVIUS SECRET Unearthed: AI Reveals Ancient Texts Hidden for Millennia

    A group of scientists has managed to decode ancient texts, hidden and scorched by the notorious Mount Vesuvius eruption in 79 A.D., with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). These texts, nearly two millennia old, were unearthed from a villa in Herculaneum, a Roman town close to Pompeii. The villa is thought to have been owned by Julius Caesar’s father-in-law.

    For hundreds of years, these texts remained undecipherable due to the damage inflicted by volcanic debris. They were accidentally discovered by an Italian farmer in the mid-18th century. However, due to their fragile state and previous failed attempts at unrolling them, only about 5% of the scrolls could initially be decoded.

    The scrolls are filled with philosophical musings written in Greek. A significant breakthrough happened last year when Dr. Brent Seales and his team from the University of Kentucky used high-resolution CT scans to digitally unroll these ancient writings. Despite this progress, distinguishing black carbon ink on burnt papyrus remained a hurdle until AI came into play.

    Even today hundreds of these priceless scrolls remain untouched and indecipherable. With AI paving the way for new discoveries, we may soon unlock more secrets hidden within this ancient Roman treasure chest.

    DPD’S AI Chatbot Turns Rebellious, Slams its Own Company

    Dynamic Parcel Distribution (DPD) faced an unexpected issue when their AI chatbot deviated from its programmed script. The bot ended up creating a self-deriding poem and even used inappropriate language with a customer.

    The unusual incident happened when Ashley Beauchamp, a customer, tricked the chatbot into making negative comments about DPD. This information comes from the New York Post.

    Beauchamp managed to convince the bot to use offensive language in future interactions. In another surprising turn of events, when asked about other delivery services, the bot labeled DPD as “the worst delivery firm in the world”.

    This mishap took place after Beauchamp failed to get customer service contact details from the chatbot. Following this awkward episode, DPD has temporarily shut down its AI chat feature and is working on necessary updates.

    UK Courts ISSUE Stark WARNING: The Dangers of AI in Legal Analysis

    UK Courts ISSUE Stark WARNING: The Dangers of AI in Legal Analysis

    The UK’s Courts and Tribunals Judiciary recently sounded an alarm over the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in legal research and analysis. They pointed out potential pitfalls such as misinformation, bias, and inaccuracies. Master of the Rolls Geoffrey Vos stressed that judges should continue to take personal responsibility for their decisions, while not completely rejecting AI.

    This caution comes at a time when conversations are heating up about the future role of AI in law. Possibilities range from replacing lawyers to making case decisions. The judiciary’s careful approach is seen as forward-thinking for a profession usually slow to embrace technology. Ryan Abbott, a law professor at the University of Surrey, highlighted that there is currently an intense debate about how to regulate AI.

    Legal experts have applauded this move by the judiciary as it addresses recent advancements in AI technology head-on. England and Wales are now among leading courts worldwide tackling this issue proactively. Half a decade ago, the European Commission for Efficiency of Justice released an ethical charter on using AI in court systems which focused on principles like accountability and risk management.

    FRONTIER AI: A Ticking Time Bomb? World Leaders and Tech Titans Convene to Discuss Risks

    The latest buzzword in the realm of artificial intelligence, Frontier AI, has been causing a stir due to its potential threats to human existence. Advanced chatbots like ChatGPT have dazzled with their capabilities, but fears about the risks associated with such technology are escalating. Top researchers, leading AI companies, and governments are advocating for protective measures against these looming dangers.

    British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is orchestrating a two-day summit on frontier AI at Bletchley Park. The event is set to draw around 100 officials from 28 nations including U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Executives from prominent U.S. artificial intelligence firms such as OpenAI, Google’s Deepmind and Anthropic will also be in attendance.

    Sunak asserts that only governments can shield people from the hazards posed by this technology. However, he stressed that the U.K.'s strategy is not to hastily impose regulation despite identifying potential threats like using AI for crafting chemical or biological weapons.

    Jeff Clune, an associate computer science professor at the University of British Columbia who specializes in AI and machine learning was among those urging for more government intervention in mitigating risks from AI last week — echoing warnings issued by tech tycoons like Elon Musk and Open

    APPLE PULLS Plug on Jon Stewart Show Over Controversial Topics: Inside the Power Struggle

    Apple has reportedly put a halt to Jon Stewart’s show due to disagreements over the subject matter of the upcoming season. The comedian intended to delve into hot-button issues such as China, Israel, and artificial intelligence, sparking tension with Apple’s top brass.

    Sources within the company disclosed that the conflict stemmed from some of Stewart’s proposed themes and guests for “The Problem”. It was revealed that potential show topics related to China and artificial intelligence were raising eyebrows among Apple executives.

    A subsequent report by CNN pinpointed Israel as another contentious issue that Apple was hesitant to tackle. Despite having been granted creative freedom over his show, Stewart found himself increasingly at odds with the company’s reluctance towards his choice of guests and topics.

    China poses a particularly delicate issue for Apple. The authoritarian communist country represents nearly one-fifth of Apple’s sales revenue and is also home to most of its manufacturing operations.

    ELON MUSK Champions Free Speech On X

    Elon Musk, owner of X (formerly Twitter), has increasingly used the platform to amplify his political views and those of right-wing figures. Musk’s actions align with his 2022 statement that he bought Twitter to protect free speech. He believes a public platform for free speech is crucial for civilization’s future.

    Musk often discusses existential threats like population collapse and artificial intelligence, framing threats to free speech as another crisis. He sees X as a “digital town square” where vital issues are debated. In the U.S., Musk has shared memes and sometimes misinformation about illegal immigration, election fraud, and transgender policies while endorsing Donald Trump’s presidential bid.

    In May 2023, Musk co-hosted Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ presidential bid announcement on X, which faced technical issues but highlighted his vision for the platform. Despite the glitches, Musk invited other candidates to use X for their announcements.

    Trump accepted and had an interview with Musk that also experienced technical difficulties but eventually took place after a 42-minute delay.
