OpenAI Dropped New Scientific Benchmark:
OpenAI just built a brutal science exam for AI. It is called LifeSciBench, and real working scientists wrote every question. Turns out even the smartest models still struggle with messy, real world research.
Things to Know:
The New Report Card: LifeSciBench throws 750 real research problems at AI, written by working PhD scientists. It checks scientific judgment, not memorized facts.
The Scale Of It: Every task survived six rounds of rigorous expert review. Several include over 1,000 supporting documents, from genomic charts to sequences.
Where AI Shines: GPT Rosalind jumped from 25.7 to 36.1 percentage pass rate. It performs strongest at communicating science plainly, not calculating statistics.
Where It Still Fails: Models still struggle with diagrams, gene sequences, and complicated documents. Pass rates plummet under 30 percent on hands-on design tasks.
So no, your friendly neighborhood chatbot will not replace your laboratory partner anytime soon. But give it a few more update cycles, and that gap might shrink dramatically. This space is worth watching.
Google Just Lost Its AI Transformer Genius:
Google just lost the person who essentially invented the architecture underlying every chatbot. Noam Shazeer is leaving Gemini for OpenAI, only two years after Google paid billions to get him back. Awkward.
Things to Know:
The Backstory: Shazeer co-wrote the groundbreaking transformer paper that underpins virtually every AI model today. Now he is exchanging Gemini for OpenAI.
The Expensive Irony: Google invested approximately 2.7 billion dollars in 2024 to reacquire Shazeer from Character.AI. That expensive reunion barely lasted two years.
Why This Matters: This is not just corporate executive reshuffling. Shazeer represents one of the most significant individual talent departures in AI history.
What Happens Next: OpenAI is preparing for a major public offering while assembling its roster with exceptional talent. Google confronts a considerable shortfall.
Money could not keep him. Loyalty could not keep him. The only question remaining is whether Google could construct the following transformer before OpenAI does, and whether Shazeer will help write it.
Where to Invest $100,000 Right Now, According to Experts
Investors face a dilemma. When the S&P 500 finished its worst quarter since 2022 last month, diversifiers like bonds and bitcoin fell too.
Even with the turnaround in mid-April, analysts at Goldman Sachs and Vanguard have projected low-single-digit annualized returns from 2024-2034.
Bloomberg asked where experts would personally invest $100,000 for their March monthly edition.
One answer that surfaced for a second time? Art.
It's what billionaires like Bezos and the Rockefellers have privately used to diversify for decades.
Why?
Appreciation. The ArtPrice100 Index outpaced the S&P 500 overall from 2000 to 2025
Low-correlation. The postwar contemporary segment has moved independently of traditional investments like stocks since ‘95.*
Resilience. A scarce, physical, and global asset class with decades of demonstrated demand.
Thanks to the world's premier art investing platform, now anyone can invest in works featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso, without needing millions.
Shares in new offerings can sell quickly but...

Midjourney Launches A Medical Scanner:
Midjourney just abandoned colorful pictures for a full body ultrasound scanner that outperforms MRI on speed. Yes, the AI art company now intends to scan your organs. Buckle up, this gets bizarre fast.
Things to Know:
The Big Reveal: Midjourney unveiled an ultrasound scanner equipped with thousands of transducers. It reconstructs your complete body in merely sixty seconds.
The Spa Twist: Forget clinical hospitals. Midjourney intends to install these scanners inside wellness spas, complete with hot tubs, saunas, and cold plunges.
The Tech Behind It: The hardware originates from a licensing deal with Butterfly Network, creator of handheld ultrasound chips. Midjourney paid millions for access.
The Massive Ambition: Midjourney envisions 50,000 scanners worldwide within six years, generating a billion scans monthly. FDA approval remains a significant hurdle.
An AI image corporation currently intends to examine your complete insides at a spa. Whether this becomes genuine healthcare or merely an extravagant bathhouse remains unclear. Either way, grab a bathrobe.

How to Get an AI Assistant That Does the Work:
Most AI tools answer questions. Lindy does the actual work. There is a real difference between asking an AI to draft an email and having it triage your inbox, prep you for a meeting, take notes during the call, send the follow-up, and update your CRM afterward without you touching anything.
Lindy is a personal AI work assistant that connects to your email, calendar, meetings, and other apps to handle the recurring tasks that eat up your day. Think of it as an executive assistant that works across all your tools at once.
Here's how to use it:
Sign up and connect your accounts: Create your Lindy account and link your Gmail or Outlook inbox and calendar. You can also add a phone number to unlock iMessage and SMS delegation, which means you can text Lindy tasks from your phone without opening another app.
Let it manage your inbox: Lindy reads your emails, labels what matters, surfaces deadlines and urgent threads, and drafts replies in your voice using the context from your inbox and calendar. You review and send, or let it handle it automatically.
Use it for your full meeting loop: Lindy prepares a brief before each call, joins the meeting, records notes, identifies decisions and action items, and sends the follow-up email when it is done. You stay in the conversation instead of typing notes the whole time.
Hand off scheduling: Instead of coordinating back and forth over email, tell Lindy what you need. "Find 30 minutes with Alex next week and protect two hours tomorrow for deep work." It checks calendars, sends invites, and handles rescheduling if things change.
Connect your other tools: Lindy integrates with HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack, Notion, Zoom, and more. After a sales call it can update your CRM automatically. After a team meeting it can push action items to your project management tool.
If you spend a significant chunk of your day on emails, meeting prep, and follow-ups, Lindy is worth a proper look.

Working Cats Form Orderly Box Queue:
Prompt:
“A line of cats in distinct work uniforms, business suit, construction vest, chef coat, queues patiently behind a plain cardboard box. One cat already sits crouched inside, grinning with smug satisfaction. The mood feels routine and office-like, as if this is a daily ritual. Lighting is soft and even, composition wide, capturing the absurd, deadpan humor of the scene.”
Try this prompt in any decent AI image generator and let me know your result.
- DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR -
If this email landed in your Promotions or Spam tab, move it to your Primary inbox. Takes 2 seconds, and you will never miss an edition again.
I put this together every day so you do not have to spend your morning hunting down AI news yourself. Would be a shame if it ended up buried under discount codes and bank alerts.
