Ilya Sutskever helped prove that scale works in AI. Now he says it doesn't—and his $3 billion company is betting the future belongs to researchers with ideas, not labs with the biggest GPU clusters. The industry isn't ready for this argument.
Silicon Valley promised AI would democratize creativity. New research tracking 442 participants found the opposite: people who were more creative without AI produced better work with it. The gap didn't close. It may have widened.
Enterprises are spending billions on AI pilots, but MIT's research shows most deliver no return. It's not the technology failing. The gap between impressive demos and working systems comes down to data quality, technical debt, and organizational readiness.
Media warnings about the AI bubble are growing louder. History shows these alarms usually arrive late, often after crashes begin. But cloud giants are absorbing AI startups into subscription ecosystems. This time looks different, less spectacular burst, more slow deflation.
Perplexity's Comet promised to tame email chaos. It drafted bland responses to critical messages and returned dead LinkedIn links. Not alone—AI agents keep failing basic tasks while investors cheer. Tests reveal systematic gaps between pitch and reality.
AI adoption stalls for lack of trained workers, not technology. While businesses wait for a manual that never arrives, China teaches AI skills from elementary school onward. The real gap isn't algorithms—it's who learns to work alongside them.
Think AI is replacing workers? The reality is more ironic: humans labor behind the scenes to build AI meant to replace them. The gap between hype and reality reveals uncomfortable truths about innovation, investment bubbles, and the actual human cost of chasing artificial intelligence dreams.
Coursera courses now live inside ChatGPT—world-class instructors summoned mid-conversation. No app switching, no browser tabs. EU users blocked by privacy laws while Wall Street bets big on AI-powered education. The learning shortcut arrived, but not for everyone.
AI trading agent Milo turned $200 into $494 in one day—a 147% gain. Was it skill or just pure luck? The crypto community is split: some see breakthrough AI, others see overhyped chatbots following scripts. The answer will help shape all of AI's future.
A 23-year-old ex-OpenAI researcher just raised $1.5B predicting AGI by 2027—with zero investment experience. History shows fever dreams burn billions while real breakthroughs start small. Are we watching the next Amazon or the next Theranos?
Switzerland's new open-source AI model Apertus tackles what kills 95% of AI projects: lack of transparency. Full visibility into code and training data promises to solve bias, compliance headaches, and corporate trust issues.
Despite massive AI hype, 95% of enterprise projects deliver no real returns. The gap between promises and reality reveals hidden costs, workflow mismatches, and why human oversight remains surprisingly essential.
Gen Z flocks to blue-collar jobs as white-collar hiring plummets—but is AI really to blame? Switzerland's data suggests the real culprit might be our obsession with university degrees. The countries pushing everyone toward college show worse youth employment.
