Every AI CEO has a different AGI timeline and none of them agree on the definition either. Musk said last year. Dario says next year. Altman says we already passed it.

DeepSeek’s rise is exposing something important about the AI race.

OpenAI leads in ecosystem.

🏠 GOOGLE’S SMART HOME STRATEGY IS FINALLY STARTING TO MAKE SENSE

For years, Google Home felt like a product that Google had quietly given up on. That’s no longer the case and this week’s update is further proof that something has shifted inside the company
