🔬 OPENAI Joins the Frontlines of Nuclear Security

The U.S. is handing AI the keys to its most sensitive research. And OpenAI is leading the charge.

This week, OpenAI announced a partnership with U.S. National Labs, giving 15,000 government scientists access to its most advanced AI models for nuclear security and beyond.

The details:
✅ Researchers will use OpenAI’s models for cybersecurity, power grid protection, disease treatment, and physics.
✅ OpenAI will deploy AI on Los Alamos' Venado supercomputer, teaming up with Microsoft.
✅ Security-cleared OpenAI researchers will assist in weapons safety and nuclear war risk reduction.
✅ The move follows the launch of ChatGPT Gov, OpenAI’s specialized AI for U.S. federal agencies.

Why does this matter?

AI is becoming a cornerstone of national security, embedding itself into the U.S.'s most classified research and defense systems. OpenAI is positioning itself at the heart of this shift.

And if AI’s scientific power evolves as expected, it won’t just be a government priority—it will be a global necessity

📞 Google AI Takes Your Calls—So You Don’t Have To

Hate making phone calls? Google’s AI just got your back.

Google unveiled two new experimental features that handle calls for you, making life easier for anyone who dreads dialing.

What’s new?

📞 Ask for Me – Need a price quote or appointment? Google’s AI will call local businesses, ask the questions, and send you the info within 30 minutes.
⌛ Talk to a Live Representative – Tired of waiting on hold? Google’s AI will stay on the line and notify you when a real person picks up.

How does it work?

Both features use Google's Duplex AI, which mimics natural speech to handle calls smoothly.

Why should I care?

With younger generations avoiding phone calls and businesses shifting to AI-driven support, we’re heading toward a future where AIs are just talking to… other AIs.

Would you use this? 👀
