Prompt of the Day 🎨

Personalized food truck prompt: “Imagine you quit your job to follow your wildest culinary dream: running a fantasy food truck that serves magical or over-the-top cuisine! Create a highly detailed, photo-realistic image of ME as the owner of a themed food truck. The truck should reflect my personality, interests, and favorite foods: Personality = [insert], interests = [insert], favorite foods = [insert]. I should be standing outside the truck in a fun, themed outfit that matches the vibe of the truck. The truck should have a creative name visible on its sign. Include a menu board with at least 3 quirky, made-up menu items.

Microsoft is cutting roles and investing in AI 👋

Microsoft is cutting about 7,000 jobs, or 3% of its workforce.

The move isn’t about poor performance or falling revenue. It’s a clear shift in strategy—fewer layers, more engineers, and more investment in artificial intelligence.

The short-term logic is clear. Microsoft is cutting structure to fund AI growth. But over time, companies will need to balance innovation with internal support.

Removing middle managers may speed up some work, but it can also reduce mentorship, training, and context—things that help teams stay aligned.

AI and the Algorithmic Muse: Entertainment's Next Act 🤨

Hold onto your popcorn, folks, because artificial intelligence (AI) is about to take our beloved entertainment for a joyride, and it probably won’t ask for directions.

We’re talking about a future where AI isn’t just fetching your slippers (it might do that too; who knows?) but is actively involved in crafting stories that make us laugh, cry, or hide behind the sofa.

Right now, AI in entertainment is like that friend who thinks they know your taste because you watched one cat video, and now your feed is an endless feline festival. Future AI, however, aims to be your entertainment soulmate.

US paves the way for Nvidia and Saudi Arabia's Humain deal 💰

NVIDIA, the world’s biggest semiconductor maker, will supply its most advanced artificial intelligence-related chips to Saudi Arabia’s Humain, a company created to push that country’s AI infrastructure efforts.

To pave the way on AI, the US on Tuesday moved formally to rescind the so-called AI diffusion rule launched under President Joe Biden.

That measure, which created three broad tiers of access for countries seeking AI chips, had faced intense opposition from companies like NVIDIA and American allies over the constraints it placed on countries’ semiconductor purchases.
