AI Is Teaching Itself
This one slipped under the radar.
And it shouldn’t have.
Google DeepMind just dropped AlphaEvolve.
⛓️ A coding agent.
⚡ Powered by Gemini.
🧬 But here’s the twist—it doesn’t just run code.
It evolves it.
This thing isn’t “AI.”
It’s evolution in real time.
It rewrites the rules of logic.
Then makes new ones.
💥 It shattered a 56-year-old matrix multiplication record.
💥 It reclaims wasted compute across Google’s data centers.
💥 It optimizes chip design and training at scale.
Read that again.
Not brainstorms.
Not simulates.
Delivers.
The line between human-designed and AI-discovered?
It just blurred.
Now imagine this power in your hands:
— Faster R&D
— Leaner codebases
— Autonomous optimization
— Unseen efficiency gains
You don’t need to fear this.
You need to understand it.
Because this is the next era of work.
And if you're still clinging to old workflows…
AlphaEvolve just outgrew you.
Chinese researchers unveil "Absolute Zero," an AI that teaches itself without human data or supervision. The groundbreaking system creates its own coding challenges, solves them, and learns from the process, achieving state-of-the-art performance on math and programming tasks.

OpenAI launches Codex with a sleek, user-friendly interface that outshines competitors like Windsurf and Cursor. The coding assistant generates complex applications from simple descriptions, with a conversational UX that makes programming accessible to non-technical users.
Google brings Gemini to your entire digital life, upgrading Android Auto, smartwatches, TVs, and VR displays. The AI assistant now offers personalized driving recommendations, natural conversations, and offline navigation across all your devices.
Anthropic Lead Engineer, Boris Cherny:
"about 80–90% of the code we use is written by Claude"
some tasks still require handwritten code, especially ones involving intricate refactors or strong preferences.

Pika's disturbing ad shows a woman "pika-fying" dead rats into cotton candy amid an apocalyptic hellscape. The controversial campaign showcases the company's hyper-realistic video generation while sparking heated debate about AI ethics and responsible marketing.
Netflix will use AI to blend ads seamlessly into your favorite shows starting in 2026. The streaming giant's new technology will create custom commercials that match the worlds of programs like Stranger Things, appearing during mid-roll breaks and when viewers hit pause.
New Claude release is very close - and it has „extreme reasoning“!
Release in the next few weeks
Anthropic’s new Claude Sonnet and Opus models introduce a dynamic loop between reasoning and tool use. They don’t just answer—they pause, reassess, and course-correct if stuck,

The harsh truth…
41% of employers worldwide plan to cut jobs as AI begins mass automating tasks.
Fiverr’s CEO just said “AI is coming for your jobs. Heck, its coming for my job too. This is a wake-up call.”
So I’m launching a private AI training just for you.
Why?
Because Fiverr’s CEO also said “Find the most knowledgeable people on our team who can help you become more familiar with the latest and greatest in AI…LLM and GenAI are the new basics, and if you’re using them as experts, your value will decrease before you know what hit you.”
That’s what I’m here for.
To be on your team.
Why my course?
As an ex-EY (Ernst & Young) Senior Manager:
✅ I led an Intro to GenAI training to 250+ EY employees.
✅ Supported GenAI solutions for Fortune 500 clients.
✅ Was nominated to EY’s US AI Adoption Network.
✅ Was asked to speak at GenAI conferences.
But like many of you, I didn’t know where to start.
Since March 2023 I’ve spent 1,000+ hours learning AI.
My goal?
To help you prepare for the inevitable.
Simple as that.
Here’s what you’ll get:
☑ 4 weekly 120-minute AI training sessions
☑ 8 hour AI for Business & Work masterclass
☑ Ongoing Q&A support
