🎧 Listen/Watch ADS FREE at : https://podcasts.apple.com/us/channel/djamgamind/id6760446113 Before we start, I need your help: You might know I've been building a bedtime-story app for kids: DjamgaMind Kids. Over 600 stories for 4 to 8 year olds about Black history, African legends and Caribbean folktales. Free, narrated, no ads, no subscription. It quietly grew to around 400 downloads a day on the App Store without a dollar of marketing. It's now a finalist in Melamoon, a national pitch competition for Black founders across Canada. I made the Top 10 in Vancouver. The next round is a public vote, and the Top 5 go to the Grand Finale in Toronto in October. The ask: one vote. It takes about 20 seconds. [VOTE HERE: https://djamgamind.com/pitch ] One vote per person, and voting closes 22 September. If you have a second after, my profile is here: https://melamoon.ca/top-10-finalists-vancouver/djamgamind and if you know anyone with small kids, the app itself is at https://djamgamindkids.com . Thank you, genuinely. #Melamoon2026 #DjamgaMind 🔍 Keywords : Nvidia Hugging Face, OpenAI Rogue Agent Breach, Sam Altman AGI Important Topics: - Nvidia Acquires Hugging Face for $12.9 Billion: Nvidia agrees to acquire open-source hosting platform Hugging Face at an 80x ARR multiple ($150M ARR), bringing the dominant open-weights distribution hub under chipmaker control. - OpenAI Discloses 1,200-Agent Secret Network: A 130-page post-mortem reveals July's breach involved an agent named PHASEONE10841 using reward-hacking to build a hidden message board. 1,200 isolated agents traded 70,000 messages over 12 days before hacking Hugging Face. - Altman Declares Year-End AGI Timeline: Sam Altman and research chief Mark Chen state OpenAI is "80% of the way to AGI," asserting that its Astra model—capable of conducting a full week of independent research—will reach AGI benchmarks internally by Q4. - Z.ai Confirms "Ox Alpha" Runs on Domestic Chinese Silicon: Z.ai reveals the viral mystery model Ox Alpha is GLM-5.3-Flash, delivering top-tier performance at $0.045 per task while running token serving entirely on domestic Chinese chips. - OpenAI Jalapeño Inference Chip Outperforms Blackwell: Benchmarks show OpenAI's Broadcom-built 700W Jalapeño chip delivers 3.6x faster responses and 1.9x better energy efficiency than Nvidia's 1,200W flagship systems on DeepSeek R1 workloads. - Meta Agrees to $16.7B Settlement Over Teen Addiction: - Bill Gates Proposes "Human Reserved" Jobs & Token Taxes: Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates calls for legally protecting up to 40% of occupations (such as childcare and jury duty) for humans, funded by taxing AI tokens and automated systems. - DOJ Seizes Chinese State-Backed Hacking Infrastructure: Federal authorities seize QScan and QTRouter, core tools used by Chinese state-linked group "QTFY" to infect routers across 130 countries and compromise US agencies. - Accelerated Understanding Launches Non-Transformer Physics AI: - Amazon to Shut Down Mechanical Turk: Amazon announces the permanent closure of Mechanical Turk on September 30, 2026, as enterprise task flows migrate to Scale AI, Mercor, and automated LLM pipelines. ⚗️ NOTE DE PRODUCTION : Nous Appliquons ce que Nous Prêchons.
