GM! Welcome to Get Into AI.
I’m your favorite plumber - fixing your mental pipe clogs with fresh AI news.
Here’s what I have for today:
Musk vs Altman: The $97B Takeover Drama 💳
AI Making Us Lazy Thinkers? Scientists Say Maybe 🔮
Saudi's Big Bet on AI Chips 💪
Let’s dive in!
Three major headlines
Three main stories for the day.
Elon Musk tried to pull the "biggest uno reverse card in tech history" by attempting to buy OpenAI for $97.4B.
Sam Altman's response? A savage tweet offering to buy Twitter (now X) for $9.74B - a clear jab at Musk's original Twitter purchase.
Musk called him a "Swindler" in return, and honestly, this is better than any Netflix drama I've watched lately.
Why this matters: This isn't just billionaires being billionaires - it's a power struggle to control one of the most influential AI companies.
With Musk now heading a government efficiency department under Trump and OpenAI partnering with Oracle and SoftBank for a $500B venture, the stakes are higher than ever.
Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon researchers found that when we use AI at work, we're becoming professional fact-checkers instead of creative thinkers.
It's like going to the gym but only watching other people work out - your mental muscles aren't getting any stronger.
The kicker? People who trust AI too much think even less critically.
Who would've thought letting robots do our thinking might make us worse at... thinking?
Saudi Arabia just dropped $1.5B on U.S. chip startup Groq, showing they're serious about that whole "moving beyond oil" thing.
The company plans to expand its data center in Dammam and develop a bilingual AI model called Allam.
Think of it as Saudi Arabia saying, "We're not just about black gold anymore - we want some of that silicon gold too!"
🐤Tweet of the day
no thank you but we will buy twitter for $9.74 billion if you want
