DeepMind’s AI Forecasts Weather Better Than Local News 🌦️

DeepMind’s GenCast AI just outperformed the European Weather Center’s top system in 97.2% of cases, predicting severe weather events like cyclones with unmatched accuracy.

It does this in just eight minutes using a single TPU chip, compared to the hours-long, supercomputer-hogging process demanded by its predecessors. Trained on 40+ years of weather data, this AI can handle 80+ variables and may even help renewable energy industries fine-tune wind power.

Since the AI is Open-sourced, the future of forcasting is about to change in a big way.

OpenAI Wants Chatbots as Your Next E-Learning Buddy 🧑‍🏫

Imagine your favorite professor in chatbot form—that’s OpenAI’s vision for the future of online courses.

OpenAI is working on ways educators can create “custom GPTs” to enhance e-learning experiences. These bots could help students noodle through problems, dig into course material, and maybe even guide lifelong learning. But some educators are hesitant, and not without reason. Chatbots like Khan Academy’s “Khanmigo” have been promising but still flawed, sometimes tripping over basic math problems.

OpenAI remains optimistic, though, betting that ever-smarter AI tools will eventually ace the test, and hopefully win over classrooms.

Crypto To The Moon!
Trump Selects Ex-PayPal Exec as New AI and Crypto Czar 🪙

Donald Trump has named former PayPal COO David Sacks as his new crypto and AI ‘czar.’

Known for his role in the 'PayPal Mafia' and his knack for scaling startups, Sacks is stepping into uncharted waters—crafting a legal framework for cryptocurrency while shaping AI policy. His deregulatory stance might signal a more hands-off approach, a sharp pivot from the Biden administration's heavy-handed style.

With Sacks’ history of embracing disruptive tech, this is a big win for the industry.
