Musk’s Grok 3.5 Plans to ‘Rewrite the Entire Corpus of Human Knowledge’
Elon Musk just dropped the plan: Grok 3.5 (aka the next-gen “Grok 4”) will comb through all of human knowledge, rewrite the mess, purge “garbage,” and retrain itself to be smarter and (his words) less “woke.” He’s inviting X users to add “divisive facts.” Critics are side-eyeing it as Orwellian data control.
AI and Our Need to Believe: Why We're Falling Hard for Robots
Humans love to believe AI gets us—even when it really doesn’t. When chatbots speak fluently, we lean on them, projecting empathy and intent (aka the ELIZA effect). But that fluency masks how AI lacks memory, intention, and our messy lived experience. The risk? We might outsource too much of our thinking, emotional nuance, and sense of self to machines that don’t actually feel.
iPhone 16’s AI Moment: Hardware Flex, But Software Still Lags
Apple’s gearing up for the next iPhone launch with slick hardware moves: possible thinner iPhone Air, A18 chips, boosted Neural Engine—and solid on-device AI firepower. But true AI smarts? Still MIA. Analysts say upgrades alone won’t cut it without major AI breakthroughs or bigger acquisitions.
Our Brains Do Stuff AI Can’t—Yet
The human brain instantly senses what we can do in a scene—like walk on a path or swim in water—while AI systems totally miss that vibe. Dutch researchers found special brain signals that predict our next move without thinking. The headline: AI still can’t match our built-in “action radar.”
AI’s Global Divide: Computing Power Is the New Frontier
Not everyone’s getting AI equally—and it’s mostly about compute. The U.S. and allies are locking down AI chips and model infrastructure, while less-resourced countries lag, widening global tech gaps . This isn’t just about data—it’s about who actually runs the AI race based on where the servers live.
AI Is About to Be Your New Lawyer, Doctor, and Financial Advisor
Forget generic chatbots—AI built specifically for legal, medical, and financial advice is going mainstream. Think slick, real-time interfaces that zip past old-school directories. Professionals won’t disappear, but the first impression? Totally digital. Your attention's the new currency.
Smell Meets AI: Digitizing the Sense of Scent for Health & Sustainability
AI is finally learning how to smell—using molecule scans and neural nets to map scents like a digital olfactory fingerprint. This “olfactory intelligence” could speed up perfume creation, detect diseases in breath, make smarter bug repellents, and even help us share scents digitally or monitor environmental hazards.
