Here’s the scoop for today bozo’s! Open-source takes the spotlight with Ai2’s OLMo 2 flexing serious muscle against the big players, YeagerAI’s Intelligent Oracle rewires how blockchain handles data, and Eric Schmidt warns that AI might just be the genius—or the villain—we didn’t see coming. Let’s dive into the breakthroughs, the bold moves, and the "what ifs" shaping the future of AI.

OLMo 2 Drops In: Ai2’s Open-Source Flex

Listen up, rookies—Ai2 just leveled up the open-source game with OLMo 2, packing 7B and 13B parameter models. These bad boys chew through 5 trillion tokens like it’s breakfast and give closed-weight models like Llama 3.1 a run for their money on English benchmarks. Yeah, that's right—open-source ain’t playing second fiddle anymore. What’s new? Ai2 ditched the fluff, adding tech wizardry like RMSNorm and rotary positional embeddings. Translation: faster, meaner, better. And don’t sleep on the OLMo 2-Instruct-13B—this beast is outclassing models twice its size. Size doesn’t matter when you’ve got skills, eh? Ai2 also went full transparency mode: weights, data, code—the whole enchilada is out there for the nerds to tinker with. Oh, and there’s a shiny new benchmark system, OLMES, because why not raise the bar while flexing on the competition?

Moral of the story? OLMo 2 is here to kick open the proprietary gates and take names. It’s open science with a side of street smarts.

YeagerAI’s Intelligent Oracle: Blockchain Gets a Brain

Alright, folks, YeagerAI just dropped the Intelligent Oracle, and it’s about to give blockchain the IQ boost it desperately needed. This AI-powered oracle can sling online data straight onto the blockchain, paving the way for smarter, faster, and less dumb decentralized apps (DApps). Built on YeagerAI’s GenLayer blockchain, it’s all about making future-proof moves with cross-chain compatibility and scalable decision-making.

Here’s the deal: traditional oracles are clunky, slow, and about as flexible as a rusty door hinge. Enter the Intelligent Oracle—this thing uses AI and something called "Optimistic Democracy" (fancy words for letting validators backed by LLMs verify everything). Think of it like a hyper-smart middleman that ensures the data is accurate, secure, and lightning fast.

Bottom line? The Intelligent Oracle isn’t just changing the game—it’s rewriting the rules. Blockchain is getting brains, and YeagerAI is driving the revolution.

The Schmidt Theory: The Promise and the Peril

AI could revolutionize industries like healthcare, education, and film, but former Google CEO Eric Schmidt isn’t sugarcoating the risks. On The Prof G Pod with Scott Galloway, Schmidt painted a mixed picture of AI’s potential, from boosting productivity to becoming a tool for biological warfare.

His biggest worry? AI could eventually create biological pathogens or fuel devastating cyberattacks capable of crippling financial systems. Add dictators using AI to tighten their grip on power, and you’ve got a recipe for dystopia.

While Schmidt acknowledges the benefits of AI, he warns that its destructive potential in the wrong hands demands urgent safeguards. In other words: play with fire, but don’t get burned.
