    IT'S NOT JUST YOU: GOOGLE SEEMINGLY SCALED BACK AI OVERVIEWS AFTER
    ITS ROCKY LAUNCH (3 MINUTE READ) [6]

    Google has scaled back AI Overviews. The AI-generated answers are now appearing in around 11 percent of queries, down from around 27 percent
    when the feature was launched last month. The company is still in the
    process of refining the feature. AI Overviews are appearing most in health-focused searches, despite the company highlighting the tool's
    use for shopping, restaurant recommendations, and travel in its
    marketing.

    NVIDIA EMAILS: ELON MUSK DIVERTING TESLA GPUS TO HIS OTHER COMPANIES
    (3 MINUTE READ) [7]

    Elon Musk redirected 12,000 H100 GPUs ordered by Tesla to X. He had
    told investors in April that Tesla had spent $1 billion on GPUs in the
    three months of the year. Tesla has been developing its own in-house supercomputer for AI, but Musk has previously said that it would be
    redundant if the company could source more H100s. X's order of 12,000
    H100s will be redirected to Tesla.

    SCIENCE & FUTURISTIC TECHNOLOGY

    FLAWED, SCANDALOUS TRIALS TANK FDA EXPERT SUPPORT FOR MDMA THERAPY (4
    MINUTE READ) [8]

    Advisors for the Food and Drug Administration have voted
    overwhelmingly against approving MDMA as part of a therapy for
    post-traumatic stress disorder. While results from clinical trials
    showed positive results, a deeper look at the data uncovered a large
    number of trial flaws that threw the validity of the positive results
    into serious question. The FDA is conducting an investigation into
    accusations of possible data manipulation during the trials. There
    were claims that some of the trial participants were discouraged from
    reporting negative responses to the therapy.

    `EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE': MELANOMA JAB TRIAL RESULTS EXCITE DOCTORS
    (3 MINUTE READ) [9]

    A mRNA cancer vaccine for melanoma halves the risk of patients dying
    or the disease returning after three years. The vaccine is
    custom-built for each patient and specific to each patient's tumor.
    The average risk of recurrence for the type of advanced cancer the
    study focused on is 50%, but the vaccine brought the risk of
    recurrence down to 25%. The data from the study suggests that levels
    of cancer relapse did not increase in people with high-risk,
    advanced-stage melanoma.

    SKIP SDKS IN SIMPLE INTEGRATIONS (4 MINUTE READ) [12]

    SDKs are not always beneficial and can complicate the development
    process. They often organize API interactions differently to how
    developers want them, have hidden complexities, use outdated
    dependencies, and have learning overhead. Using direct API calls
    allows for offline development, custom typing information, and easier
    swapping of vendors. SDKs can still be useful for deep integration
    with a service, but for simple API integrations, they introduce too
    much unnecessary bloat and cognitive overhead.

    This book looks at what the future holds for AI. It discusses the road
    to AGI, superintelligence, scaling, security, and more. While many
    people may think that those in the AI industry are crazy, those that

    get talked into work you don't think is a good use of your time.
