Andriy Onufriyenko/Getty Artificial intelligence (AI) has reached a tipping point. People have adopted AI at an unprecedented scale, with almost two billion users worldwide, according to an estimate by the US venture capital firm Menlo Ventures. Also: ChatGPT was downloaded 30 million times last month - but its user base data is more shocking And yet, very little money is being made, perhaps only $12 billion annually, with most of that figure accounted for by OpenAI.

Has a late-night cheese session ever seemed to send you down your own personal Nightmare on Elm Street? You’re probably not alone. Research out today has revealed a link between lactose intolerance and a higher risk of bad dreams. Scientists in Canada conducted the study by surveying college students.

Senator Blackburn Pulls Support for AI Moratorium in Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Amid Backlash

wired.com Kate Knibbs 2025-09-07 09:18:19

As Congress races to pass President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” it’s also sprinting to placate the many haters of the bill’s “AI moratorium” provision which originally required a 10-year pause on state AI regulations. The provision, which was championed by White House AI czar and venture capitalist David Sacks, has proved remarkably unpopular with a diverse contingent of government officials, ranging from 40 state attorneys general to the ultra-MAGA representative Marjorie Taylor Green

Amazon CEO Jassy says AI will lead to 'fewer people doing some of the jobs' that get automated

cnbc.com Annie Palmer 2025-09-07 13:01:07

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said the rapid rollout of generative artificial intelligence means the company will one day require fewer employees to do some of the work that computers can handle. "Like with every technical transformation, there will be fewer people doing some of the jobs that the technology actually starts to automate," Jassy told CNBC's Jim Cramer in an interview on Monday. "But there's going to be other jobs." Even as AI eliminates the need for some roles, Amazon will continue to hi

Anthropic Let an AI Agent Run a Small Shop and the Result Was Unintentionally Hilarious

Anthropic ran an experiment where its Claude chatbot was put in charge of a tiny, automated "shop" inside its San Francisco headquarters — and the results were nothing short of hilarious. Despite claims in an Anthropic post that "Claudius," the name given to the AI agent in charge of stocking the shop's shelves, was "close to success," everything about the gambit seems to demonstrate just how bad AI is at managing things in the real world.

But a substantial chunk of neuroscientists think it might be possible to extract memories from a preserved brain and store those memories inside a computer, according to a new study.
