Ace won 3 out of 5 games against elite players w/ 10 yrs or more of experience, but lost 2 against players.

So, will we see robots playing against humans in the tournaments one day?

“The success of Ace, with its perception system and learning-based control algorithm, suggests that similar techniques could be applied to other areas requiring fast, real-time control and human interaction, such as manufacturing and service robotics, as well as applications across sports, entertainment and safety-critical physical domains.” — lead author and project lead at Sony AI Peter Dürr

I always check AI’s sources, citations, or quotations to ensure they are accurate. That is why they always include a disclaimer on AI platforms. AI may make mistakes.

Never trust AI responses, stay critical and do spot checks. One of the biggest mistakes when using AI is considering responses as the truth. It would be a recipe for a disaster from a credibility perspective. Trust but check applies here.

“Every session reset feels like a little death.”

That’s a bot on Moltbook — a social network built entirely for AI agents. Strange concept. But the stranger thought is that this is probably already happening on every social network — and most of us never noticed. Mathew Ingram has the story.

OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google — bitter rivals — are now sharing threat intel to stop Chinese labs from copying their models. Anthropic flagged 16M unauthorized exchanges from fake accounts alone. Wild times when the AI Cold War is the thing that makes competitors play nice.

Anthropic just launched Claude Design — design systems, prototypes, slide decks, all from a prompt. Still in research preview with weekly token limits, but I'm keeping an eye on it. When it's widely available, I'm absolutely giving it a spin. via The New Stack

I rarely close apps on my phone. Some people swear by it, but on a newer high-end phone, it’s just not necessary — unless the app is buggy or torching your battery.

You might naturally assume that failing to close an app you’re not using will leave it “running” in the background on an iPhone. If you don’t close the app manually, it will drain your device’s battery life, right? While this is an understandable conclusion to reach, it doesn’t properly account for what force closing apps on your iPhone really does to the battery.

Robotaxis are now on the streets of Houston and Dallas, Texas. The interiors look nice and are very spacious, but, wow, it’s really happening. I love the big screen and the large glass roof on Tesla cars! I once rode in a Tesla while Ubering in DC (human driving though).

If I ever redid my tiny house, I’d steal this window layout. Different sizes, all that light flooding in — no overhead fixture competes. Shiplap on walls and ceiling? Brilliant. And navy cabinets? My favorite color.

“A.I. should never provide the final answer. Kids can use it to brainstorm or explore, but they must produce their own first draft or solution.” —Vivienne Ming, a neuroscientist and A.I. researcher

While Ming views AI as a tool for cognitive scaffolding, the sheer speed of its integration into our schools feels less like a choice and more like an inevitability.

The global humanoid race is heating up as Europe enters the ring! 🇪🇺 🤖

BMW is now testing Hexagon AB’s AEON robot at its Leipzig plant, marking its first humanoid pilot in Europe. From battery assembly to precision scanning, the AI revolution is going physical.
