📊 AI Stocks Performance Snapshot (November 11–15, 2024)

🔥 What’s Buzzing in AI This Week

• Gemini Takes the Lead: Is GPT’s Reign Over?
  A new challenger has entered the arena—Gemini-Exp-1114. This experimental model just beat OpenAI’s best on the lmarena leaderboard, tying with GPT-4o. Speculation is rife that this could be a preview of Google DeepMind’s hyped Gemini 2. Developers are buzzing, and we’re all waiting to see if GPT finally has real competition.

• Elon Musk’s $6B Nvidia Bet
  Musk’s xAI is raising a whopping $6 billion to snap up 100,000 Nvidia GPUs—the chips that power AI breakthroughs. With Middle Eastern investors backing the move, xAI’s valuation is set to hit $50 billion. The message? Musk is all-in on the AI arms race.

• Friend AI Necklace: Polarizing the Chatbot Experience
  Chatbots just got weird. The Friend AI necklace is sparking debates with its provocative messages like, “Just got mugged at gunpoint.” It’s meant to make interactions more engaging, but users are divided—some love it, others are freaked out by chatbots that block them. It’s polarizing, but undeniably intriguing.

• TwinMind: AI Assistant with Long-Term Memory
  Meet TwinMind, the AI assistant that actually remembers you. Unlike current AI tools, it doesn’t just respond—it learns and grows with your preferences over time. Created by ex-Google X employees, this could be the next big leap in personal AI.

• Amazon Doubles Down on AI Ads
  AI is making Amazon’s ads eerily smart. Using generative AI, the retail giant is crafting hyper-personalized ads that could add $20 billion in revenue by 2025. Creepy or genius? You decide—but your wallet might not survive.

AI Gossips 🫣

1. AI in Education: Catholic CoPilot Chatbot

Brisbane Catholic Education has launched Catholic CoPilot, a chatbot that integrates Catholic teachings into lesson planning and administrative tasks. This tool aims to save teachers significant time while ensuring educational content aligns with religious values, marking a unique intersection of AI and faith-based education. Where is Geeta CoPilot or Krishna AI?

2. U.S. Tightens AI Investment Regulations

The U.S. Treasury Department is set to implement restrictions limiting American investments in advanced Chinese AI startups, citing national security concerns. Effective January 2025, these measures aim to maintain the U.S.'s lead in AI development and slow China's progress in the field. Will India do anything in this domain like it did with TikTok?

🎉 Something Fun to Wrap It Up

Here’s a quirky AI fact to leave you smiling:

Did you know? OpenAI once trained GPT to generate knock-knock jokes—and one of its funniest was:

• Knock, knock!

• Who’s there?

• AI.

• AI who?

• AI’m here to make your life easier!

Okay, maybe AI humor has a ways to go, but hey, it’s trying! 🤖
