AI-powered Pizza? Yes. Ooni (the makers of my favorite outdoor pizza oven) has announced an AI-powered indoor version called the Volt 2. This is actually more exciting than the AI-powered GE Profile Smart Indoor Smoker I got after seeing it at CES.

Pi Day is probably the least important thing you could possibly think about, which is exactly why I think it is important! So… Happy Pi Day! Every year, math geeks (like me) celebrate Pi Day on March 14th (aka 3.14… get it?).
Also: today is Albert Einstein’s birthday, so happy birthday, Albert!

A new study suggests that over-reliance on GenAI may erode critical thinking skills.
Researchers suggest AI tools could be made to foster critical thinking, offering explanations, prompting refinements, and adding guided critiques.

Researchers have trained an AI “reasoning” model for less than $50 in cloud compute credits.
If advanced AI models can be cloned for pocket change, is there a moat for AI giants investing billions?
One thing is certain: AI innovation is no longer exclusive to those with deep pockets. -s
