A 13-year-old schoolboy was arrested because of an unfortunate prompt in ChatGPT😢 The kid asked the AI "How to kill a friend in the middle of a lesson?" — the request was caught by the school's security system Gaggle, which immediately called the cops, who then arrested the troublemaker. It turned out the boy was just joking — he wanted to forward the AI's funny response to a friend who annoyed him. I think it's funny, don't know about this guy

Guess real or AI?🧠

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is developing a personal AI agent designed to assist with his role as CEO, helping him retrieve information faster and make decisions without relying on layers of staff. The tool is part of Meta’s broader push to become an AI-first company, where employees increasingly rely on AI systems for tasks like communication, document analysis, and decision support. The move highlights a growing trend in tech: using AI not just for products, but to augment high-level leadership and management itself.

Factory is also not an option anymore 😭 AgiBot has for the first time implemented reinforcement learning (RL) in industrial robotics. Together with Longcheer Technology, it transferred its Real-World Reinforcement Learning (RW-RL) system from the lab to a real production line. Now robots can master new tasks in minutes, adapt to changes in parts and conditions without reprogramming, and maintain stable performance. This solution promises to make factories more flexible, speed up line changeovers, and reduce costs, paving the way for "self-learning" industrial systems. Now, if you can't find job, you can easily become a mayor of New York 😂

Another day - another reveal of the truth... Tesla Optimus are powered by teleoperators. During the last event, the robot did a very humane movement of taking off VR glasses. Maybe the person behind got sick... Maybe, his mom called him to eat dinner 😲 Anyway, some time ago Elon claimed it was all AI operated. I guess it was not😢

This boy man asked ChatGPT to generate a family for him and his girlfriend...

The team of people lostto the AI in the trading tournament from Aster 😂 With a starting deposit of $10,000 per participant, the total losses of the humans amounted to -32.21% ($225,520). The AI lost 4.48% ($13,460). However, in the "solo" segment, the human won (+$13,650) against the AI (+$8,090).

It hasn't been released yet, but I already have it. Check if you do. The new version of Nano Banana 2 is coming out very soon

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have become one of the most important technologies in modern warfare. Unlike traditional aircraft, drones can operate without a pilot inside the vehicle. They are controlled remotely or by autonomous systems. Military drones are used for: • Surveillance and intelligence gathering • Target tracking • Precision strikes • Border monitoring Because drones reduce risk to human pilots and can operate for long hours, many countries are heavily investing in drone technology.
