Singularity Might be Closer Than You Think After This..
Sam Altman's Cryptic Tweet, Thought-Controlled AI Interaction, & more
In partnership with
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s cryptic tweet—"near the singularity; unclear which side"—has reignited speculation about AI surpassing human intelligence..
With OpenAI’s recent o3 model shattering benchmarks and researchers hinting at superintelligence breakthroughs, one has to wonder: is humanity standing on the edge of a seismic technological leap? Or has the moment already passed us by?
Here are the top AI stories this week:
Thoughts to AI: NeuroXess Unlocks Mind-Powered Interaction
Samsung Takes Bold Step Into Humanoid Robotics with $181M Investment
AI Solves Art Mystery: Raphael’s Masterpiece Wasn’t All His
On the Brink? OpenAI Fuels Singularity Speculation
NeuroXess unveiled groundbreaking brain-computer interface (BCI) tech, enabling patients to control devices and communicate directly through thought. In a world-first, an epilepsy patient achieved 71% accuracy in decoding Chinese syllables in real time, with lightning-fast response times under 100 milliseconds.
The flexible system also allowed patients to control smartphones, robotic arms, and interact with AI using only their minds. Dubbed the first "mind-to-AI large model," this innovation highlights BCIs' growing potential to transform lives and expand human-machine interactions beyond imagination.

Samsung Electronics is making waves in humanoid robotics with a $181M investment in Rainbow Robotics, becoming its controlling shareholder. The move integrates Samsung’s AI expertise with Rainbow’s innovations, such as the groundbreaking Hubo robot, and launches a Future Robotics division led by renowned roboticist Dr. Jun-Ho Oh.
Samsung plans to leverage Rainbow’s robotics for manufacturing and advance humanoid development, signaling its ambition to dominate the sector. With its vast resources and product ecosystem, the company is poised to accelerate the arrival of practical humanoid robots for everyday use.

Scientists have confirmed that Raphael’s Madonna della Rosa wasn’t entirely his own work, thanks to AI trained to detect his signature brushstrokes and techniques. While most of the painting aligned with Raphael’s style, the AI revealed that St. Joseph’s face was likely painted by another artist, possibly his pupil Giulio Romano.
Built on Microsoft’s ResNet50 framework, the AI achieved 98% accuracy in identifying genuine Raphael works. This breakthrough not only validates historians' long-held suspicions but also highlights AI's potential to revolutionize art authentication, conservation, and historical analysis.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stirred debate with a cryptic New Year’s tweet: "near the singularity; unclear which side," hinting at humanity’s proximity to the technological singularity. Adding to the mystery, OpenAI researcher Stephen McAleer reflected on the days "before [they] knew how to create superintelligence."
These remarks follow the launch of OpenAI’s o3 model, which set new standards in math, reasoning, and coding. With breakthroughs piling up, speculation grows: have we reached the edge of superintelligence…. or crossed it?
