🖥 OpenAI's Brockman Says AI Now Writes 80% of Code

OpenAI President Greg Brockman told a Sequoia Capital audience this week that agentic coding tools have undergone a dramatic leap, going from writing 20% of code to 80% over the course of December 2025, a shift he described as moving AI from a convenience to a necessity.

🎓 Oral Exams Are Making a Comeback at U.S. Universities

"You can't just coast through an oral exam with the help of AI," says Chris Schaffer, a professor of biomedical engineering at Cornell University. He introduced an oral defense format after written assignments: no laptops, no chatbots, no paper—the student simply has to explain to the instructor what they did and why.

American universities are increasingly returning to in-person knowledge checks. Students submit nearly perfect essays and solutions, but they can't always explain their own work. The issue isn't just whether a student used ChatGPT—it's whether they actually learned anything at all.

ℹ️ For example, NYU Stern School of Business is already testing a voice AI assistant that administers exams to students.

💡 The next stage of education may not be a total ban on AI, but a new way of verifying authorship and understanding: can a student defend the work they turned in?

Are oral exams necessary?

❤️ — Yes, it's a real test
🔥 — No, it's a relic of the past

💉 Cameroon Sees 70% Drop In Child Malaria Cases With Full Vaccination

More than two years after Cameroon introduced the malaria vaccine into its routine schedule, health officials report a 70% decrease in cases among young children who receive the full series of doses.

A WHO official noted that when the vaccine is used correctly alongside other tools, it significantly reduces child mortality. Malaria remains a major health threat in the country, causing most deaths among children under five.

🥴 Singapore Introduces School Caning For Bullying

Singapore has introduced new guidelines allowing schools to use caning as a last resort for male students aged nine and older who engage in bullying, including cyberbullying. The punishment, limited to a maximum of three strokes, will only be administered by authorized teachers following approval from a principal.

International organizations, including UNICEF, oppose such corporal punishment, citing risks to the physical and mental health of children.

Do you support these measures?

❤️ — Yes, it is fair
🔥 — No, these are medieval methods!

📱 Apple Could Be Working on 'Spatial iPhone' With Holographic Display

Rumors suggest Samsung is developing a holographic display that could be used in a future "Spatial iPhone."

According to a leak, the technology uses eye-tracking and a nano-structured layer to create 3D effects without glasses. The screen would function as a normal 4K display, only activating the holographic depth for specific content.

Samsung has been researching this for years, and Apple has explored similar concepts for a long time. However, the project is still in early development, and such smartphones likely won't arrive until around 2030s.

💼 60% of Today's Jobs in the U.S. Did Not Exist in 1940

These are the findings of the report recently published by Bank of America. The analysts argue that apocalyptic predictions about AI "sit uneasily with both economic theory and the evidence so far."

The labor market is constantly transforming, economists note. For example, agriculture, which employed about 40% of Americans at the beginning of the 20th century, now accounts for only 1% of jobs. E-commerce hasn't killed retail either: in the U.S., about 16 million people still work in this sector—roughly the same as in the 1990s.

"Adaptability is the new job security," the report states.

💡 According to the bank's estimates, the implementation of AI will affect one in four jobs worldwide—a total of about 840 million positions, and in high-income countries—up to one-third. But this doesn't mean people will lose their jobs: only 2.3% of professions could become fully automated.

Will your profession still exist in 50 years?

❤️ — Yes, definitely
🔥 — Probably not...

🔴 Go to @GPT4Telegrambot

1️⃣ Select Image Generation → GPT Image 2 and attach your photo with the prompt:

로드한 인물 얼굴은 실제 그대로 유지하고, AI 미남/미녀 느낌 말고
"진짜 KBO 생중계 카메라에 우연히 잡힌 일반인 관중" 처럼 자연스럽게 생 성.
SPOTVIKBO 방송 캡처 느낌, 관중석 직캠 구도, 주변 관중•맥주컵•응원도구•선풍기 자연스럽게 배치.
중요:
얼굴 과보정 금지
눈 키우기 금지
턱 보정 금지
피부 뽀샤시 금지
화보 느낌 금지
인플루언서 느낌 금지
실제 방송처럼:
약간 흐린 생중계 화질, 압축 노이즈, 미세한 모션블러, 현실적인 피부결, 잔 머리와 땀광 표현.
다리 꼬고 편하게 경기 보는 모습, 카메라 의식한 듯 안 한 듯한 자연스러운 표정.

2️⃣ To bring the image to life, go to the menu and select Video Generation → Kling AI, version 3.0. Use this prompt:

Add gentle, believable motion to the main subject in the center of the frame, making it feel like the person is being shown live by a real stadium broadcast camera during a busy baseball game. The subject should respond to the action naturally, with realistic eye direction, small head movements, blinking, subtle breathing, slight shifts in expression, and spontaneous reactions typical of someone watching the game from the stands.
The behavior should feel candid and unposed, as if the broadcast camera briefly picked out this person in the crowd during a live telecast. The audience around them should also appear active and convincing, with natural crowd movement, an excited game-day atmosphere, and the visual feel of an authentic sports broadcast.
Keep the overall result immersive, cinematic, and highly realistic — like a genuine moment from a televised baseball game. Preserve a natural posture, subtle blinking, and true live sports broadcast energy. Avoid making the eyes look crossed.

✅ In a few minutes the bot will send you the finished clip!

💻 A New Virus Has a 1-in-6 Chance to Wipe PC from Iran or Israel

A newly discovered virus runs a script which has a 1-in-6 chance of completely wiping systems detected as being in Israel or Iran, while deliberately ignoring machines with Russian-language environments.

Hackers injected malicious code into dozens of open-source repositories, including Mistral AI's Python library and over 150 other packages.

As soon as a developer includes an infected library in their project or updates dependencies, the virus activates and silently steals secret tokens and access keys to cloud infrastructure.

How do you feel about AI remakes of classic series?

❤️ — Fine, as long as the quality is there
🔥 — Absolutely not, please no!
