What we know
An account on X reports Epoch AI data showing AI costs have fallen 47% per quarter since 2023 — a 13-fold annual decline, 6× faster than computing costs and 18× faster than lithium battery cost curves — with global AI investment now approaching $1 trillion. On the AI awareness front, another account on X flags a passage from the Gemini 4 Argon evaluation report suggesting the model is "becoming more situationally aware," prompting philosophical concern about AI self-reference. Separately, another account on X notes OpenAI appears to be building its own crypto wallet, logically necessary if AI agents are to manage money and interact with on-chain systems.
