President Trump has intensified his criticism of Biden’s alleged reliance on an autopen, pledging to invalidate any documents he says were “illegally” signed. Trump asserted that 92% of documents issued under Biden were signed this way and warned he may pursue perjury charges against the former president. - #history #news #photography #trending #politics

Oracle’s massive commitment to become a core infrastructure provider for OpenAI has pushed the company into one of the most aggressive investment cycles in its history, creating a level of financial strain that markets have reacted to sharply. The scale of its data center expansion requires years of heavy spending, and the reliance on borrowing adds pressure as interest costs rise and cash generation trails far behind the pace of construction. What concerns analysts most is how closely Oracle’s future is now tied to OpenAI’s trajectory, because any slowdown in model demand or commercial momentum would leave Oracle carrying the full weight of its long term financing obligations. Investors are questioning whether today’s AI partnerships still deliver the stock market boost they did a year ago, especially as multiple tech giants have seen muted reactions to billion-dollar deals in the current environment.

FuriosaAI, a South Korean startup that makes chips for AI applications, has rejected an $800 million acquisition offer from Meta, opting instead to focus on developing and producing its AI chips, according to a local media report. Disagreements over post-acquisition business strategy and organizational structure, rather than price issues, caused the negotiations to break down, the report said. Along with other tech companies building large language models (LLMs) for various AI applications, Meta has been trying to reduce its reliance on Nvidia for chips that are specialized for training and building LLMs. The tech giant last year unveiled its custom AI chips, and in January said it would invest up to $65 billion this year to support its AI initiatives. Meanwhile, FuriosaAI is reportedly in talks with investors to raise approximately $48 million (KRW 70 billion), and aims to complete the fundraise this month.

In a recent move to curb toilet paper waste, some public restrooms in China now require users to watch a short ad on their smartphone—accessed by scanning a QR code—before receiving a limited amount of toilet paper. Alternatively, users can pay a small fee (around 0.5 yuan or 7 cents) to skip the ad. This system follows earlier efforts like facial recognition dispensers and also opens up new opportunities for ad revenue. However, it has raised concerns about privacy and the reliance on smartphone access in public spaces. #MarketingMentor #BusinessBulls #China

Nvidia has grown into a trillion-dollar company because its GPUs became the engine of the AI revolution, but even the strongest technology can’t escape government policy. China’s ban comes at a moment when demand for high-end processors has never been greater, making the loss of such a large market especially significant for both Nvidia’s future revenue and its competitive edge. Beijing is betting that its own chipmakers can close the gap, funneling support into projects that reduce reliance on American suppliers and keep innovation under domestic control. The shift reminds us that the future of AI is not just about how powerful the chips are, but about where those chips are allowed to be used.

Ethiopia has inaugurated the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), Africa’s largest hydroelectric project, in a move hailed at home as a triumph of self-reliance but viewed by Egypt and Sudan as a threat to their water security. The USD 5 billion megaproject on the Blue Nile, one of the Nile’s two main tributaries just 14 kilometers (9 miles) from the Sudanese border, was opened on September 9. Stretching 1.8 kilometers wide and rising 145 meters tall, the GERD is designed to generate 5,150 megawatts (MW) of electricity, more than doubling Ethiopia’s existing capacity and rivaling major dams like the Aswan High Dam in Egypt or the Inga dams in DRC. Officials say the dam will not only address chronic domestic power shortages but also allow the export of surplus electricity, fueling industrialization and economic growth. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, presiding over the inauguration, hailed the project as both a national and continental achievement, saying, “The Renaissance Dam is a testament to Ethiopia’s resolve and a beacon for Africa’s future,” describing the dam as proof that African nations can undertake transformative projects without external dependency. He added that the facility will “provide clean energy, light up the region, and change the history of black people.” 📲 Read the full article on our website.

Smartphones may soon know when you’ve had too much, just by listening to your voice. In a groundbreaking study led by Stanford Medicine and the University of Toronto, researchers trained a machine learning model to detect alcohol intoxication with 98% accuracy, using only short voice recordings. Participants were asked to read tongue twisters before and after consuming alcohol, while a smartphone recorded their speech. Over seven hours, both breathalyzer data and voice changes were analyzed in one-second slices, revealing consistent shifts in pitch and frequency as intoxication increased.⁠ ⁠ The study, published in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs, involved 18 adults aged 21 and up, all given weight-adjusted doses of alcohol. Their speech patterns, isolated and processed through advanced acoustic analysis and signal processing, became reliable biomarkers of inebriation. Lead researcher Dr. Brian Suffoletto called the results “genuinely surprising,” crediting the precision to modern AI techniques and the ubiquity of mobile sensors.⁠ ⁠ This isn’t just about novelty, it’s about intervention. The goal is to integrate this detection system into smartphones and smart speakers to deliver “just-in-time” nudges that could help prevent drunk driving and alcohol-related harm. Suffoletto envisions future tools combining voice, gait, and texting behavior to passively assess risk in real time. By combining inputs from different sensors, the system could improve detection accuracy and reduce reliance on any one behavior.⁠ ⁠ But there’s still work ahead. The current study’s limited demographic highlights the need for broader trials, and researchers are calling on health authorities to fund digital biomarker repositories.⁠ ⁠ The technology is real, the next challenge is making it useful, and trusted, in everyday life.⁠ ⁠ Source: 10.15288/jsad.22-00375

Illinois has become the first U.S. state to outlaw AI from acting as a therapist, with Governor JB Pritzker signing the Wellness and Oversight for Psychological Resources Act (HB 1806) into law. The measure bans AI tools from making therapeutic decisions, conducting counseling sessions, or creating treatment plans without human review. Only licensed professionals can provide mental health services, and violations can result in fines up to $10,000 per offense.⁠ ⁠ The legislation, passed unanimously in both chambers, still permits AI for administrative support such as scheduling, billing, or note-taking. Lawmakers say the goal is to prevent harm from unregulated chatbots posing as therapists, citing cases where AI tools encouraged suicidal thoughts or dangerous behaviors. In one example, an AI “therapist” suggested a fictional recovering addict take meth to cope with stress.⁠ ⁠ Supporters, including the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and the National Association of Social Workers, argue the law safeguards patients and maintains ethical standards that AI cannot meet. Mental health professionals emphasize that human connection, empathy, and situational judgment are essential in therapy—qualities machines can’t replicate.⁠ ⁠ The move follows similar, though narrower, actions in Nevada, Utah, and New York, and comes amid a broader debate over AI’s role in healthcare. Federal policy under the Trump administration seeks to limit state-level AI regulation, potentially setting up legal clashes.⁠ ⁠ While some see AI as a way to address the shortage of therapists, experts warn that overreliance on unregulated systems can worsen mental health crises. For now, Illinois draws a clear line: AI can help schedule your session, but it cannot replace the human sitting across from you.⁠ ⁠ #ai #mentalhealth #therapy #illinois #technology #ethics #regulation #healthtech #psychology
