THE AI BUBBLE

🫧The AI Bubble’s About to Pop? Here’s What Happened.

The S&P 500 Index declined 1.66% over the past five days, and the Nasdaq 100 Index declined 2.80%. So, what the heck happened this week?!

Key Details:
  1. MIT’s Project NANDA reported that despite enterprises investing nearly $40 billion in GenAI, 95% of corporate initiatives involving GenAI failed to generate any returns.

  2. Meta decided to downsize and reorganize Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL) into four distinct teams focused on research, training, products, and infrastructure despite having just spent billions of dollars to acquire AI researchers. This sudden reshuffle seemed like a chaotic restructuring effort filled with uncertainty.

  3. During back-to-back interviews, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman admitted that we’re in an AI bubble that’s poised to pop, with investors ā€œoverexcited about AI.ā€ He also added that OpenAI plans to ā€œspend trillions of dollars on datacenter construction.ā€

Why It’s Important:
  • In the past six months, AI infrastructure has contributed more to the growth of the U.S. economy than all of consumer spending. For context, the Magnificent 7 Stocks have poured over $100 billion into datacenter construction in just the last three months.

  • Tech critic Ed Zitron recently warned about the ā€œSubprime AI Crisis,ā€ where AI firms like OpenAI provide products and services at a massive loss, while tech giants like Microsoft, OpenAI’s strategic partner and major investor, prop them up by supplying any computational resources they need to stay afloat. So, what happens when the entire tech industry relies on the success of something that only loses money?

šŸ”¬AI Predicts How Molecules Will Dissolve

A group of mechanical engineers from MIT ChemE developed ā€œFastSolv,ā€ which predicts how well molecules will dissolve in different solvents.

Key Details:
  • A solute is the substance that gets dissolved. A solvent is the substance that does the dissolving. Together, they form a solution. For example, in saltwater, salt is the solute and water is the solvent.

  • ā€œFastSolvā€ utilizes Machine Learning (ML) Models trained on BigSolDB: a high-quality dataset of over 40,000 solubility measurements under different pressures and temperatures.

  • The ML Models include:

    1. FastProp: Provides simplified summaries of a molecule’s size and shape.

    2. ChemProp: Captures the complex relationships within a molecule’s structure.

  • Together, they balance speed and accuracy, enabling ā€œFastSolvā€ to generate fast, reliable, and consistent predictions of how molecules will likely mix with various solvents.

Why It’s Important:
  • So, why does predicting a molecule’s solubility even matter? Because solubility is the ultimate gatekeeper in chemistry. If a molecule can’t dissolve properly, chemists can’t make new drugs or discover new materials. As a result, innovation halts and breakthroughs disappear.

  • Imagine taking a drug that can’t dissolve properly in your body; it simply won’t work. That’s why understanding solubility upfront saves time, money, and lives.

PROMPT ENGINEERING TIPS

āš™ļøPersuade Without Pressure!

Whether you’re selling a product, writing a proposal, or presenting to clients, persuasion plays a crucial role in effective communication.

But here’s the truth: persuasion isn’t manipulation. It’s not about tricking people into saying, ā€œYes, you’re right!ā€ It’s about understanding how people think, feel, and act so you can make your message memorable.

This simple prompt turns ChatGPT into your personal persuasion partner:

  • Context: I’m preparing for {Insert Persuasion Scenario}, where I want to foster a collaborative atmosphere that encourages open dialogue.

  • Clarity: But I struggle to connect, understand, and influence authentically without seeming pushy.

  • Guidance: Can you provide me with several actionable tips for practicing active listening, telling compelling stories, and finding common ground to communicate more persuasively?
