Why it matters: It was only a matter of time before governments jumped aboard the AI hype train. The US government has a lousy track record when it comes to rolling out tech projects – remember the Affordable Care Act website fiasco? Now, it is launching a new LLM, and early signs suggest the tool is rushed and unfinished. The Food and Drug Administration has officially launched "Elsa," a generative artificial intelligence platform designed to help staff across the agency work more efficiently.

Are we on the cusp of truly affordable Teslas? A YouTuber flew a drone over Tesla's Fremont test track and saw what may be its new cheap model racing around it. As spotted by Teslarati, new flyover footage from an account that calls itself "Met God in Wildnerness" — which along with frequent Fremont flyovers also publishes what appear to be Christian missives in Chinese — there's a good chance that the disguised vehicle could be a prototype for Tesla's purported affordable model.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of caffeine ingestion on the brain during sleep. In particular, we compared the effects of caffeine to that of placebo on neural oscillations, brain complexity and measures of critical behavior. Importantly, we set out to characterize these effects across REM and NREM sleep, and across age. In a nutshell, we found that caffeine induces a broad boost in brain complexity and a prominent shift towards criticality. These effects were substant
