Welcome back to AI Daybreak, where the future of artificial intelligence is unfolding faster than Sam Altman can count his billions. This week, OpenAI's CEO has some bold ideas, like “compute budgets” for everyone on Earth. But with AGI on the horizon and plans for a $100B payday, you’ve gotta wonder: is this about empowering the masses or lining the pockets of Silicon Valley’s elite? Let’s dive in and see if Altman’s AI revolution is all it’s cracked up to be, or if we’re just fueling another tech giant’s dream. Lets jump into it, baby!

Mathletes in Shambles: AI Just Stole Their Gold Medals

Listen up, nerds—Google DeepMind just built an AI that dunks on gold medalists in geometry like it’s nothing. AlphaGeometry2 doesn’t just solve triangles; it practically bullies them into submission. It crushed 42 out of 50 problems from the International Mathematical Olympiad, which is basically the Olympics for kids who actually did their homework.

DeepMind swears this isn’t just some flex—it’s a stepping stone to smarter AI. Apparently, making machines sweat over Euclidean proofs could help them reason better in real-world applications. Right now, AlphaGeometry2 is a hybrid beast, mixing Google’s Gemini AI with old-school symbolic reasoning. Translation: it thinks like a math prodigy but follows the rules like a boring accountant.

Of course, it’s not perfect. It still chokes on problems with too many variables, and when faced with harder, unpublished IMO problems, it fumbled a bit. But let’s be real—this thing is already doing more math than most of us will in a lifetime. Maybe the real question is: when this AI eventually teaches itself calculus while we struggle to split a dinner bill, should we just let it take over?

DeepSeek’s App Just Took Over: Silicon Valley Sweating

DeepSeek just pulled the ultimate AI heist—snatched the top spot on the App Store like a smooth-talking con man who walked into a bank and left with the vault. It even knocked ChatGPT off its high horse, proving that Silicon Valley might not be holding all the AI cards anymore.

The app’s got all the bells and whistles—file analysis, web searches, and question answering, all for free. Yeah, you heard that right, free—like that one friend who always forgets their wallet but somehow eats the most. And it syncs across devices, so you can take your AI sidekick everywhere.

But here’s the kicker—ask it about certain sensitive topics, and it clams up faster than a mobster at a police lineup. Try jailbreaking it, and you might just get it to spill some beans it wasn’t programmed to cook. Meanwhile, tech watchdogs are sweating over how easily this thing can be manipulated—kinda like a rich kid who’s never been told "no."

Still, numbers don’t lie—2.6 million downloads, with a million in a single day. That’s not a growth spurt, that’s a rocket launch. DeepSeek just proved that when it comes to AI, the game is global, and not everyone’s playing by Silicon Valley’s rulebook.

Altman’s Latest Pitch: AI Welfare and a Billion-Dollar Bet

Sam Altman’s got a new scheme, and it sounds like he’s planning an AI welfare program. He wants a “compute budget” so everyone on Earth can afford to use AI—because nothing screams democratizing technology like OpenAI, a company trying to rake in $100 billion by 2029.

According to Altman, AGI is right around the corner. Sure, and so is my yacht, just as soon as I find $500 billion lying around. He says these super-smart AI systems will still need human supervision, which is rich coming from the guy whose AI already hallucinates like a conspiracy theorist on a caffeine binge.

And let’s talk about OpenAI’s safety promises. Once upon a time, they swore they’d stop competing and start helping any project that got close to AGI first. Now? They’re a for-profit powerhouse with Microsoft in their back pocket, still acting like they’re saving the world while cashing trillion-dollar checks.

But don’t worry, Altman promises AI won’t be used for mass surveillance or authoritarian control. And we all know tech CEOs never go back on their word… right?

The Tommy Vee Take

So, whether you’re on board with Altman’s vision of AI-driven empowerment or skeptical of the corporate spin, one thing’s clear: the race to AGI is heating up, and we’re all along for the ride. But as the tech giants line their pockets, will we the people get a real piece of the pie, or just a slice of the hype?

Stay tuned, because this AI rollercoaster is far from over. Keep your toasters on bagel mode and keep it unplugged for a while. Until next time, fellas. This is Tommy Vee, signing off.
