🤖 Google co-founder Larry Page has a new AI startup LINK
  • Larry Page is reportedly involved in a new AI startup named Dynatomics, aimed at revolutionizing manufacturing by using artificial intelligence to design products that streamline the production process.
  • Dynatomics employs AI, including large language models, to generate optimized designs for various objects, which are then manufactured, and is led by Chris Anderson, former CTO of Kittyhawk.
  • Several other companies, like Orbital Materials and PhysicsX, are also exploring AI in manufacturing to discover new materials and provide simulations, highlighting a growing industry trend.
💥 Microsoft plans a future without OpenAI LINK
  • Microsoft is aiming to reduce its reliance on OpenAI by developing its own AI models, driven by high operational costs and a desire for greater control over its technology.
  • Mustafa Suleyman, head of Microsoft's AI division, is leading this strategic shift, focusing on creating in-house AI capabilities that can compete with OpenAI's advanced models.
  • Despite efforts to replace OpenAI models in products like Copilot, Microsoft faces challenges due to technical dependencies and longstanding contractual agreements with OpenAI, which extend until 2030.
🚀 SpaceX’s Starship explodes again LINK
  • SpaceX's Starship experienced a malfunction and spiraled out of control during a test flight on Thursday, marking the second consecutive launch failure as the vehicle attempted to reach orbit.
  • The Federal Aviation Administration temporarily halted flights into major Florida airports due to concerns about potential "space launch debris," affecting flight paths as a precautionary measure.
  • During this mission, SpaceX aimed to deploy four dummy versions of its Starlink satellites, but the test ended unsuccessfully as Starship broke up over the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic.
🪙 Trump signs order to create US strategic crypto reserve LINK
  • President Donald Trump signed an executive order to establish a strategic bitcoin reserve, aiming to bolster the U.S. government's holdings of digital currencies.
  • The reserve will be funded with bitcoin obtained through criminal and civil forfeitures, with plans to include five cryptocurrencies: bitcoin, ether, XRP, solana, and cardano.
  • Concerns have been raised about the potential conflict of interest due to Trump's connections to the cryptocurrency industry and the implications for taxpayers.
🫠 Russian propaganda influences AI chatbot responses LINK
  • Russian propaganda is reportedly affecting the outputs of AI chatbots, such as ChatGPT and Meta AI, according to a recent study by NewsGuard.
  • NewsGuard has identified a Moscow-based network called "Pravda" that is allegedly spreading false information to influence AI model responses by publishing millions of misleading articles.
  • Analysis by NewsGuard revealed that 10 major chatbots repeated Russian disinformation narratives 33% of the time, attributed to Pravda's search engine optimization strategies enhancing content visibility.
