STOCK MARKET
😑 AI stocks had a mixed day of trading on Monday with gains at the start of the session fading into the close. Chairman Powell remained stubborn in his stance that there will likely only be one interest rate cut before year-end, which could result in a repricing of assets. Learn more.

AGI
Our Report: According to leaked internal documentation and information from an insider, OpenAI is working on a new model that has human-like reasoning capabilities under the code name “Project Strawberry” (which is a tightly kept secret, even within OpenAI).
🔑 Key Points:
Project Strawberry is reportedly being trained to “navigate the internet autonomously” and undertake “deep research”—independently, without being told to do so by the user—to solve complex problems.
Because it can undertake “deep research”, it’s believed that Project Strawberry will serve up fewer hallucinations, as models like ChatGPT often resort to making up information when they lack training data.
Experts think that Project Strawberry uses a Self-Taught Reasoner (STaR) method which means it improves itself by learning from its own reasoning, meaning it could reach better-than-human intelligence, over time.
🤔 Why you should care: Although it’s unknown if Project Strawberry will launch with the upcoming GPT-5 (which is believed to be as intelligent as someone with a PhD), this news comes after concerning reports from ex-OpenAI employees revealed that OpenAI continuously prioritizes new launches over safety, and after multiple OpenAI employees wrote a letter to the board warning of a new AI breakthrough that “could threaten humanity.”

Together with Incogni
You’ve likely received a sketchy call, text, or email asking for $$.
It might've been easy to spot, but with deepfakes and AI, scams are getting trickier. Scammers use your personal data, often bought legally from data brokers who sell your cell number, DOB, SSN, and more.
Incogni scrubs your data from the web, taking on 175+ data brokers for you. Unlike others, Incogni eliminates your info from all broker types, including people search sites where anyone can purchase your details for a few bucks.

ENVIRONMENT
Our Report: Environmentalist, Micheal Thomas, has conducted a detailed analysis into the amount of energy Google and Microsoft are consuming, thanks to their advancements in AI.
🔑 Key Points:
His findings show that Google and Microsoft each consumed 24 TWh of electricity during 2023, which is more than 100 individual countries consumed, including Iceland, Tunisia Azerbaijan, and Ghana.
To put this into perspective, Iceland, Ghana, the Dominican Republic, and Tunisia consumed 19 TWh of electricity last year and Jordan consumed 20 TWh, highlighting the huge energy requirements of AI.
He also found that (Microsoft-backed) OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini, are increasing greenhouse gas emissions, as one query using these chatbots requires 10X the electricity of a traditional Google Search query.
🤔 Why you should care: The downside to the rapid advancement of AI is clearly the damaging effect it’s having on the environment, and although Google and Microsoft have pledged to become carbon-free or carbon-negative by the end of the decade, more needs to be done, as these two companies are the world’s fourth and second-most valuable companies, respectively: They make more than a lot of countries, but at what cost?
Are the advancements in AI worth the damaging effect it’s having on the environment? |

AI SEARCH
❌ Google pulls back AI feature
After Google launched its AI Overviews feature (which displays AI summaries in response to search queries) users found it often gave misleading and dangerous information, like adding glue to pizza sauce.
As a result, Google appears to have reduced its visibility: AI Overviews only appear in 7% of queries (it was 11%) and when it does show, it’s 13% smaller, taking up less real estate on search pages.
Google is also citing Reddit and Quora less (as they feature humorous, unreliable, and satirical information, which skews results) and the feature only shows with “Best,” “What is,” “How to,” and “Symptoms of” queries.
MUSIC
🎵 YouTube copies Shazam and Spotify
YouTube Music is launching two new AI features to boost song discovery: An AI-generated conversational radio feature, and a Shazam-like tool to help users find songs by singing, humming, or playing parts of it.
The AI-radio conversational feature (available to select Premium users in the US) allows users to create a custom radio station by describing what they want to hear eg. “catchy pop songs” or “upbeat rock anthems.”
It’s similar to the AI playlist generation tools that Spotify, Amazon Music, and Deezer (as of this week) have launched, which generate playlists based on user prompts to give a more personalized experience.
