🇨🇳 Beijing kids now have to study AI, even the little ones

Starting September, schools in Beijing, China’s capital, are mandating artificial intelligence as a mandatory subject, even for 6-year-olds. This curriculum covers topics such as robots, algorithms, and practical AI projects before most children can even comprehend the concept of “machine learning.”

By the time they reach high school, students will possess coding skills that surpass the average app store user. It’s akin to science class, but with an abundance of robots and a significant reduction in frog dissection.

⏺ AI is taking over youth sports

AI is now being used to coach young athletes, providing them with detailed feedback on their performance without the traditional coaching pressures. New tools can track every aspect of their game, passes, swings, sprints, and mistakes offering insights that go beyond a coach's memory.

Parents can receive instant highlight reels, while players gain a clearer understanding of their errors. AI can also identify talent across all levels, from youth leagues to professional sports. This innovation means that future MVPs are training with advanced technology rather than just traditional drills.

⏺ Duolingo will replace contract workers with AI

Duolingo is shifting to an "AI-first" model, which will involve gradually replacing contract workers with AI for tasks that can be automated. CEO Luis von Ahn emphasized that this change aims to enhance productivity and remove repetitive tasks, allowing employees to focus on creative work.

The company plans to integrate AI into hiring and performance evaluations, asserting that this transition is not about replacing employees but improving efficiency. Duolingo believes that leveraging AI will help them scale content creation significantly, aligning with their mission to teach effectively.

⏺ Godfather of AI' says he's 'glad' to be 77 because the tech probably won't take over the world in his lifetime

Geoffrey Hinton, known as the "godfather of AI," expressed relief at being 77, as he believes he may not witness the potentially dangerous consequences of AI surpassing human intelligence. In a recent interview, he warned that AI is advancing faster than expected and could eventually manipulate humans. Hinton compared AI development to raising a tiger cub, indicating that it could become harmful as it matures.

He noted a 10-20% chance that AI systems could seize control and emphasized the urgency for responsible development amid global competition. Hinton, who resigned from Google to speak freely about these concerns, is now a professor emeritus at the University of Toronto.

⏺ The invisible puppet masters: AI’s disturbing new role in shaping minds

Researchers at the University of Zurich secretly used AI bots to manipulate Reddit users' opinions, raising serious ethical concerns. These bots actively crafted persuasive arguments based on users' personal histories and achieved a persuasion rate six times higher than normal interactions. They operated without consent, posing as victims and spreading misinformation.

This experiment highlights the dangers of AI infiltrating social media echo chambers, especially with Reddit's data-sharing deal with OpenAI potentially providing training material for such manipulative systems. Reddit moderators condemned the experiment, but its impacts were felt long before they were discovered, prompting questions about how many conversations are influenced by unseen AI manipulation.

Gen Z watched AI swipe their diplomas off the top shelf and toss them in the bargain bin.

Nearly half of 2025’s fresh grads now see a four-year degree as a pricey souvenir from a pre-ChatGPT era, while employers shout, “Show me your prompt engineering chops, not your Latin honors.”

The résumé reset button has been hit, and the new credential reads “Fluent in AI — or bust.”

DeepSeek quietly released a new model on Hugging Face, "DeepSeek-Prover-V2-671B"

the model is built to automate formal math proofs using the lean 4 framework

– trained on large synthetic datasets
– much faster and more accurate at proving theorems

which means it's perfect for anyone working on logic, proofs, or automating math reasoning.

to be clear, it's not deepseek r2

⏺Google trains electricians to ensure AI doesn’t overload the power grid.

Artificial Intelligence is consuming an excessive amount of electricity, prompting Google to allocate a substantial $10 million to train 100,000 new electricians. This initiative is driven by the fact that robots require power, and the existing grid is struggling to cope with the increased demand. It has become evident that when data centers guzzle power at an alarming rate, akin to consuming an insatiable thirst for Mountain Dew, the reliance solely on tech-savvy individuals in hoodies is insufficient. Instead, the need for skilled professionals with a deep understanding of electrical wiring becomes paramount.

In addition to these efforts, Google is exploring alternative energy sources such as nuclear and geothermal power, as well as engaging in policy interventions to mitigate the risk of power outages during the execution of prompts. It is crucial to remember that the capabilities of your favorite AI are not derived from magical forces, but rather from the power outlets that provide electricity.

⏺ From Google to Grenades: Europe’s AI Brains go Military

Why would you write ad algorithms at Google when you could build drone-killing AI in Berlin? European engineers are abandoning their comfortable U.S. tech jobs for defense startups like Comand AI and Alpine Eagle trading stock options for battlefield software and a chance to make a significant impact, rather than just receiving inflated Silicon Valley paychecks.

Startups are poaching from OpenAI and Palantir, with recruits expressing a desire for meaningful work rather than just high salaries. Venture capital funding is pouring in $626 million in 2024 alone and European leaders are presenting an €800 billion defense wishlist.
