I talked to Jason Allen, who submitted an AI-generated piece to the Colorado State Fair and won first prize.
“Art is dead, dude,” he told me. “It’s over. A.I. won. Humans lost.”

US AI labs: we will invent new financial instruments, pull trillions of dollars out of the ether, and fuse the atom to build the machine god

The EU just launched a €1.1B “Apply AI” plan to boost artificial intelligence in key industries like health, manufacturing, pharma, and energy.
The goal is simple but ambitious: build European AI independence and reduce reliance on U.S. and Chinese tech.
