Thumzup Media Corporation has integrated AI tools GitHub Copilot and Claude AI by Anthropic into its software development process. Leveraging these platforms, the company expects a significant portion of its platform code to be generated by AI, leading to accelerated development and deployment of new features for its Thumzup app.

The move aims to limit China's progress in high-performance computing, quantum technology, and advanced AI, as well as slow down the development of hypersonic weapons. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated that the goal is to prevent adversaries from exploiting American technology for their own military gain. In response, the Chinese embassy in Washington has demanded that the US stop using military-related issues to politicize trade and tech issues.

The subsidiaries, based in China and Taiwan, were listed alongside dozens of other Chinese entities. This move follows a similar action taken by the US in 2023 when Inspur Group itself was added to the list.

The Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI), a non-profit research institution, has expressed shock at the decision, stating it was a "mistake" and demanding Washington revoke it.

The robot, called Figure, uses an end-to-end neural network trained with reinforcement learning to achieve humanoid locomotion. This innovation could have significant implications for robotics and potentially lead to more efficient and agile machines.

OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy described this method as "embracing exponentials" and "forgetting that the code even exists." New York Times columnist Kevin Roose claimed to have created websites and apps using this technique, stating it requires only an idea and patience. Generative AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini Canvas, Cursor, Loveable, Bolt, Replit, and Windsurf are making this concept more accessible, potentially leading to a fundamental shift in how software is created and who creates it.

Scammers use these tools to load malware onto victims' computers, leading to ransomware incidents. To avoid falling victim, users should check URLs carefully and avoid using unknown apps and platforms, as well as online document converters altogether. The FBI advises educating people on how to spot scams and recommends utilizing well-known apps instead.
