Dear Readers,

Every week, AI feels a little less like science fiction and more like the infrastructure of modern life. This edition captures that shift in motion, from Claude’s foray into financial modeling to the U.S. government’s billion-dollar supercomputer bet with AMD, and OpenAI’s quiet push to make AI emotionally literate. Each story marks a small but unmistakable turn toward systems that don’t just compute, they govern, reason, and increasingly, replace.

You’ll also find Amazon’s next wave of white-collar layoffs tied to automation, OpenAI’s projected $100 billion growth curve, and robotics breakthroughs that are literally pulling cars and thinking in 3D. It’s a wild, uneven, exhilarating moment to be building, watching, and re-imagining what “intelligence” means and who gets to claim it. Dive in; the future’s already clocked in for work.

In Today’s Issue:

📉 Amazon is cutting up to 30,000 corporate jobs

🦾 The Unitree G1 robot showcased its impressive strength

🧠 INSAIT in Bulgaria launched "SPEAR-1"

🤝 Applied Ventures is backing Augmentus to scale AutoPath™

✨ And more AI goodness…

All the best,

OpenAI announced that its latest model update (GPT‑5) has been developed with the help of over 170 mental health experts to improve how the system responds to sensitive topics and emotional reliance.

Amazon is reportedly preparing to cut up to 30,000 corporate jobs, nearly 10 % of its white-collar workforce! The company frames the move as part of a post-pandemic correction and cost optimization, but it’s also a sign of a deeper shift: automation and AI now handling functions once reserved for human teams. From HR analytics to logistics planning, algorithms are becoming the quiet middle managers of global corporations.

For the AI community, this marks a pivotal moment. It’s not just warehouse workers or customer service agents facing automation, but corporate professionals in finance, marketing, and operations. The lines between “knowledge work” and “machine work” are blurring faster than most expected.

The relevance is clear: AI isn’t an isolated innovation, it’s a new layer of management itself. Those who can build, interpret, or oversee these systems will shape the next era of work. The rest risk becoming the efficiency gains on someone else’s balance sheet.

Why it matters: AI at scale is rewriting the structure of corporate labor. For builders and thinkers in AI, this isn’t just a cautionary story, it’s a roadmap to where opportunity and disruption now overlap.
