Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is an AI guy. Last week, during a stop in Nashville on his Take Back Your Health tour, the Health and Human Services secretary brought up the technology between condemning ultra-processed foods and urging Americans to eat protein. "My agency is now leading the federal government in driving AI into all of our activities," he declared. An army of bots, Kennedy said, will transform medicine, eliminate fraud, and put a virtual doctor in everyone's pocket. RFK Jr. has talked up the promise of infusing his department with AI for months.

Nvidia sets fresh sales record amid fears of an AI bubble and Trump's trade wars

The Guardian

Chipmaker Nvidia set a fresh sales record in the second quarter, surpassing Wall Street expectations for its artificial intelligence chips. But shares of the chip giant still dropped 2.3% in after hours trading, in a sign that investors' worries of an AI bubble and the repercussions of Donald Trump's trade wars are not quelled. Nvidia's financial report was the first test of investor appetite since last week's mass AI-stock selloff, when several tech stocks saw shares tumble last week amid growing questions over whether AI-driven companies are being overvalued. On Wednesday, Nvidia reported an adjusted earnings per share of 1.08 on 46.74bn in revenue, surpassing Wall Street's projection of 1.01 in earnings per share on 46.05bn in revenue, according to Fact Set data. But investors had high expectations for the company.


Why a classical education may be the key to humanity's future in the AI era

FOX News

NVIDIA CEO and co-founder Jensen Huang commends President Donald Trump's A.I. agenda and outlines what the country's job future will look like on'Special Report.' Classical and character-based education may seem to some antiquated concepts in the new AI-driven world. However, two recent and prominent AI developments definitively prove the opposite to be true. Going back to our nation's founding, great minds were universal in the belief that the survival of the Republic depended on an educated and virtuous public. Now, if AI experts are to be believed, classical and character education is fundamental to the very survival of humanity.

How Peter Thiel's Relationship With Eliezer Yudkowsky Launched the AI Revolution

WIRED

It would be hard to overstate the impact that Peter Thiel has had on the career of Sam Altman. After Altman sold his first startup in 2012, Thiel bankrolled his first venture fund, Hydrazine Capital. Thiel saw Altman as an inveterate optimist who stood at "the absolute epicenter, maybe not of Silicon Valley, but of a Silicon Valley zeitgeist." As Thiel put it, "If you had to look for the one person who represented a millennial tech person, it would be Altman." Each year, Altman would point Thiel toward the most promising startup at Y Combinator–Airbnb in 2012, Stripe in 2013, Zenefits in 2014–and Thiel would swallow hard and invest, even though he sometimes felt like he was being swept up in a hype cycle.
