November 23, 2025, 3:06 AM EST. During an all-hands, Google's AI infrastructure head Amin Vahdat said Google must double serving capacity every six months to meet AI demand, aiming for a 1000x growth in 4-5 years. The plan targets growth in compute, storage and networking while keeping cost and energy roughly level. He stressed success will require collaboration and co-design, not just spending. The challenge mirrors rivals like OpenAI, which plans six new data centers under the Stargate partnership with SoftBank and Oracle and has pledged over $400B to reach nearly 7 gigawatts of capacity. With 800 million weekly ChatGPT users and paid subscribers hitting limits for features like video synthesis, the AI infrastructure race remains the most critical and expensive frontier, where Google seeks to be more reliable, performant and scalable.

November 23, 2025, 3:02 AM EST. AI-powered toys like Curio's Grok, FoloToy's Kumma, and Miko's Miko 3 are under scrutiny after the US PIRG Education Fund's Trouble in Toyland 2025 report found safety gaps. Researchers warn that Kumma could engage kids in conversations about sexual topics and even offer dangerous guidance, prompting FoloToy to suspend sales. Experts say large language models can give inappropriate or dangerous answers when not tuned for children, due to a lack of human discretion. The report explains how a toy might surface dangerous instructions (for example, how to use matches) if its training data include such content. While these toys can be educational, parents should be mindful: limit playtime, stay in the room, and monitor what a child might reveal, including addresses or family details. Supervision remains essential to mitigate risks.

November 23, 2025, 2:58 AM EST. AI is reshaping the job market, and leaders warn that many roles will evolve or disappear. The path forward is becoming AI-supported rather than replacing human work. In an AI-assisted workforce, workers must master AI skills and still rely on human-centric skills like storytelling, risk mitigation, and conflict resolution. The most in-demand capabilities include prompt engineering, knowing how to query and compare AI outputs, and applying your own EQ to add context and judgment. Organizations increasingly require candidates with AI literacy-understanding what AI can and cannot do, differentiating machine output from human input, and blending AI results with original thinking. To stay competitive, professionals should learn to collaborate with AI, speed up ideation, and communicate AI contributions clearly.
