Hand-picked News

AI could make America’s economy trillions of dollars bigger, but who actually gets the money?

  • Anthropic estimates US GDP could reach $44.4 trillion by 2030 in its most optimistic scenario. Its more modest outlook puts the economy at $34.1 trillion.

  • The big driver is productivity. AI could help businesses produce more with less human effort, changing how companies hire and compete.

  • The catch is who benefits. If AI lets companies grow without adding many jobs, workers may not share equally in the gains.

A bigger economy doesn't guarantee a better deal for workers.

This week, test one AI tool on a real task you do repeatedly and measure how much time it actually saves.

You might soon run powerful AI models on your laptop without paying for every cloud request.

  • NVIDIA’s new RTX Spark laptops bring powerful AI hardware to Windows PCs, with up to 128GB of shared memory for running large AI models locally.

  • Major PC makers, including ASUS, Lenovo, and MSI, are bringing these machines to market. They target developers and power users who want to run AI without relying entirely on cloud services.

  • The big hurdle is price. Starting around $2,600, these laptops may be overkill for anyone who mainly uses ChatGPT or basic AI tools.

Would you pay more to run AI privately on your own laptop?

This week, try running one AI model locally on your current computer before spending money on new hardware.

AI is moving into weapons that could make underwater attacks harder to detect and stop.

  • North Korea claims its Zam-2.0 torpedo uses AI to detect targets and guide its movements. The country says the weapon has undergone years of development and extensive testing.

  • The big concern is how much control AI could take over during combat. Faster target detection and guidance could leave enemy forces with less time to react.

  • The next question is whether North Korea can prove the system works as claimed. Experts still lack enough public evidence to judge its true capabilities.

When weapons make decisions faster, humans have less time to intervene.

This week, AI builders should think through how their tools could be misused and add clear human oversight wherever automated decisions could cause real harm.

A CRM so smart, it updates itself.

HubSpot's CRM is so smart, it now updates itself. Calls get logged and summarized the moment they end. New leads get researched and a first outreach drafted, automatically. Deals move forward on their own, with next steps flagged before you have to ask. 

Even the one repetitive task you've been meaning to fix can now run itself, no code required. Customers using it are already seeing the difference. 

This isn't the CRM you have to work hard to figure out. It's the one already working before you log in.

Tesla just showed off a Roadster that can flip in midair using SpaceX thrusters. Be honest, are you impressed or rolling your eyes?

  • A. That’s absolutely insane – 25%

  • B. Show me the real car - 75% 🏆

Tesla’s biggest problem isn’t the tech, it’s proving the tech belongs in a real car. Cool tricks get attention, but people need a reason to believe the Roadster will actually ship.
