Bill Gates published a 6,000 word essay Wednesday arguing AI needs real limits. He proposed taxing AI and robots like payroll, and reserving certain kinds of work for humans only.

Gates points to cyberattack, bioterrorism and psychosocial risks, and warns that more powerful models could act against human interests. He told CNN the criteria for reviewing models are basically missing.

Gates says he would back a global slowdown if anyone had a credible plan, but geopolitics and money rule that out. So his realistic ask becomes a payroll tax for robots.

Nvidia has agreed to acquire Hugging Face for $12.9 billion, according to The Information, potentially bringing one of AI’s biggest open-source model platforms under the chipmaker’s control.

Talks reportedly accelerated after another buyer showed interest in Hugging Face, while the startup worked with a bank to evaluate bids. Nvidia has also expanded aggressively beyond chips through recent deals.

Hugging Face would give Nvidia a major foothold in open-source AI software, fitting its push across the full stack from infrastructure and chips to models, developer tools, and applications.

Sam Altman told TIME that OpenAI expects to have a model meeting his personal definition of AGI internally by year-end, while research chief Mark Chen says the lab is 80% there.

OpenAI says its Astra model can independently perform a week of research work from a paper, hitting its 2026 automated-intern target and, according to Altman, producing genuinely new knowledge.

Nobody agrees on exactly what counts as AGI, but autonomous research and meaningful invention offer more concrete milestones. If Astra delivers both, the debate may quickly shift from definitions to consequences.

Google launched Gemini 3.5 Transcribe, its new speech to text model. It strips filler words, fixes self-corrections, formats text on its own, and detects more than 85 languages automatically.

The model replaces Chirp 3 and already powers Rambler on Android and the Gemini app on macOS. Google says it also cut time to final transcription by 70%, citing Artificial Analysis.

Google says the model tags up to three speakers with word level timestamps, and calls anything past three experimental. Great for a two person podcast. Less great for your eight person standup.

Plaud announced the Plaud One Explorer Edition, $249.99 earbuds that record, transcribe and summarize conversations. The charging case carries its own 4G, so recordings upload without your phone or Wi-Fi.

Plaud Agent hooks into Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion and Slack, but the company says only basic voice prompts work at launch. Broader agent features arrive with the Plaud App 4.0 update.

Plaud says recording stays manual and puts the consent burden on the user. So the awkward part of wearing a live microphone to lunch remains entirely your problem.
