Nvidia is now the world’s biggest company at a market valuation of US$4.5 trillion, while OpenAI is the world’s largest private tech firm.

The US$100 billion Nvidia-OpenAI virtuous circle has an ugly side

THE BOTTOM LINE

Take Sam Altman’s royal UK visit with a pinch of salt

In less than three years, OpenAI's ChatGPT has amassed more than 700 million weekly users, 99% of whom are individual consumers using free and paid versions of the program.

AI’s path to profits is being driven by consumers

While the new ChatGPT seems colder, it is still failing to recommend users speak to a human.

ChatGPT-5 hasn’t fully fixed its most concerning problem

Meta Platforms bought a 49% stake in Scale AI for US$14.3 billion and hired its chief executive officer, Alexandr Wang (above), to head Mark Zuckerberg’s new Superintelligence Labs division.

Big Tech ‘acquihiring’ is an ugly but useful trend

WhatsApp’s ‘no ads’ promise meets Meta’s reality

 Artificial intelligence (AI) builders are already exploring ways to plug more ads into their products, and while that’s good for their bottom lines, it also means we’re about to see a new chapter in the attention economy that fuelled the Internet.

Ads ruined social media; now they’re coming to AI

Apple says it is actively looking at revamping the Safari Web browser on iPhones and other devices so that instead of offering Google by default, they’ll potentially show other AI tools.

Apple’s wandering eye is good for everyone but Google

No single person should lead a platform for billions of users for more than a decade, never mind more than 20 years, as Zuckerberg has done.

Tech billionaires mired in their reality-distortion fields

For all the buzz, the chatbot is only a prototype along the way to a loftier goal of AGI, or “artificial general intelligence” that surpasses the cognitive abilities of humans.
THE BOTTOM LINE

Tech giants, stop trying to build godlike AI
