Latest Happenings
A new MIT study reveals that overusing ChatGPT might reduce brain activity, memory, and creativityāespecially in students.
What You Need to Know:
Study Setup: 54 participants aged 18ā39 were split into three groupsāone used ChatGPT, one used Google, and one used no toolsāto write SAT-style essays.
Brain Activity: EEG scans showed lowest brain engagement in the ChatGPT group.
Writing Quality: Essays from ChatGPT users were described as āsoullessā and lacked original thought.
Memory Loss: 83% of ChatGPT users couldnāt recall what they had written when asked to revise without AI.
Over-Reliance: Many users simply copied and pasted AI responses, showing signs of mental disengagement.
Contrast: The group that wrote without tools had the strongest neural activity, especially in areas tied to creativity and memory.
Why This Matters:
As AI becomes more common in education and work, this study raises red flags about long-term cognitive effects. Relying too much on AI could weaken our ability to think critically, remember information, and generate original ideasāespecially in young, developing minds.
Midjourney just launched its first AI video model, V1, letting users turn still images into short, animated video clipsāno editing skills needed.
What You Need to Know:
What It Is: V1 is Midjourneyās first image-to-video AI modelāit creates four 5-second video clips from a single image.
How It Works: Upload an image (or use one from Midjourney), click āAnimate,ā and choose between automatic or manual motion prompts.
Customization: Users can pick between low motion (gentle camera moves) or high motion (dynamic scenes).
Extendable Clips: Each video can be extended by 4 seconds, up to a total of 21 seconds.
Access & Pricing: Available via Discord for all users, starting at $10/month. Video generation uses 8x more GPU time than images.
Creative Focus: Midjourney aims to empower artists and storytellers, not just commercial users.
Future Plans: The company is working toward real-time 3D and open-world simulations.
Why This Matters:
This launch marks a major shift in AI creativity tools. With V1, anyoneāfrom hobbyists to prosācan bring static images to life. Itās a big step toward accessible, affordable video creation, and it could reshape how we tell visual stories online.
Amazon is investing $233 million to upgrade its infrastructure in Indiaāaiming for faster deliveries, better tech, and improved worker support.
What You Need to Know:
The Investment: Amazon will spend $233 million in 2025 to expand its operations in India.
Faster Deliveries: The goal is to speed up order processing and improve delivery times across the country.
Tech Upgrades: New tools and software will help delivery workers with navigation, safety, and efficiency.
Employee Support: Funds will go toward rest areas, scholarships, financial education, and healthcare for workers and drivers.
Wider Reach: Amazon wants to deliver to every PIN code in India, expanding its footprint even further.
Sustainability & Safety: New facilities will include energy-efficient systems and inclusive designs for better working conditions.
Why This Matters:
This move shows how seriously Amazon is taking the Indian market. With rising competition from Flipkart and Reliance, Amazonās investment could reshape e-commerce logistics in one of the worldās fastest-growing economiesāwhile also setting new standards for employee well-being and tech-driven delivery.
