AI investment USA: $100 billion, or more?

Modern madness that would make even Don Quixote look like a pragmatic accountant. We're talking about the newest global obsession: Artificial Intelligence, or as I like to call it, "The Technology That Promises to Make Humans Completely Irrelevant...  But Hey, At Least We'll Have Great Wi-Fi!" The $100 Billion Laugh: A Take on AI Investments Where billionaires are throwing money at computer algorithms faster than teenagers throw tantrums. We've entered an era where investing $100 billion in AI is considered a rational business strategy, not a plot for a science fiction comedy.  Masayoshi Son from SoftBank - a man who probably dreams in binary code - is essentially saying, "Let's bet the farm, the house, and possibly the entire neighborhood on machines that might one day decide humans are about as useful as a floppy disk." Picture this: Brilliant tech executives in their sleek offices, sipping artisanal coffee, passionately declaring that artificial...

Robots, churros and supercomputers!

Did you know that Europe is about to become the new Silicon Valley, but without so much traffic and with more paellas? It turns out that the European Union, in its infinite wisdom (and desire not to be left behind in the technological race), has decided to invest a fortune in creating things called "AI factories." Spain promotes one of the first proposals to create AI factories funded by the EU Imagine a factory, but instead of producing cars or shoes, it produces artificial intelligence! And what is that? Well, it's like having a giant brain in a computer, capable of learning and doing incredible things, like writing poems, composing music or even diagnosing diseases. Why so much excitement about thinking robots? Because artificial intelligence is the new electricity. Everyone wants a piece of it, and Europe doesn't want to be left behind. So they've decided to pit a bunch of countries against each other to see who can build the best AI factories. Spain, alwa...

AI Election Fever: When Bots Become Boss

Perplexity! Yeah, it's a real name for a real AI. It's like naming your kid "Algorithm" or "Neural Network." But hey, if it can raise $500 million, who are we to judge? AI Election Fever: When Bots Become Boss So, let's talk about this AI gold rush. It's like the dot-com bubble, but with less Y2K panic and more existential dread. Investors are throwing money at these AI startups like confetti at a New Year's Eve party. And Perplexity is right there, soaking up the cash and growing bigger by the day. So, folks, get ready for the most electrifying election season ever! No, not the one with the real humans. I'm talking about the AI election, where bots battle it out for supremacy.   The Rise of the Machine Overlords You know how humans have been voting for centuries, like cavemen scratching their names on a rock wall? Well, those days are over. Now, we've got AI, the ultimate decision-maker. It's like having a super-smart toddler wh...

AI's Self-Improvement: A New Benchmark for Doom

So, let's talk about AI. You know, that thing that's supposed to make our lives easier, but is secretly plotting to take over the world? Well, apparently, scientists have decided to give it a test. A really hard test. The Beginning: The Terminator They've created this new benchmark called MLE-bench , which is basically a series of 75 incredibly difficult challenges. Think of it like a super-hard video game, but instead of beating bosses, you're beating algorithms. The goal? To see if AI can actually learn to improve itself without any human help. Because let's face it, if AI can figure out how to make itself smarter without us, we're basically screwed. Now, you might be wondering, "Why would we want AI to get smarter? Isn't that like giving a toddler a flamethrower and saying, 'Have fun!'?" Well, actually, there are some benefits. For example, AI could help us find new cures for diseases, develop better climate solutions, or even write ...
