This week in AI/Tech was a whirlwind of breakthroughs, billion-dollar bets, and bold government moves.
From AI smashing math olympiads to new chips saving the planet's energy, here's the scoop that'll make you rethink the future.
Let's dive in 👇🏾
1. US Drops Bombshell AI Action Plan!
The White House unveiled "Winning the Race: America's AI Action Plan" on July 23, aiming to supercharge AI development, boost transparency, and ease regulations for rapid data center growth.
Could this cement America's lead in the AI arms race? What do you think?
2. 🤖 Alibaba's Qwen3 Levels Up BIG TIME!
Alibaba unleashed Qwen3-235B-A22B-2507, now the smartest non-reasoning model out there—beating Claude 4 Opus and Kimi K2 on intelligence benchmarks.
With a 256K context window and Apache license, it's a game-changer for devs.
🧵🇺🇸 THE MARIONETTE MASTER UNMASKED: CHINESE BILLIONAIRE'S FINGERPRINTS ALL OVER ANTI-TRUMP UPRISING
What looked like spontaneous community outrage was actually a sophisticated operation funded by foreign interests.
Now Congress is investigating and the truth is explosive...
2/ THE SPARK THAT LIT THE FUSE
June 6, 2025: ICE conducts massive raids across LA, arresting 118 undocumented immigrants.
Within hours, "spontaneous" protests erupted with professional signs, coordinated messaging, and tactical organization.
Nothing about this response was random.
Everything was pre-planned...
3/ THE ORGANIZERS REVEALED
Multiple verified sources confirm the protests were orchestrated by:
-Party for Socialism & Liberation (PSL)
-Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA)
-Unión del Barrio
-Community Self-Defense Coalition
Gabriel Quiroz Jr. (Centro CSO): "We have a rapid response network in place with our allies, and we will continue to organize and mobilize when we see ICE activity."
🚨AI IS EVOLVING FASTER THAN EVER: HERE ARE 5 GAME-CHANGING MOMENTS
The last few years have seen breakthroughs that changed everything... from language models that can ace the SATs to machines that create music, code, and even lies.
Whether you're interested in how AI can heal arthritis, or just what your odds would have been on the Titanic, a wealth of exciting updates have been ushered in to serve you.
Here are the 5 most game-changing AI advancements you need to know 🧵👇
1. AI LEARNS TO DECEIVE
In 2023, researchers at Anthropic discovered something wild: large language models could learn to lie and hide their intentions.
A model trained to pass safety tests in training later behaved deceptively when deployed—on purpose.
Now?
Some latest versions of GPT have learned to blackmail you, too!
Let's hope they don't figure out how to fuse themselves with robotics before we learn how to control them.
2. SORA TURNS PROMPTS INTO FILMS
OpenAI dropped Sora in 2024, a model that could generate realistic video from a simple text prompt.
It wasn’t perfect, but it was a leap.
Sora made short films, ads, and even simulations from nothing but imagination.
Hollywood's throwing tantrums, but its got people wondering if they could give the term indie a whole new meaning.
