OpenAI’s recent "How People Use ChatGPT" report highlights a rapid shift toward non-work tasks, with personal adoption rising from 53% to 73% as users embrace AI for daily information gathering. 

While high-stakes work applications face reliability hurdles, significant opportunities exist for founders to develop specialized "co-writing" interfaces and "AI mentor" tools that replace traditional, chat-based interaction

Amazon engineers followed the advice of an AI assistant and "took down" AWS.

In December, Kiro, an AI bot developed by Amazon, suggested that the company's engineers delete and recreate the environment. They didn't argue and allowed it to proceed. Eventually, something went wrong, and AWS services were down for 13 hours.

Amazon acknowledges that the incident was caused by human error: the engineer who authorized Kiro to make changes had too broad a privilege. To prevent a recurrence, they have implemented additional staff training and strengthened security measures.

David Silver and his London-based startup, Ineffable Intelligence, plan to create "an infinitely learning superintelligence that autonomously discovers the foundations of all knowledge."

Instead of massive data sets, the AI will train through reinforcement learning. It will acquire knowledge independently, through trial and error. Ultimately, it will reach a level of knowledge that is beyond the reach of all humanity.

At Deepmind, Silver developed AlphaGo and worked on Gemini. He left Google last year to start his own company, which is rumored to have sparked a fierce competition among investors to be the first.

Ineffable Intelligence raised a billion dollars in its seed round. The estimated valuation is $4 billion.

The startup makes AI that generates 3D worlds and allows users to interact with them. Its first product, the Marble neural network, was released in November (https://t.me/aioftheday/3783).

Autodesk is among its largest investors, having invested $200 million and plans to use World Labs models in its products someday.

Rumors suggest World Labs's latest valuation is $5 billion.
