AI is reshaping everything, from the shop floor to space, and today’s signals are loud and optimistic. Walmart is betting on people, rolling out AI training for 1.6M workers with Google, while India accelerates toward AI superpower status as Reliance, Adani, Microsoft, OpenAI, AMD and others commit billions to infrastructure and partnerships. The next wave demands real moats, not thin LLM wrappers, as Google warns. Meanwhile, safety and trust take center stage: alleged misuse of ChatGPT in violent crimes, OpenAI’s abuse monitoring after a tragedy, Predator spyware bypassing iOS recording indicators, and ransomware forcing Mississippi clinics offline, plus Colorado pushing age checks into operating systems. Innovation still shines: Oxford’s battery manufacturing insight for faster charging, NASA’s Artemis II timeline uncertainty, iPhone satellite SOS saving avalanche survivors, water harvested from dry air, compostable circuits cutting e-waste, organoids learning control tasks, and Samsung’s multi-agent Galaxy AI with Perplexity integration. …

AI is accelerating fast, and the stakes are rising just as quickly. @Bernie Sanders is calling for urgent guardrails on the coming AI wave, while real world failures show why: an AI coding agent helped trigger an #AWS outage, and platforms like #Discord and #Roblox are under fire for weak age checks and child safety gaps. Meanwhile, @Mark Zuckerberg faces intense scrutiny over #Instagram design choices and even courtroom concerns around #MetaAI glasses. Trust is also fraying across consumer tech, from MKBHD saying #Tesla stopped engaging with him as Autopilot liability headlines grow, to #YouTubePremium users hearing surprise ads on #GoogleHome. On security, #ATM jackpotting is surging, and Wikipedia is purging Archive.today links after tampering and #DDoS claims. The future is not only digital: nuclear waste to power breakthroughs and China’s megawatt flying wind turbine hint at cleaner energy momentum. Big money is pouring in too, with @Sam Altman’s OpenAI mapping a $600B compute path to 2030. …
