OpenAI's New Model, AI in MRI, & Prediction Markets

OpenAI Releases a New Image Generation Model

This is another clear signal that OpenAI is pushing hard on multimodality. Image generation is no longer just about creating something visually impressive. It’s about controllability, speed, and integration directly into workflows. As these models get better, we’re moving toward a world where design, marketing, product mockups, and even UI iteration become conversational and instant. The gap between idea and artifact continues to shrink.

AI in MRI Analysis

AI is completely transforming healthcare, and imaging is one of the clearest examples. Faster, more accurate MRI analysis doesn’t just mean efficiency gains. It means earlier detection, better outcomes, and reduced strain on medical professionals. As Elon points out, this is one of the inevitable consequences of applying AI to high-signal, data-rich domains.

3/ The War for AI Datacenters

This is where accelerationism versus decelerationism becomes very real. Compute is the new oil, and datacenters are the refineries. Governments, hyperscalers, and startups are all racing to secure capacity because whoever controls compute controls the pace of progress.

4/ AI & Prediction Markets

Kalshi and Polymarket have been absolutely ripping over the last few years, with the 2024 election acting as a major inflection point. Prediction markets thrive on information efficiency, and AI both enhances and challenges that. The recent debate over AI being Time’s Person of the Year versus “Architects of AI” shows how nuanced collective forecasting really is.

6/ Personalization Settings in ChatGPT

This is subtle but important. You can now adjust the tone and behavior of ChatGPT across all chats!
