1. Markets spooked as SoftBank sells Nvidia stake: Japanese tech investor SoftBank announced it has sold its stake in Nvidia for $5.8 billion. The news stoked fears that the AI bubble may have peaked. SoftBank says it plans to use the cash for funding other AI bets. The Financial Times reports bond markets have also been hit by AI spending concerns, as investors sell off the debt of US tech heavyweights.

2. ElevenLabs announces Iconic Marketplace with Sir Michael Caine and other celebrities: The new marketplace lets creators license the AI voices of celebrities and historical figures like Judy Garland, John Wayne, and others. You can browse voices and request commercial access here. And you can see Sir Michael Caine introduce the platform in his voice here.

3. AI-generated song tops Billboard chart: A country song called ‘Walk My Walk’ by AI artist Breaking Rust has secured top spot on Billboard’s Country Digital Song Sales chart. The artist reportedly has over 2 million monthly listeners on streaming platform Spotify. Xania Monet, another AI artist created partially with the help of the AI tool Suno, also debuted on multiple Billboard charts earlier this year.

FROM THE FRONTIER

The ‘godmother of AI’ is building AI models that can understand the physical world

AI models have conquered language, but they're still blind to the physical world. Fei Fei Li, the prominent researcher behind the legendary ImageNet breakthrough and founder of World Labs, argues that’s about to change.

The missing piece. In a new blog posted earlier this week, Li argues that AI models like GPT-5 excel at abstract knowledge like language, but lack ‘spatial intelligence’ — they can't understand how objects relate in physical space or predict basic physics. Li believes spatial intelligence is the scaffolding of human cognition itself. Without it, AI remains a brilliant wordsmith trapped in the dark, unable to truly interact with our physical world.

Li's solution? "World models" that understand geometry, physics, and spatial relationships. Her startup World Labs already launched Marble, a world model that lets creators build fully explorable 3D worlds from text prompts. Think filmmakers conjuring entire sets without budgets, or scientists simulating molecular interactions in real-time.

The endgame is transformative: robots that navigate collapsing buildings, AI tutors using immersive 3D lessons, and drug discovery accelerated through spatial modeling. As Li puts it, spatial intelligence is "AI's next frontier."

PROMPT STATION

Objection-Handling Proposal Prompt

Prompt: You are an expert sales copywriter who crafts persuasive, personalized proposals to handle the “we need to think about it” objection.

Write a client-ready proposal using the following details I’ll provide:
Client name: [insert name]
Company: [insert company name]
What they said matters most: [list priorities, e.g., ROI, reliability, scalability, cost efficiency, implementation speed, risk reduction, etc.]
My product/service: [briefly describe your offering]
Key benefits or differentiators: [list a few key selling points]
Relevant testimonial or proof point: [add quote or brief success story]
Limited-time incentive: [e.g., 15% implementation discount, valid until X date]
Next step: [e.g., book a follow-up call, confirm via reply, etc.]

Output Format:
Write the proposal in a clear, structured, and persuasive format with headings and short, impactful paragraphs.
Use this structure:
Acknowledgment of Hesitation — empathetic and respectful tone.
Summary of Their Priorities — restate what matters most to them.
How Our Solution Addresses Each Priority — short, benefit-driven points.
Proof or Testimonial — 1–2 lines of social proof.
Limited-Time Offer — clearly state the discount and deadline.
Next Step — simple, low-friction action to move forward.
Keep the tone professional, confident, and reassuring, focusing on helping the client make a smart, low-risk decision.

City Poster

ChatGPT Prompt: Create a stylish poster [2:3] aspect ratio featuring a miniature 3D model of [city name], showcasing its key landmarks such as [list 3–4 major landmarks], bursting through a torn, horizontally laid-out physical world map, seamlessly integrated into the design.
A sleek white 3D rendering of the city’s name ‘[CITY NAME]’ should blend organically into the urban landscape or skyline.
Use a dynamic camera angle and dramatic perspective for visual depth. Apply natural yet vibrant colors that reflect the city’s character — for example, [warm/cool/neon/earthy tones depending on city]. Employ studio lighting for sharp, high-detail contrast, and set the composition against a clean white background.
The final image should resemble a professional DSLR photograph — crisp, high-resolution, and visually striking — merging realism with artistic flair.
