Andrew Ng, the founder and former leader of Google Brain, supports Google’s recent decision to remove its pledge not to build an AI system for weapons. “We are extremely pleased that Google has changed its stance,” NG said in an on-stage interview with TechCrunch at the Military Veteran Startup Conference in San Francisco.

Elon Musk doesn’t want Tesla to become just an automaker. He hopes Tesla will become an AI company. This found a way to drive the car yourself. Important to that mission is Dojo, Tesla’s custom built supercomputer. FSDs are not actually completely self-driving. You can perform some automated driving tasks, but you still need a polite person behind the wheel. However, Tesla believes that with more data, more computational power and more training, it could potentially exceed the near-autonomous to fully autonomous driving threshold. And that’s where Dojo comes in. Musk teased Dojo for a while, but the executives strengthened…
“The Super Bowl is now magnitude large enough to almost deny the imagination,” said former NFL commissioner Paul Taliabue. Every year, on the first Sunday of February, America pretends to be the Super Bowl, the biggest and most important, most expensive sporting event of the year. This huge event rivals several other large-scale events, such as the World Cup, the Olympics, and the Tour de France. It’s a big challenge for security. Can we properly consider all attendees, quell the threats when they pop up and keep the flow of the event and the talk of the story alive? If…
The AI system developed by Google Deepmind, the leading AI research lab at Google, appears to outperform the average gold medalist when solving geometric problems in international mathematical competition. The system called Alphageometry2 is an improved version of Alphageometry, a system of DeepMind released last January. In a newly published study, the deep researchers behind Alphagemetry2 solve 84% of all geometric problems in the last 25 years at the International Mathematics Olympiad (IMO), a mathematics contest for high school students. It claims that it can be done. Why is Deepmind interested in high school-level math competition? Well, the lab thinks…

Elon Musk calls what he claims within Medicare and Medicaid “the epicenter of fraud.” In a post on X, Musk said the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) “wasted $100 million in taxpayer money.” Musk tweeted that his Doge team (the government’s efficiency department) would work with CMS officials to review the payment and contracting system. With this revelation, the scale of fraud and mismanagement in these programs faces serious scrutiny, and the Trump administration is preparing to tackle abuse head-on. This revelation could shake up the American health care system. Musk, a major effort under President Trump’s newly…
The humanoid robotics company figure raised an eyebrow this week when it announced it was leaving its partnership with Openai in support of building its own in-house AI model. Figure CEO Brett Adcock hints at a “major breakthrough” in their own process, and is set to unveil “something no one has ever seen on humanoids” next month. It’s not just companies experimenting with non-Openai solutions. Last week, researchers from Stanford and Washington University demonstrated that they can train highly competent “inference” models for under $50 in cloud calculation credits, in stark contrast to the costs associated with OpenAI models. .…
