Today’s Pulse on AI dives into OpenAI’s culture shift toward growth and ads—potentially leveraging ChatGPT’s Memory—plus Sora’s moderation challenges and Sam Altman’s warning about “strange or scary moments.” We unpack a BBC-led study finding major inaccuracies in AI news summaries, the massive AI data center build-out and its environmental trade-offs, and Xataka’s week-long test of the Hypershell X Pro exoskeleton. We cover pragmatic career strategies for the AI era, how to tell durable ARR from hype in AI startups, a toy study on optimal model size vs. data under fixed compute, the ransomware confidence gap amid AI-driven attacks, decentralized efforts to detect deepfakes, Germany’s push to level rules for platforms and media, and how Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, and TIDAL use AI to surface new music. Three takeaways: prioritize trust and transparency, favor practical AI with measurable ROI, and chase efficiency across models and infrastructure.
