Yelp took a while but could not resist going all in on AI, from “search and scroll” into “ask and act.” Quantum computing breakthrough from Google brings super-fast computing closer to us and has also triggered the government to announce its move to take stock in certain companies in the space. Not everything is rosy in the valley; more than 850 petitioners, including AI scholars, business executives, and celebrities, want AI research and deployment to stop before it is too late. We share what is going on in this installment. Let’s dig in and stay curious.

Turn RAG into riches with Delve’s AI for security questionnaires
Hate those endless security questionnaires? We do too. So we hired the sharpest AI brains from Stanford, MIT, and beyond—and made them do your grunt work. Delve uses state-of-the-art agentic RAG, not your average “retrieve + answer” hack. Our agents think ahead: pull evidence, resolve conflicts, reason across your policy graph, interrogate your infrastructure, and draft bullet-proof responses. We’ve helped Lovable, Bland, Micro1, and a ton of the fastest-growing AI companies navigate and close review with almost every F50 - and saved dozens of hours with our AI-native compliance platform.
The Public Demands AI Regulation NowThe call for AI regulation is getting louder. Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio, two of the “godfathers of AI” recognized for their pioneering research, have joined over 850 signatories, including politicians and business leaders, in releasing a statement urging a pause on AI research and deployment until society fully understands its consequences. Their warning centers on the potential rise of a superintelligence that could surpass human capability, threatening not only our jobs and intellect but even our psychological stability and survival. This isn’t the first alarm. Back in 2023, a similar statement was released—signed by figures like Elon Musk (who critics say had his own motives as he lagged in the AI race). Yet despite these repeated calls for caution, AI development and funding have only accelerated since then, pushing humanity faster toward an uncertain frontier.
The public opinion is that Advanced AI should be developed only after confirming that it can be controlled and traded safely. In reality, technologies have never been fully controlled and safe. From the invention of the wheel, which facilitated moving heavy loads but initially created accidents that were not seen before at the time, to the widespread use of the internet and social media, and the repercussions that these developments brought about, some of which we are barely discovering after years of use. From social anxiety, political influence, deepfakes, and hacks, to what we are barely experiencing now with the advent of AI.
On the other hand, most believe that it will continue to be developed quickly with minimal safeguards. There is too much at stake now, and governments are in an AI supremacy battle that they do not what to lose. What we are reading:
Quantum Computing Breakthrough brings the boys (Gov) to the Yard.
Google has made a major leap in quantum computing with its new algorithm, Quantum Echoes, which ran 13,000 times faster than the most powerful classical supercomputer on an equivalent task. The breakthrough, published in Nature, was achieved using Google’s Willow quantum processor and marks a milestone toward practical quantum advantage. The algorithm has potential applications in drug discovery, materials science, and AI modeling, as it can simulate complex molecular interactions previously deemed impossible. While large-scale, error-free quantum computing remains years away, the announcement triggered a rally in quantum stocks like IonQ (+13%), Rigetti (+16%), and D-Wave (+22%), fueled by reports that the U.S. government and JPMorgan Chase may take equity stakes in key quantum firms as part of a new $1.5 trillion national tech initiative. Experts say this signals growing recognition of quantum computing as a strategic national technology, critical to scientific and economic competitiveness. 🧰 AI Tools of The Day
Yelp Goes All AI
Yelp has launched its biggest overhaul in years, introducing 35 AI-powered features that transform it into a conversational, visual, and voice-driven assistant. The new Yelp Assistant can instantly answer any question about local businesses, while Menu Vision uses a phone’s camera to show dish photos and reviews directly from a restaurant menu. Businesses get help too. Yelp Host and Yelp Receptionist handle calls, reservations, and lead collection using generative AI voices. The update integrates LLMs across Yelp’s entire stack, enabling natural language and voice search, personalized recommendations, and visual insights like Popular Offerings and AI-stitched videos. With two decades of human review data, Yelp’s redesign shifts it from a simple directory into the first AI-native local discovery platform, turning “search and scroll” into “ask and act.” 🧰 AI Guides
