AI horror film sparks talk about honesty in creativity
A recent fuss happened over a scary movie called “Late Night With the Devil” using computer-made pictures without saying so. People are arguing about whether creators should tell us when they use AI-made stuff. Some say yes, so we’re not tricked and can give credit to tech. Others worry too many rules will stop cool ideas. But this chat shows how AI is increasingly part of art and why we need to talk about the right and wrong of it.
AI shares shoot up as folks invest in tomorrow
Investors are betting big on AI companies. Stocks in AI companies, like Super Micro and Nvidia, are growing fast. Recently, these companies have been playing the role of shovel in this AI rush. Big tech giants like Google and Meta and newbie AI startups need these high-power GPUs and technology to train their AI models. This means AI is not just something far off but a real chance for investors to make money and change how money works.
Open-source code helps robots improve:
Researchers are exploring new avenues to make robots that gradually help them understand and communicate with humans more efficiently and develop human-like reasoning abilities. To achieve this level, Open Source collaboration would be a great option. Sharing ideas and code helps this happen faster. By working together, we can make robots that talk to us like humans and do what we ask them to do. This is a way to make AI work better for us.
Apple might team up with Google for smarter iPhones
Apple is now stepping out from the AI race. According to the latest sources, Apple is in talks with Google to integrate their AI model, Gemini, into the next iPhone, iOS 18. This could enhance the user experience with advanced features such as smart virtual assistants, personalized search results, and user preference recommendations. If it happens, it’ll be a big deal and change how we use our phones.

Nvidia GTC Summary
NVIDIA GTC(GPU Technology Conference) is a yearly event where Nvidia shows its new innovations and advancements in the fields of AI, computer graphics, and data science. GTC has become a massive superhit event with over 22 million views this year. People on X are comparing this event with the Taylor Swift concert as the number of people who attended it and claiming it as equally revolutionary as Steve Jobs’s first iPhone launch in the field of AI. Some of the highlights from the conference include the announcement of the new Blackwell platform, NVIDIA Inference Microservice, Project GR00T, and collaborations with industry leaders.
The new GPU platform Blackwell is designed to enable organizations to deploy real-time generative AI with trillion-parameter models at a cost and energy consumption up to 25 times less than earlier models. Key features include a 208B transistor AI Superchip, a 2nd Gen Transformer Engine with FP4/FP6 Tensor Cores, a 5th Generation NVLink that scales to 576 GPUs, RAS Engine with 100% In-System Self-Test, Secure AI with Full Performance Encryption, and a Decompression Engine that can process 800GB/sec. NVIDIA introduced the NIM, a cloud-native microservice that offers prebuilt containers and Helm charts for quick setup and deployment. It also has industry-standard APIs, optimized inference engines, and support for custom models on the NVIDIA AI Enterprise runtime.
The company also discussed its plans for future software development, envisioning a shift away from traditional coding to a more collaborative approach that leverages specialized AIs. This approach, dubbed Agents, would involve a SUPER-AI delegating tasks to AIs with different areas of expertise, such as SAP’s ABAP or data manipulation with Pandas. Finally, NVIDIA highlighted its GR00T project, which aims to develop robots that can learn and adapt through observation and practice. GR00T robots are set to be used in various ways, like helping in factories, assisting people personally, and responding to disasters. The project involves working with top robotics firms like Agility Robotics and Boston Dynamics. Additionally, NVIDIA revealed partnerships with big companies like IBM to keep improving and using AI.

Prompt of the Week
Last Week, I was trying to remember a topic related to microprocessors for my class test. But it was so hard that I couldn’t recall the names and technical terms about the evolution of processors. I Googled it and found that Mind Mapping is one of the best ways to learn anything quickly. However, making visuals to study and simplify complex ideas takes much time. So, I used ChatGPT and other tools to create a suitable mind map.
Here is the result:
Now, let’s create your own.
- First, head to ChatGPT and write the prompt.
Create a mind map of [Your Topic]. List topics such as central ideas, main branches, and sub-branches. - Once the ChatGPT responds, ask it to convert it into markdown format.
- Copy the markdown format.
- Visit- https://markmap.js.org/
- Paste the markdown content into the editor.
Your ideas will convert into colorful branches of the mind map. - After finishing, download it as interactive HTML or an SVG for pictures.
