From Voice Command to Action: How Comet Works Perplexity’s Comet layers a voice‑driven agent atop a Chrome‑compatible browser. After a quick OAuth handshake, it gains scoped access to Gmail, Calendar, retail sites, and social networks. You speak or type a natural‑language command—“unsubscribe from Grubhub,” “add Taco Tuesday at eleven,” “find the cheapest Casa Azul”––and Comet orchestrates […]| NATURAL 20
The Breakthrough Claim A new preprint from a Chinese research team argues that artificial intelligence may have crossed a milestone: autonomous improvement of its own architecture. Their framework—dubbed ASI Arch—purports to design, test, and iterate neural‑network layouts without any human engineering. The authors liken the moment to AlphaGo’s self‑play leap in 2016, suggesting that AI research […]| NATURAL 20
Why an AI Playbook Now? Generative models are already drafting legal briefs, diagnosing disease, and steering factory robots. U.S. leaders fear that moving too slowly will cede long‑term advantages to geopolitical rivals, yet shipping untested systems could spark economic upheaval or erode public trust. The White House’s new national action plan tackles this dilemma by […]| NATURAL 20
The Bidding Begins: OpenAI’s Stock Play Windsurf, a six‑month‑old AI‑coding rocket ship, found itself at the center of a three‑ring circus when OpenAI dangled roughly $3 billion in stock. The offer looked generous—until lawyers noticed a buried clause granting Microsoft veto rights over any IP transfer involving OpenAI. That single line, inked during Windsurf’s Azure credits deal, […]| NATURAL 20
Vision‑Only Robo‑Taxis Hit the Streets A test ride in Tesla’s latest robo‑taxi shows just how far camera‑only autonomy has come. Navigating Austin’s rush‑hour traffic without radar or lidar, the vehicle merges, yields, and parks using a neural network that interprets raw pixels. By ditching expensive sensors, Tesla can retrofit existing cars and manufacture new fleets […]| NATURAL 20
