Do these scenes concern you?

🧵🇺🇸 ELON’S DOGE IS HUNGRY FOR BUREAUCRACY — AND WASHINGTON’S FEELING THE BITE

@DOGE, Elon’s latest mission to fix what’s broken in D.C., just dropped a week of bold, flashy moves.

Less bloated bureaucracy, more sharp scissors.

Here’s what they pulled off this week — whether you love it, hate it, or just want to understand what the heck’s going on: 🧵👇Image
1. THE CREDIT CARD CRACKDOWN

Ever wonder how many credit cards the government has?

Try 4.6 million. And nearly 50,000 of them were just sitting there, unused.

DOGE shut down 48,000 P-cards (Government Purchasing Cards) this week — part of a $30 billion chunk of spending.

They say it’s a push to streamline the $40B annual spend machine.Image
2. NIH GRANTS GET THE AXE

DOGE told the NIH to cancel 7 grants — including $532K for testosterone tests on mice and $33K for rat-based hormone therapy studies.

Earlier cuts included $699K on cannabis research in LGBTQ+ communities and $620K on teen pregnancy studies.

The message is clear, and good to hear: no more government cash for niche science experiments.Image

Google just made your dream dev assistant real.

They recently released Firebase Studio — an AI tool that can build and ship entire applications from a simple idea.

This isn’t just a code generator…
It’s a full-stack app builder powered by AI.

Here’s what you need to know: 🧵 Image
1. Firebase Studio is a new cloud-based development platform made for building AI-powered apps. It brings everything you need into one place — from writing and testing your code to deploying and running apps in production.

It’s designed to save you time, reduce complexity, and help you create high-quality AI applications faster than ever. Whether you're just starting or scaling up, Firebase Studio makes the entire process smoother with built-in tools and automation.Image
2. Quickly Build AI Apps with Firebase Studio

Firebase Studio makes it easy to start building AI apps using simple prompts, images, or even sketches. Just use the App Prototyping agent to create working web app prototypes (starting with Next.js) in seconds.

When you click “Prototype this app,” it instantly creates a functional Next.js web app — not just the UI, but also the backend setup.

It also connects everything with Genkit and gives you a Gemini API key, so your AI features work right away without any extra setup.Image

This week in AI was absolutely WILD. 🤯

Insane updates from:
🧠 OpenAI
🔍 Google
🧠 Claude
📱 Meta
…and more.

Here’s everything you need to know 👇 Image
1. OpenAI is giving college students in the US and Canada free access to ChatGPT Plus until the end of May.

This $20/month plan includes advanced tools like GPT-4o (its most powerful AI model), image creation, voice features, and better research support — all for free during final exam season. The move is seen as part of OpenAI’s push to compete with rivals like Anthropic in the education space.Image
2. Google introduces CURIE, a new benchmark to test how well AI can handle scientific tasks.

CURIE stands for long-Context Understanding, Reasoning, and Information Extraction. It's designed to evaluate how large language models (LLMs) can solve complex scientific problems and support researchers in real-world scientific work.Image

🇺🇸 WORLD LEADERS RESPOND TO TRUMP’S NEW TRADE WAR — THREAD🧵

Trump’s aggressive new tariffs—hitting cars, steel, tech, and more—are sparking fierce global backlash.

With duties reaching as high as 50%, allies are furious, rivals are retaliating, and markets are rattled.

From China to India to Australia, here’s how world leaders are reacting—some are fighting back, others are pleading for diplomacy.

Let’s break it down country by country 👇Image
1. 🇨🇳 CHINA

Beijing’s Ministry of Commerce:

“We strongly oppose the U.S. tariffs.

If the U.S. insists, China will fight until the end.”

Trump is now threatening 104% tariffs on Chinese imports starting tonight—one of the largest escalations in modern trade history. Image
2. 🇪🇺 EUROPEAN UNION

Ursula von der Leyen:

“We have offered zero-for-zero tariffs for industrial goods.

We are also prepared to respond through countermeasures and defend our interests.”

Trump’s new tariffs on EU industrial goods reach up to 35%, with Brussels warning of retaliation if talks fail.

What if AI didn’t just answer your homework but taught you how to think?

Anthropic’s new "Claude for Education" is here to flip the script on AI in classrooms. This isn’t about cheating—it’s about learning smarter.

Let’s break it down in this thread 🧵👇
1. First up: the star of the show—Learning Mode.

Instead of spitting out answers, Claude asks you questions like “How would you solve this?” or “What’s your evidence?”

It’s like having a Socratic tutor in your pocket, pushing critical thinking over rote responses. Image
2. Imagine tackling calculus or drafting a thesis.

Claude doesn’t just solve it for you—it guides you step-by-step, reinforcing concepts.

Early tests show it’s already helping students at Northeastern, LSE, and Champlain College.

50,000+ users at Northeastern alone—wild. Image

NVIDIA GTC 2025 just dropped a bombshell 🤯

Jensen Huang’s keynote unveiled the future of AI & robotics.

Buckle up—here’s what’s coming: next-gen GPUs, humanoid robots, and insane compute power.

Let’s break it down 👇Image
1. First up: Blackwell Ultra GPU. Dropping late 2025, it’s a beast—25x the performance of today’s chips.

Then there’s Vera Rubin (2026), a superchip set to redefine AI. NVIDIA’s not playing around!
2. Robotics stole the show with GR00T N1—a humanoid foundation model.

Think Star Wars vibes but real. Trained in virtual worlds with Omniverse & Cosmos, it’s open-source and ready to change the game.
