Mid-Week Team, Straight out of a sci-fi story, you can now buy a synthetic brain, just in case LLMs are not enough. The race to build the ultimate “everything app” is on, and simplicity is the goal: one interface to do it all, powered by your data. To make it work, companies need more data centers, more power, and more compute, and every country wants in on the action and the investments that come with it. Let’s dive in.

The Everything App is coming.
Google, Apple, Meta, OpenAI, and others are racing to build AI-powered “everything apps” that merge search, assistants, and productivity tools into one seamless interface. Some already have devices in the market, while OpenAI is collaborating with Jony Ive to develop a new AI-first device designed for natural, always-on interaction. Google’s new AI Mode, now live in the U.S., replaces traditional search with a conversational assistant that can answer questions, make reservations, analyze images, and more, leveraging personal data to deliver tailored results. With AI rapidly advancing, we may soon rely on 24/7 assistants that know our habits, environment, and needs, marking the end of traditional “search” as we know it. 🧰 AI ToolsTo train models using images, sounds, or poses, with minimal coding.

I a recent interview Yann LeCun, Chief AI Scientist at Meta, said that there is no “We are not going to get to Human Level AI by just getting bigger LLMs, there is absolutely no way.” “A country of genius in a data center is completely BS.” AI can coma up with all the data we have compiled in a very organized format ia matter of seconds, but it wont find creative or innovative solutions to current or future problems anytime soon. I believe this is completely true, a large data center will allow systems to store gigantic amounts of data with a very sophisticated retrieval system for us to access AI using interfaces like ChatGPT, it will allow for AI agents, robotics, advance autonomous vehicles, and higher inference. But, I just found a company developing a technology out of a sci-fi book. Something that may allow these new technologies to actually merge with real brains to come up with the independent thinking these AI systems lack. Cortical Labs, a Australian startup has launched the CL1, the world’s first commercial biocomputer combining 800,000 live human neurons with silicon chips. Priced at $35,000 per unit, it allows researchers to run real-time experiments with brain cells capable of learning and adapting through sub-millisecond electrical feedback loops. I was curious how this entire process works and this is what I found: Cortical Labs' CL1 biocomputer combines live human neurons with electronic hardware to create a working system that can process information biologically. Here's a breakdown of how they built it: Step-by-Step: From Human Cells to Biocomputer
Requirements
Key specs and features:
Potential applications include drug discovery, neurocomputation, AI acceleration, and Bitcoin mining. It's already shown promise restoring function in epileptic neural cultures and outperforming deep learning algorithms in some tasks. Backed by $11M in funding, including from In-Q-Tel (CIA's VC arm), Cortical Labs sees the CL1 as a leap toward bioengineered intelligence—machines designed with the adaptability and efficiency of biology. 🚀 Bring Your Website to Life with an AI Chatbot

Brazil Joins Global Race to Attract AI Billions.
Brazil is rolling out tax breaks, import duty exemptions, and regulatory perks to attract AI-focused data centers, aiming to drive up to R$2 trillion (~$390B USD) in investment over 10 years. The package includes mandates for local computing use (10%) and contributions (2–8% of revenue) to a national development fund. Brazil’s clean energy is a key competitive edge in the carbon-conscious tech economy. However, critics cite a lack of transparency, limited job creation, and legal uncertainty as potential pitfalls. There is definitely a growing global trend of nations offering incentives to anchor AI infrastructure within their borders, and it will continue to grow. 🧠 Learning Corner.

Is AI Hurting Job Prospects for New Grads?
Recent college grads are facing higher unemployment—nearly 6% for ages 22–27 with a bachelor’s degree—compared to just over 4% for the general workforce, according to Oxford Economics. AI is likely a factor. Entry-level white-collar roles are being displaced as automation makes senior workers more productive. The job market is undergoing a white-collar recession, unlike past downturns that hit non-degree holders harder. AI’s productivity gains may benefit the economy eventually, but for now, it’s sidelining young talent. 🧰 AI ToolsData Analytics

Samsung is also expected to lead a $500 million funding round that would value Perplexity at $14 billion, up from its last reported $1 billion valuation in early 2024. It also positions Perplexity as a key player in mobile AI, which could significantly boost Perplexity’s market value, user reach, and strategic clout, and potentially push its valuation beyond $14B in subsequent rounds. 🚀 Bring Your Website to Life with an AI Chatbot

The AI Browser Revolution
Traditional web browsers are evolving into intelligent platforms that not only display content but also understand user intent, automate tasks, and generate content. We are use to google listing links that potentially have the answer to our search or queries, but do not truly give us answers. The AI browsers will provide legitimate answers with sources and images and videos if needed., Wil will be able to interact with them via audio and provide images and live video for summaries and more information what we are seeing and thinking. This shift is driven by advancements in AI, particularly large language models, enabling browsers to act as proactive assistants. Leading AI Browser Initiatives
The emergence of AI-powered browsers signifies a shift in how users access and interact with web content:
