Welcome, humans.

Speaking of AI video gamesā€¦ youā€™ve gotta check out Oasis from Etched, the ā€œfirst playable AI-generated gameā€, where you can explore and build in environments that generate themselves in real-time:

Itā€™s super trippyā€¦

The craziest part about this whole thing is you can upload an image (weā€™re talking ANY image) and Oasis will generate a map in the style of its game world for you to play. For example, hereā€™s what happened when we gave it a screenshot of our Neuron homepage:

We turned our homepage into a playable game!

Try it for yourself here. When youā€™re done, you can download a video of you playing (like ours above). Pretty cool!

Hereā€™s what you need to know about AI today:

  • We rank the best (and worst) places to be an AI company.
  • Regulators blocked Meta and Amazon's nuclear power plans.
  • Bezos backed AI robot brain startup with $400M.
  • AI now writes 5% of all new Wikipedia pages.

The BEST (and WORST) places to be an AI company right nowā€¦

Hereā€™s a global, interactive map to AI regulations around the world. Thereā€™s also a frameworks / standards tracker, too.

Sundayā€™s story about EU regulations got us wondering about other global regulations. So we looked into it, and this is what we found:

First, we checked out China. Like the EU, China is preeetty cautious. Its new draft regulations state:

  • GenAI content must be marked explicitly (text watermarks) or implicitly (metadata labels).
  • Content categorized as definitely, likely, or suspected AI-generated.
  • Third parties like app stores must ensure tools comply.

What about good olā€™ Murica? Americaā€™s focused on staying competitive, especially in national security:

  1. The White House Executive Order on AI called for federal standards, and plenty of stuff exists which ā€œencouragesā€ federal law-making. But...
  2. The U.S. is light on firm regulations: 690+ bills proposed in 2024 alone, yet few laws.
  3. Right now, the White House is pushing the Pentagon to speed up its AI adoption, and is passing export controls on China.

To drive this home, look at what the private companies are doingā€”OpenAI just signed its first Defense deal, providing tools for U.S. Africa Command via Microsoft, and Meta is making its Llama models available to U.S. security agencies and contractors like Lockheed Martin and Palantir.

If we had to rank it, hereā€™s the Global AI landscape from ā€œMostā€ to ā€œLeastā€ AI-friendly:

  1. United States: most freedom + capital.
    • Pro-innovation stance with encouraged guidelines rather than strict rules.
  2. Asia minus China .
  3. LatAm: mostly following Asia / USAā€™s lead.
    • Brazil proposed 3 AI laws.
    • Argentina + Colombia created ethical frameworks.
    • Uruguay pushing for government AI adoption.
  4. Africa: less infrastructure, but growing talent.
    • African Union just released its first AI blueprint.
    • Only 7 out of 54 nations have national AI policies so far.
  5. Everywhere else besides Europeā€¦
  6. ā€¦and finally Europe.

To our EU readersā€”this just means operating there is hardest, not that there aren't great companies!

Best Buy just identified the next big smart home company to watchā€”and you can invest today.

Best Buy has a knack for picking the up-and-coming tech products that go on to dominate the market.

Their early bets on household items like Ring (acquired by Amazon for $1.2B) and Nest (acquired by Google for $3.2B) have a proven record of paying off.

Now Best Buy is lifting the curtain on their latest findā€”launching RYSEā€™s SmartShades in over 120 retail stores.

RYSE has already:

  • Hit $8M+ in lifetime revenueā€¦
  • With over 40,000 units soldā€¦
  • And the numbers are rising (along with the window shades).

RYSE shareholders have seen their value increase 40% year-over-year, with strong upside remaining as they scale into retail and high-volume B2B channels.

Invest in RYSE at just $1.75/share (before it becomes a household name).

Around the Horn.

  • Meta and Amazonā€™s nuclear power ambitions are getting stopped by regulatorsā€”in Amazonā€™s case, itā€™s because their planned expansion will potentially cause blackouts for other power users; in Metaā€™s case, their new nuclear build out could impact rare bees.
  • Jeff Bezos and some VCs invested $400M in a new startup called Physical Intelligence ($2B valuation) that plans to create brains for robots via AI.
  • New research shows 5% of all new Wikipedia pages (thatā€™s 1 out of every 20) is now written using AI.
