Good morning 👋 especially to the moms who’ve tackled pregnancy, morning sickness, and late-night ice cream runs like total champs. Bringing kids into this world isn’t easy, but at least robots haven’t taken the job yet… right? Well, Chinese scientists are building the first robot designed to grow human babies in an artificial womb. With a working prototype expected next year, we’ll soon be plugging babies into a charger overnight.
✍️ Can’t find a job? Try letting AI write your résumé. New research shows AI has a strong bias for its own writing style and downgrades content written by real people. If an algorithm does the screening and you don’t get a callback, it might be discriminating against you. At least now you know the secret handshake.
🪫 The US doesn’t have enough energy to power its AI ambitions. But China does. While America’s aging power grid struggles to meet surging demand, China adds more new electricity each year than Germany uses in total – and has more than enough to build all the AI data centers it wants. If China’s domestic chips start catching up, America’s AI lead might last about as long as the pizza at an all-night hackathon.
🏛️ Could AI run an entire country? Albania’s ready to try. While Europe debates AI safety and the US tries to deregulate it, Albania is diving in headfirst. Prime Minister Edi Rama says the country might soon replace government officials with AI to fight corruption and speed up decision making. Finally, a leader you can unplug when things get weird.
⚡ A startup just unlocked a surprising source of renewable energy. Cities are sitting on huge amounts of untapped heat in places like subways and underground parking garages. Swiss startup Enerdrape figured out how to capture all that wasted energy, delivering power for just $0.03 to $0.04 per kWh – way cheaper than the US average of $0.17. Soon basements will be worth more than a penthouse.

🧾 Open-source AI models can cost 10x more. Seriously? Yep. A new study found those “free” open-source models burn through far more compute doing the exact same tasks as closed models. Researchers think open models might trade efficiency for deeper reasoning. All this talk about token efficiency and compute costs sounds like crypto bros whining about gas prices.
🏇 The AI arms race is now a high-stakes gambling sport. Every month, millions of dollars flow through betting sites where people wager on which AI model will win next. Traders obsess over leaks, leaderboards, and social media beefs. It’s not just the pros: even regular folks are placing bets, hoping to become the Warren Buffett of AI rumors.
