My Comments on Today’s AI News – 04/08/2025

We’re getting way too used to the idea that artificial intelligence is only for rich kids, bold investors, and startups mushrooming in the undergrowth of creative finance. But once in a while, a project stands out by refusing to compromise. That’s the case with #Krea: two founders who turned down scholarships from the King of Spain to build a creative AI platform from scratch—no shortcuts, no labels. Today, they’re holding $83 million and building a system that integrates audio and enterprise services into one creative powerhouse. Not a toy for techies, but a bold idea now valued at half a billion dollars. Info Everyone’s talking about AI regulation, but in the US, major publishers are actually doing something about it. Hundreds of news outlets have launched a nationwide campaign to stop what they call “AI theft.” This isn’t just theory—it’s action: they’re demanding legislation to protect original content from being fed to large language models without permission. And it’s not just about money. It’s a cultural battle. Whoever controls the news today, shapes how reality will be told tomorrow. Info The big tech narrative is getting predictable: every time someone raises a concern, the answer is always the same—“It’s not true.” #Meta’s GenAI chief Ahmad Al-Dahle responded to claims that #LLaMA4 was trained on test sets to boost benchmark scores with no transparency and no evidence—just a tweet saying: “That’s simply false.” But if we just take their word for it every time, what’s the point of talking about ethics? Info In the hyper-connected, over-cooled world of innovation, the hottest news comes from a device inspired by a cold-blooded creature. At the #UniversityOfMissouri, researchers developed a starfish-shaped wearable that detects heart issues with 90% accuracy—thanks to AI-powered sensors. It’s not a miracle cure, but it brings us closer—tech that serves real life, real bodies, real hearts. The most human side of digital. Info
