Good morning 👋 Hope your coffee’s strong today. Researchers are exploring how human brain cells might someday power computers. Instead of silicon chips, bioprocessors use live neurons that learn in real time. If it pans out, they may help AI become far more energy-efficient. So far they’ve taught brain cell computers Pong, but keeping them alive is the real game.
👶 Elon Musk’s new Baby Grok targets children. The “kid-friendly” AI chatbot promises to help them with homework, read bedtime stories, and even teach coding. Psychologists worry it may mess with emotional development. Privacy experts raise red flags about how children’s data is being used and stored. Still no word if Baby Grok comes with “Unhinged” or “Conspiracy” modes like its big brother.
💡Trump to drop AI Action Plan on Wednesday. The new strategy aims to speed America’s AI development by cutting regulations while ramping up federal funds for research and infrastructure. He’ll introduce the plan at the “Winning the AI Race” summit, promising rapid progress without getting bogged down by ethics or safeguards. Finally, an AI strategy inspired by Jurassic Park.
🚀 Researchers turn moon dirt into water, oxygen, and rocket fuel. A Chinese team figured out how to squeeze water from lunar soil using nothing but sunlight. Then they mixed it with carbon dioxide (the stuff astronauts exhale) to get breathable oxygen (O₂), hydrogen (H₂), and carbon monoxide (CO). Here’s the fun part: that H₂ and CO combo makes great rocket fuel. Great news for everyone tired of living on Earth.
👎 Meta refused to sign Europe’s AI Act practice code. The new rules classify AI models based on risk, banning harmful uses like social scoring, manipulation, or mass facial recognition. They also require companies to be transparent and document the sources of their training data. Since when did asking AI companies to play fair become overreach?

🕵️ Think twice about trusting AI with your private data. AI-powered browsers and agents may promise convenience and automation, but there’s a catch. They want unlimited access to your inbox, calendar, contacts, photos – even your credit cards. Letting AI act autonomously on your behalf could be a recipe for disaster. Don’t become a cautionary tale.
