Grok Bot is insane. I asked it to find every video where Dr. Roger Seheult discusses sunlight, red light, infrared light, and mitochondria, including MedCram videos and interviews with Andrew Huberman, Eric Berg, Steven Bartlett, and others. A few minutes later it had: • Found and transcribed 38 videos into one Word document • Picked the 13 best clips explaining the science • Cut and combined them into one 19:35 video I can watch straight through • Created a markdown file summarizing each clip, the science it covers, and the exact timestamp in the original video No scripts. No code. I just told it what I wanted in plain English, and it turned days of work into minutes. As a non-coder, this is the first AI agent that actually feels like a superpower.

A new AI model called Ox Alpha is gaining traction among developers after appearing online for free, even as the identity of its creator remains a mystery bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Sam Altman (@sama) calls Alec Radford (@AlecRad) "the most important, not very well-known researcher in the whole history of the field." His contributions to AI are remarkable: - DCGAN: Co-created the architecture that made deep convolutional GANs work and helped kickstart modern generative image modeling. - Improved GANs: Co-authored several important techniques for making GANs more stable and effective. - Sentiment Neuron: Discovered that simply predicting text could cause a neural network to spontaneously learn high-level concepts like sentiment. - GPT-1: Led the work that created GPT and established generative pre-training as a powerful approach to language. - GPT-2: Led the work showing that scaling next-token prediction produced increasingly general, zero-shot capabilities. - Scaling Laws: Co-authored the work establishing predictable power-law relationships between model performance, compute, data, and model size. - GPT-3: Helped demonstrate that language models could learn new tasks from examples in their context without updating their weights. - In-context learning: He specifically made the original observation that few-shot learning emerges in language models. - DALL-E: Contributed to the original work showing that Transformers could generate images directly from text. - CLIP: Led the work showing that hundreds of millions of image-text pairs could produce a general-purpose visual model capable of zero-shot recognition. - Unsupervised translation: Helped show that generative language models could produce state-of-the-art machine translation without parallel training data. - Whisper: Led the development of a speech recognition model trained on 680,000 hours of internet audio that generalized remarkably well without fine-tuning. - GPT-4: Contributed to the development of OpenAI’s first GPT model that could natively reason across both text and images. - GPT-4o: Contributed to OpenAI’s first natively multimodal model spanning text, vision, and audio. Alec is "also just a wonderful, top-tier human being."

China’s humanoid robot makers now control 97% of global shipments, giving Beijing an early lead over US rivals. But can they become everyday tools? bloom.bg/4bXjHDE

Hot waste piles can become environmental disasters. A new Bloomberg Businessweek analysis finds that many operators and regulators aren’t taking the steps experts say are needed bloomberg.com/features/2026-…

The 2026 World Humanoid Robot Games have begun. 666 teams from around the world are competing with more than 2,000 humanoid robots bloom.bg/4c6KRYG bloomberg.com/news/videos/20…

Humanoid robots will reach “mass market” popularity within a decade, after manufacturers solve problems that hold back their current usefulness, the founder of China’s Unitree Robotics said bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Financing costs for global investors making leveraged bets on SK Hynix’s South Korean shares have halved in recent weeks, after the chipmaker’s US listing and a brutal selloff in stocks linked to artificial intelligence bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Ebola is spreading rapidly beyond the main epicenter of Democratic Republic of Congo’s outbreak, overwhelming treatment capacity in some areas and putting mounting pressure on efforts to trace and contain infections bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Trump wants to rekindle his relationship with Kim Jong Un. But the North Korean leader is stronger, less isolated and potentially harder to bargain with than during Trump’s first term. Here’s what’s changed - and what’s at stake for South Korea bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
