outh Korean company WIRobotics unveiled ALLEX, a general-purpose humanoid robot with low-friction backdrivable arms and human-like hands.

Each hand features 15 DOF, supports lifting over 30 kg, and delivers more than 40 N at the fingertips. South Korea is really punching above its weight - in anti aging, in robotics, in biotech/cancer research. Extremely useful people.

It won't be long before robots are widely used in the world of labor as labor forces .

🚀 GPT-5 just did real math nobody had solved before

Turns out GPT-5 isn’t just spitting out essays — it actually cracked an open problem in probability theory.

• Mathematicians knew that certain random sums eventually behave like a normal distribution. The mystery? How fast does that convergence happen.
• Nobody had nailed down a precise answer — until GPT-5, nudged along by experts, filled the gap.
• It delivered the first clean quantitative rate for convergence, not just for Gaussian cases but also Poisson ones.

Of course, it wasn’t perfect — GPT-5 made plenty of mistakes. But with feedback, it corrected itself, proved the result, and even drafted a paper-level writeup.

GPT-5 acted less like a calculator and more like a junior researcher.

2026 will be the year of humanoid robots.

Elon Musk: if 10x compute ≈ 2x intelligence, AI is on a Kardashev trajectory, harvesting the sun and then the galaxy.

For now, he predicts:
- 2026: AI smarter than any single human
- 2030: AI smarter than sum of all humans

Meanwhile, human intelligence stagnates as birth rates fall.

Grok cleared for use across US Government Agencies.

➤ xAI has struck an agreement to make Grok available to U.S. federal agencies via procurement through the General Services Administration (GSA).

➤ Federal agencies will be able to purchase access to Grok for $0.42 per organization.

➤ This price is lower than what some competitors charge: for instance, OpenAI charges about $1 per year for federal access to ChatGPT.

➤ The move is part of a broader push to embed advanced AI tools deeper into U.S. government operations, especially in defense and national security roles via programs like “Grok for Government.”

➤ Already, the U.S. Department of Defense has awarded contracts (up to $200 million ceilings) to xAI.

Eric Schmidt on America, AI, and the Race for the Future.

Says China has effectively solved power supply and is ahead in electricity production. In the US, data centers need about 92 gigawatt more capacity, with almost no new nuclear projects. If power stays short, frontier AI training may shift to energy-rich foreign partners.

🗣 Ilya Sutskever on Comparing AI Systems to Biological & Human Intelligence.

He explains the brain’s adaptability, where children with half their brain removed still function well. And another experiment shows sensory inputs can remap to different brain regions.

i.e. that cortical structures are highly uniform, reused across functions, similar to DNA and protein encoding.

This suggests that intelligence relies on a general, repeatable architecture, and the idea that AI can mirror biological systems.

🔔 Accenture cuts 11,000 jobs as AI takes over consulting

Accenture says it can’t retrain everyone fast enough for the new AI-driven skills consulting now demands.

CEO Julie Sweet said employees whose jobs can’t be matched with new AI skills will be let go quickly.

"This change is so big, this is reversing five decades of how we're working."

The cuts are part of an $865 million restructuring program, expected to generate $1 billion in savings—money that will be reinvested in AI and workforce development.

Accenture’s stock fell 2.7% on the layoff news, then rebounded 2.8% the next day—now nearly back to pre-announcement.

The biggest private company valuations of the world are now ruled by AI and tech.

OpenAI is first at $500B, SpaceX second at $400B, and ByteDance third at $300B.
