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.

This robot can do real work.

Imagine this in a commercial laundry (hotel, hospital, or retirement home) or retail laundromat folding clothes for customers.

It could replace lots of jobs soon.

Boston Dynamics wearable robot features arms with 24 degrees of freedom. These robotic arms can effortlessly lift up to 200 pounds. With their assistance, a single person is capable of transporting a missile!

Altman: movies are going to become much more like video games as AI video matures.

Googles new 27B-model predicted a new potential cancer therapy for the first time: it discovered that the drug silmitasertib (CX-4945) only enhances antigen presentation under certain immune conditions, in other words, it can make tumors more “visible” to the immune system. This hypothesis was confirmed experimentally.

"C2S-Scale generated a novel hypothesis about cancer cellular behavior and we have since confirmed its prediction with experimental validation in living cells. This result provides a blueprint for a new kind of biological discovery — predictive models of cellular behavior powerful enough to discover context-conditioned biology and generate biologically-grounded hypotheses."

It can't be much longer until every cancer will be fully treatable.

Is AI replacing US jobs?

Since June 2023, the largest increase in unemployment has occurred in occupations with the lowest exposure to AI, rising by +0.8 percentage points.

At the same time, professions with the highest exposure to automation from AI have seen an increase of +0.7 percentage points. This is followed by a +0.4 percentage point rise in fields with the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th lowest exposure to AI.

This indicates that while AI may be contributing to the labor market slowdown, it is not the main driver. When cracks appear in the job market, new hires are often the first to feel the pain, which is the case this time.

Labor market weakness is only partially due to AI.

Pavel Durov unveils Cocoon — a decentralized AI compute network

Cocoon is a new platform designed to handle AI computations through a distributed network of GPUs, eliminating the need for large centralized servers.

Here’s how it works:
- GPU owners connect their machines to Cocoon and contribute computing power.
- AI developers send processing tasks to the network.
- The system automatically assigns these tasks to available GPUs.
- Contributors are rewarded in TON for every completed job.

The standout feature of Cocoon is data privacy, all information is encrypted, ensuring no participant can view the contents of a request. In essence, it’s private AI infrastructure secured by the TON blockchain. Telegram will be the first major adopter, planning to route its AI-related operations through Cocoon to promote both privacy and network adoption.

In short:
- GPU providers earn TON tokens.
- Developers gain affordable, secure compute power.
- Users benefit from fast, private AI performance.

The AI job crisis is real

The U.K. is facing a severe Gen Z job crisis: around 1.2 million graduates are competing for just 17,000 available entry-level positions, the worst ratio since the late 1990s.

AI automation and hiring freezes have wiped out many entry-level roles, while universities keep producing degrees misaligned with market needs—leaving thousands of young workers stranded between education and employment.

XPENG came out of nowhere and is taking the market by storm: two robots run in perfect sync!

In China, autonomous vehicles are already ubiquitous, relieving people of the last mile. This also allows for the continued generation of massive amounts of data for even better autonomous driving.

In Germany and across Europe, however, the focus remains on discussion and the creation of new regulations; essentially, there is stagnation. Europe could never catch up, even if they started today.

Musk Predicts Optional Work Future

Elon Musk predicted at the U.S.–Saudi Investment Forum that within 10–20 years, work will become optional thanks to widespread automation and humanoid robots, creating a post-scarcity world where money may lose relevance.

Economists agree full automation is the long-term direction but say Musk’s timeline is unrealistic due to slow robotics adoption, high costs, and the massive political and social challenges of supporting billions of people without traditional jobs.
