Meta’s High-Profile Hire: In a bold talent grab, Meta Platforms announced it has hired Shengjia Zhao, a co-creator of OpenAI’s ChatGPT and GPT-4, as chief scientist of its new “Superintelligence Lab.” CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed the move on July 25, calling Zhao a “co-founder” of the lab who will “set the research agenda and scientific direction… working directly with me and Alex [Wang]” reuters.com. Zhao is one of several top researchers lured from OpenAI to Meta in recent weeks amid a fierce talent arms race reuters.com. Meta is reportedly offering lavish pay and equity to close the gap in advanced AI reuters.com. The new Superintelligence Lab will consolidate work on Meta’s LLaMa models and long-term AGI goals, operating separately from FAIR reuters.com. Zuckerberg has openly declared Meta’s aim to build “full general intelligence” as open source – an approach that has drawn both praise and concern in the AI community reuters.com.

White House Targets “Global Dominance” in AI: In Washington, the U.S. unveiled a sweeping AI Action Plan aimed at achieving “global dominance” in artificial intelligence reuters.com. Announced by President Donald Trump on July 23, the plan calls for open-source AI models to be freely available worldwide and vows to slash regulations deemed “burdensome” to innovation reuters.com cfodive.com. It even warns that federal AI funds will bypass states with heavy-handed tech rules in favor of an “unencumbered” private sector reuters.com cfodive.com. “AI is far too important to smother in bureaucracy at this early stage,” the plan declares, emphasizing the need to remove regulatory “red tape” cfodive.com. Alongside deregulation, the blueprint pushes an international agenda: boosting AI exports to allies and countering China’s influence.

Free Satellite Internet: Myth or Reality? The Cheapest Options Revealed

Free Satellite Internet: Myth or Reality? The Cheapest Options Revealed

The concept of free internet beamed from satellites is undeniably alluring. Imagine getting online from anywhere on Earth without paying a monthly bill – a potential game-changer for remote communities and travelers. Over the years, there have even been ambitious claims of making this a reality. For instance, in 2018 a Chinese company LinkSure announced plans for a 272-satellite constellation to provide free global Wi-Fi by 2026 abc.net.au abc.net.au. Likewise, start-up Quika touted “the world’s first entirely free high-speed satellite internet” for developing countries, aiming to bridge the digital divide americantv.com. These projects generated excitement – one Chinese social media user gleefully imagined “going out without asking for a Wi-Fi password” if LinkSure succeeded abc.net.au. Clearly, the demand for no-cost connectivity from space is high. But how close are we to that ideal?
