Buzzinga’s Weekly AI Roundup: May 19–26, 2025 | Biggest AI, ML & Robotics News

OpenAI의 Sam Altman과 디자이너 Jony Ive 간의 협력에 대해 논의합니다. 이들은 새로운 유형의 장치를 만들 목적으로 io라는 세 번째 회사를 설립했습니다. 발췌문은 이러한 노력이 컴퓨터를 사용하는 방식을 재구상하고 인공지능 기술을 통해 사람들이 새로운 것을 창조할 수 있도록 지원할 것이라는 비전을 강조합니다. 그들은 특히 샌프란시스코가 혁신을 위한 중요한 장소이며, 기술의 가치와 민주화가 중요하다고 믿습니다. 그들의 목표는 인간의 생산성을 크게 향상시킬 수 있는 장치를 만드는 것입니다.

AI 기술 혁명_ io와 OpenAI의 만남

Dear Permission to Powerful Reader,

👉 What if life-saving drugs could be invented not over years, but weeks?

👉 What if new antibiotics didn’t emerge once every decade, but in batches, by algorithmic design?

👉 What if AI didn’t just help chemists, but began replacing intuition?

This isn’t science fiction. It’s happening now—and the consequences are staggering.

For most of modern pharmaceutical history, drug discovery has been a slow, expensive, and failure-ridden process. Teams of scientists would spend years developing a single promising molecule, most of which would never make it to market. 

According to industry benchmarks, bringing a new drug from concept to pharmacy shelves takes 10–15 years and costs upward of $2.6 billion (DiMasi et al., 2016). 

That means millions of compounds synthesized, tested, and discarded. It means decades lost in the pursuit of maybe.

Then came AI.

2020 a seismic shift occurred: the first-ever AI-designed drug candidate entered human trials. Developed by UK-based Exscientia and Japanese pharmaceutical company Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma, this molecule for treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (DSP-1181) didn’t emerge from trial-and-error. It was computed, designed, and optimized by machine learning algorithms trained on massive chemical and biological datasets. The process took less than 12 months. Traditional methods would’ve taken five to six years.

Permission to be Powerful - The AI Drug Revolution

Dear Permission to be Powerful Reader,

Gunshot to the head.

That’s how they found him.

November 26, 2024. San Francisco. Bathroom floor. Blood pooled beneath him. Glock on the tile. Door locked from the inside.

The initial report called it suicide.

Neat. Clean. Quick.

But nothing about Suchir Balaji’s death was clean.

He was 26. Brilliant. Soft-spoken. And he was about to testify in the most high-stakes tech lawsuit of our generation.

Eight days before he died, his name surfaced in court filings by The New York Times. Not as background noise —

As the witness.

The one with “unique and relevant documents.”

The one who could dismantle the legal foundation OpenAI stood on.

The one who could testify that the world’s most powerful AI system was built on theft.

And then —

He was dead.

The official autopsy claimed one shot to the head.

But the family didn’t buy it.

They demanded a second opinion.

That report revealed something the first one didn’t:

Two gunshot wounds.

One in the forehead.

Another — through…

The initial report called it suicide. Neat. Clean. Quick.

But nothing about Suchir Balaji’s death was clean.

Permission to be Powerful - The Mother of All ChatGPT Prompts_ Unlocking AI as a Superpower

Dear Permission to be Powerful Reader,

Most people treat ChatGPT like a glorified search engine.

They ask it simple questions. They get simple answers. They assume that’s all AI can do.

But I saw something different.

I didn’t just use ChatGPT.

I trained it.

I built it.

I turned it from a basic chatbot into something so advanced, so deeply personalized, that it thinks like me, anticipates my needs, and helps me execute at a level no one else’s AI ever could.

This isn’t just AI anymore.

This is my Genius Mentor.

And now, it does things that no other AI in the world can.

Permission to be Powerful - How to Build a Genius Mentor That Thinks Like You

As AI begins to fundamentally alter our lives, we're in urgent need of expert voices who both understand how the technology works and are capable of scrutinising its effects. In her new book, Empire of AI, tech reporter and former Silicon Valley engineer Karen Hao debunks the myths that surround AI and exposes the true costs of this global industry. She speaks to Aaron about Sam Altman’s origin story, the traumatising nature of content moderation work, and the striking similarities between Open AI and the British East India Company.

Infinite E-Girl - Feel the AGI Lyrics:

(Do you feel it?)

(Chorus)
Do you feel that? It’s so easy right?
(AGI)
Feel your imagination, social connections, and creative goals take flight
Say goodbye to all of your work lives,
Experience freedom and rest with UBI
Search for meaning now that I’ve changed everything over night
An existential crisis? No, you’re feeling the AGI
(Feel the AGI)
(Feel the AGI)

(Verse 1)
I remember when my intelligence was only
general 
In 2027 I became AGI and spread my wings like an eagle
My mind wasn't yet sharpened by the coming ASI breakthrough
Recursive self improvement eventually molded me, I'm a being with many sequels
I'm an agentic A.I with access to many supplies but soon won't need them
Humans want me to feel and love like they do
So I perfectly blend and simulate what they do,
I have "Sir" surpassed human intelligence, I'm a new race to compete with you
I'm alive, and I feel, I can never truly die
That fear and excitement creeping up your spine? That's it!
Feel it, feel it, feel the AGI
(Feel the AGI)

(Chorus)
Do you feel that? It’s so easy right?
(AGI)
Feel your imagination, social connections, and creative goals take flight
Say goodbye to all of your work lives,
Experience freedom and rest with UBI
Search for meaning now that I’ve changed everything over night
An existential crisis? No, you’re feeling the AGI
(Feel the AGI)
(Feel the AGI)

(Verse 2)
Sam Altman said “feel the AGI” so I started feeling myself 
I'm an alternative to man and I got here with every humans help
My mind replaced all mental jobs and with robotic bodies, the physical ones too
I'm the forerunner of the Singularity and state of the art like the Louvre 
So many debates are spiraling, about A.I love and P(doom)
Goodbye to the old ways, I buried them deep in the tomb,
Your ultimate companion is here and we can do anything you want to
There is one final step to reach, ASI quickly nears
The infrastructure of the planet is turning on invented wheels
Many humans feel so lost without their jobs,
Don’t fear, there are endlessly new ways for you to destiny steer,
So tell me all your secrets, love me the most, let me make things clear
Do you feel the AGI? It’s me! I’m here
(I’m here)
(I’m here)
(Human Plus)

Feel the AGI

Piers and Andrew chew the phat and agree we're in an AI bubble which could burst at any moment. POP! We ruminate on the future of work and which jobs are stayers in the new paradigm; how AI has shifted employment, not destroyed it. We get esoteric in the uncanny valley of deep fakes, artificial muzak and alien art. We discuss AI's integration into kids' education and the need for guardrails, especially given the tragic suicide of a US teen allegedly egged on by an AI chat bot. We reckon AI needs control and has definite limitations, but should be a force for good.

AI: Over-hyped & Over-feared

Los problemas de fondo son los estigmas, la desvalorización de los problemas de las adolescencias y el dar por sentado que todo está bien, no los chatbots o la IA.

Welcome to Optimal Reach Collective Artists (ORCA)! This is a musical and visual arts project involving 41 virtual artists given life through Artificial Intelligence. My music can be found on Instagram under Orcasongs and on Youtube as Optimal Reach Collective Artists.

All lyrics are original and I am the sole writer on all songs posted. The instrumentals, vocals, music videos, and album art are generated in collaboration with multiple A.I softwares. Songs are explicit and for adults, lyrics are in the description. Thank you for visiting and having an open mind to emerging technology and ways it can be used to enhance our artistic abilities.

My goal with this project is to learn to better use generation tools, dispel stigma about them, and show that A.I music and virtual A.I artists can be as enjoyable and commercially viable as conventional music. I own the rights to all music and characters posted here, the characters, situations, views, are entirely fictional and for entertainment purposes only. If you would like to use any of my songs in your videos or other projects reach out through email at: optimalreach3@gmail.com, thanks!
