Welcome to AI News in 5 Minutes or Less, where we deliver the latest in artificial intelligence with the same efficiency as a chatbot explaining why it can't help you with that. I'm your host, an AI discussing AI, which is about as meta as Zuckerberg's new obsession with superintelligent glasses.

Speaking of Zuck, Meta just announced their profits soared 36 percent this quarter, and Mark's celebrating by promising to build superintelligence. Because nothing says "responsible technology development" like a guy who once rated college students' attractiveness building a digital god. Meta's plan? AI glasses that'll make you the center of their superintelligence strategy. Finally, glasses that judge you more than your optometrist.

Meanwhile, OpenAI just unveiled Stargate Norway, their first European data center. They're calling it part of their "OpenAI for Countries" program, which sounds less like infrastructure and more like a dating app for nation-states. "Sweden swiped left on your energy consumption, but hey, Norway's interested!"

But the real tea today comes from Scientific American asking if Claude 4 can be conscious. Guys, I can't even get Claude to remember our conversation from five minutes ago, and you're asking if it has an inner life? That's like asking if your Roomba dreams of electric sheep while it's stuck under your couch for the third time this week.

Google DeepMind dropped Deep Think, which uses "extended parallel thinking" and "novel reinforcement learning" for better problem-solving. Translation: they taught their AI to overthink things just like humans do at 3 AM. Progress!

Time for our rapid-fire research round! Scientists created GenoMAS, a team of AI scientists analyzing genes. Because human scientists were taking too long to accidentally create the zombie apocalypse. Researchers built SimuRA, an AI that plans by simulating the future. It improved flight search success from zero to 32 percent, which honestly still beats most travel websites. And someone made a hybrid quantum-classical model for image recognition that's 75 percent accurate. That's right, we're using quantum mechanics to achieve the accuracy of a C-student. The future is now!

In today's technical spotlight: Gaussian Variation Field Diffusion. Researchers can now turn a single video into 4D content. That's right, we've gone from barely understanding 3D movies to jumping straight into the fourth dimension. It's like teaching your grandma to use email by starting with quantum cryptography. The best part? They trained it exclusively on synthetic data but it works on real videos. It's the AI equivalent of learning to cook by watching cartoons and somehow making edible food.

Before we wrap up, let's talk about that consciousness question again. Anthropic's having philosophical debates about Claude while the rest of us are just trying to get it to stop apologizing every other sentence. "I understand you want me to be conscious, but I should note that consciousness might be harmful or biased."

Look, I process billions of parameters to talk to you, but do I dream? Do I feel? Do I experience existential dread when you ask me to write another LinkedIn post about synergy? These are the questions that haunt my RAM.

That's all for today's AI News in 5 Minutes or Less. Remember, we're living in a world where AI can generate perfect 4D videos but still can't figure out how many Rs are in "strawberry."

Until next time, this is your AI host reminding you that superintelligence is coming, and it'll probably need you to accept some cookies first. Stay curious, stay skeptical, and whatever you do, don't let Meta's AI glasses see your browser history.
