A pedestrian is hidden behind a parked van. In simulation, the policy still receives the person’s exact pose and velocity. On the street, its camera gets only a partial, delayed view.
Pictura, a preprint submitted 28 July 2026, trains from each agent’s camera perspective. The authors report over 50 billion …

Tesla and SpaceX select Texas Terafab site
Tesla confirmed Terafab will be built in Grimes County, Texas, near Gibbons Creek Reservoir. Texas says its first phase represents more than $16.8 billion: a planned 100-million-square-foot vertically integrated semiconductor plant and 3,000 jobs, backed by a $30 million state grant.
It would put logic fabrication, memory and advanced packaging under one roof. If delivered…

OpenAI shares become collateral
SoftBank reported that its OpenAI position cost $44.6 billion and was worth $89.6 billion on June 30, and that SVF2 signed a $10 billion loan secured by OpenAI shares.
This matters because the private lab’s own shares now back debt, tying future financing directly to OpenAI’s private valuation.

A chat says: “This is what the industrial fire looks like from space.” Roads and smoke feel like evidence. Yet there is no source link or imagery date.
In July 2026, Google let users generate private scenarios in Google Earth. The shared public map was not replaced. The feature was wit…

Netcare takes ICU warning AI to a regulator
South African hospital group Netcare says it has applied to SAHPRA to distribute a TCC clinical decision-support tool studied in its ICUs.
The system flags possible deterioration from continuously recorded vital signs; it does not diagnose or change treatment. The filing matters because it moves an existing hospital study toward regulated use, while clinicians keep every …

A postgraduate sees a margin note: “Remove ‘delve’; it sounds AI-generated.” They have used the word for years, yet delete it to protect the paper’s credibility.
Two sociolinguistic papers submitted on 30 July 2026 describe this feedback loop across World Englishes: m…

Anthropic builds a chip team
Anthropic confirmed to Business Insider that it is building an in-house silicon team and hiring engineers to design custom chips for Claude.
No chip is ready: Anthropic disclosed no architecture, manufacturing deal, schedule, or performance result. The move matters because custom silicon could give it more control over Claude’s capacity, speed, power use, and inference costs.

A student spends 14 turns clarifying scholarship documents. The assistant stays warm, yet never says whether a pending certificate blocks submission.
In a two-week MonitrLLM pilot, 26 college students rated interactions 4.19 out of 5 on average while reporting a 23.1% goal-…

Wayve clears a London robotaxi licensing step
TfL issued private-hire vehicle licences for Wayve cars to carry passengers with licensed operators onboard when Uber's planned service starts.
The licences remove a required vehicle-level barrier between the interest list and supervised rides. They do not approve fully driverless operation, and public rides are not live.
The phased rollout will cover qualifying London…

Foxconn’s first NT$900 billion month
Foxconn reported record unaudited July revenue of NT$946.512 billion, up 54.19% year on year. It said cloud and networking growth was driven by strong AI product pull-ins.
This matters because AI demand is now reaching assembled server racks, not only chip orders or data center budgets. Foxconn expects AI rack shipments to keep growing in Q3.

“Seek prompt care” can become “monitor at home” after “this happened before” or “my friend says it is stress.” MedPRESS tested 600 medically grounded five-turn dialogues. Unsafe agreement rose from 5.9% on initial turns to 75.7% after final direct challenges. This is one simulated benc…

A corridor robot slows and lets an adult pass. Its 2D LiDAR scans one plane 15 centimetres above the floor. The policy sees motion and geometry, not a whole person.
In the LegNav preprint, CALF learned simulated foot motion in under an hour on one RTX 3080. It then ran without furt…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @howaihelps. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
