OpenAI's AGI Team, Rogan + Trump goes Nuclear, & Gardens

1/ AGI Readiness: Pressing Pause or Losing the Plot?

OpenAI just pulled the plug on its AGI readiness team, sparking some serious questions. The big reveal? Miles Brundage, a senior advisor, has left the building, saying that OpenAI—and society as a whole—just "aren't ready" for ultra-powerful AI systems.

There's a noticeable trend at OpenAI: the "safetyists" are taking their exit, leaving the "accelerationists" in the driver's seat. This internal clash mirrors a larger societal debate: Should we speed up AI advancements or prioritize safeguards?

2/ Joe Rogan + Trump Weigh In on Nuclear Energy

The long-awaited podcast between Joe Rogan and Donald Trump didn’t disappoint (over 20 million views on Youtube), especially when the conversation shifted to nuclear energy. Both agreed it has massive potential as a clean power source—a stance Elon Musk backs, too.

Nuclear power isn’t just another option; it’s a game-changer for AI. Its stable, high-capacity energy can meet AI’s relentless demand for power, making it essential for running data centers smoothly and sustainably.

The USA should be harnessing all energy for the progression of humanity and civilization!

And that’s why it’s critical that the government lifts regulations- it would unleash american innovation in this field!

3/ AI with a Green Thumb: Talking Gardens

In an unexpected twist, garden designer Tom Massey has teamed up with Microsoft to create an AI-enabled garden. Imagine strolling through a garden and casually asking, “How are you?” The garden might reply, “I need a bit more water” or “I’m thriving!” This AI-powered interaction ensures that farmers, gardeners, and plant lovers are always attuned to the garden’s needs.

This innovation could revolutionize agriculture, bringing a new level of care and understanding to nurturing the natural world.
