Bret Weinstein on Elon Musk’s AI Wealth Idea and What It Means for Human Purpose

Bret Weinstein and Joe Rogan discuss the implications of Elon Musk’s idea of a high income for everyone due to AI. Weinstein expresses concern that universal wealth could eliminate human purpose, which has historically been tied to survival, raising children, and creating wealth. Rogan counters that purpose shouldn’t be dependent on the “made-up thing” of money and that humanity can adapt, suggesting that ending poverty would solve social issues like crime. They also touch upon AI-generated art, with Rogan enjoying AI music and Weinstein cautioning against the “junkification” of creative output.

Microsoft Just Dropped KOSMOS: AI With 80% Human-Level Performance

Microsoft just dropped KOSMOS — an autonomous AI system that runs for 12 hours straight, spins up hundreds of smaller AIs in sync, reads over 1,500 papers, writes 40,000 lines of Python, and delivers reports with ~80 % accuracy in early reviews. At the same time, Google’s DS-STAR turns chaotic business data into working analysis by planning, coding, testing, and auto-debugging its own Python. And Moonshot AI’s Kimi K2 Thinking pushes open-source reasoning to new limits with hundreds of chained tool calls for browsing, math, and coding. The global AI race just hit another level.

Students frustrated over AI use by peers

Some high school students are expressing frustration over their peers’ use of artificial intelligence to complete assignments, which they say leads to an unfair advantage for those who use the technology. Meanwhile, a new grant from Microsoft, ChatGPT and other companies is funding training for teachers on how to best use AI in the classroom. NBC News’ Rehema Ellis reports from Princeton High School where she speaks to students on their opinions on AI on campus.

Everyone’s Blaming AI For Layoffs — Should They?

Between January and September 2025, there have been 946,426 job cuts announced, with roughly 300,000 from the government sector, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas. But some economists don’t buy that recent layoffs are caused by AI. Economic uncertainty, tariffs and less consumer spending might be hurting U.S. workers more than CEOs will admit.

China Just Dropped Self-Evolving AI Robots With Real Human Physical Intuition

China just dropped WoW — the world’s first self-evolving world model that teaches robots to think, move, and act with human-like intuition. The Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center built it with Peking University and HKUST, giving machines the ability to “imagine,” “verify,” and “self-correct.” Meanwhile, startup Noetix Robotics launched Bumi — a $1,370 humanoid for homes and classrooms that walks, talks, and dances. And Unitree’s G1 just pulled a 3,100-pound car while balancing on its own two feet. From cheap humanoids to self-learning AI minds, China’s robotics scene just hit a new level.

AI layoffs hit Big Tech: Here’s what to know

The YouTube video “AI layoffs hit Big Tech: Here’s what to know” from CNBC Television explores whether the recent wave of job cuts in the tech industry is genuinely a result of AI adoption or if AI is being used as a cover story.

Here is a summary of the key points from the video:

  • The Debate: The central question is whether the layoffs at companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, and Salesforce—affecting tens of thousands of jobs—are truly being caused by AI, or if the technology is a “scapegoat” for other employment issues.
  • The Counter-Narrative from CEOs: Several CEOs at Nvidia’s GTC conference pushed back on the idea that AI is the primary driver:
    • The CEO of Perplexity argued that the cuts are the result of “overhiring” during the COVID-era when company headcount became bloated. He asserted that “correlation doesn’t imply causation.”
    • The CoreWeave CEO suggested the cuts are part of a natural “rotation” that occurs during every technical revolution, highlighting the need for government assistance to help workers retrain and “repurpose.”
    • The CrowdStrike CEO offered an optimistic view, suggesting that AI will take over the “grunt work” and elevate human workers into “controllers” who operate alongside the technology.
  • The Complicated Reality: The video notes the complexity of the situation, pointing out that many of these cuts are happening while the companies are reporting “almost record profits” and making massive investments in AI:
    • Amazon cut 14,000 jobs, citing AI.
    • Microsoft eliminated over 15,000 jobs this year while investing approximately $80 billion in AI.
    • Meta cut 600 from its AI unit, and Salesforce cut 4,000.
  • Conclusion: The segment concludes by suggesting that companies are largely using AI as “cover to finally correct years of bloated headcount and hiring mistakes.” It also acknowledges that the immense pressure to create “remarkable amounts of productivity” to justify high valuations will inevitably lead to some degree of job displacement.

I Tried the First Humanoid Home Robot. It Got Weird. | WSJ

The 1X Neo is one of the first humanoid robots built for your home and is equipped with full AI software. For $20,000, you can pre-order X1’s Neo now with delivery set for 2026. But a company representative might need to peer into your home, via Neo’s camera eyes, to help get things done.

WSJ’s Joanna Stern spent time with it—and its creator—to see what it can really do and how much it still requires a human operator’s help.
