AI Police Now Exist - And They’re Arresting People

Hey

Every time I pause to catch my breath, AI does something wild again.

This week? A robot (powered by AI, of course) solved a Rubik’s Cube faster than you can blink (in 0.103 seconds), and that’s not even the craziest part.

So "Purdubik's Cube", by a team at Purdue University, broke the previous world record by nearly tripling the speed, using machine vision for color recognition and industrial-grade motion control hardware.

But this mind-blowing speed isn't just in robotics, it's happening across the entire AI landscape.

Let's talk about what's happening behind the scenes...

Sam Altman's AI Timeline

Sam Altman dropped a timeline that has me thinking about my entire business strategy:

• 2025: AI agents doing real work, especially in coding

• 2026: AI making major scientific discoveries

• 2027: AI breakthroughs moving into the physical world

It sounds aggressive, but given the momentum we're seeing, it's not far-fetched. Especially when you look at the infrastructure being built to support it.

The World's Largest AI Data Center Is Coming

The US and UAE just announced plans for a 5-gigawatt data center, one of the most powerful on the planet. For context, that's equivalent to the energy use of a large city, entirely dedicated to AI processing.

Why should you care? Because the foundations of AI are being laid right now at a global scale. If you're not paying attention, your business could get left behind.

Why does this matter to you? Because the big AI stuff is changing faster than we can take it.

Let me prove it.

Thailand's AI Police Cyborg

At the recent Songkran festival, Thailand deployed AI Police Cyborg 1.0.

And it's not just a prototype. This bot comes equipped with:

• 360-degree vision

• Real-time facial and clothing recognition

• Weapon detection

• The ability to deploy drones

It helped apprehend 14 fugitives during its initial run.

This raises many questions about privacy versus security that every AI entrepreneur needs to consider.

What side of this divide will you stand on as you build your products?

AI Memory Becomes Shared, Privately

I recently discovered OpenMemory MCP (Model Context Protocol), an interesting MCP tool that's creating a shared memory for all the AI tools.

Okay, first - if you're completely new to MCPs, ask it in our WhatsApp community and someone will definitely teach you the basics.

Now, let me explain this in the most non-technical way.

It's one brain for all the AI tools you used - ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, even your email assistant.

Yep, adding this MCP to your tools means they all start remembering things together.

Let's say you had a conversation with Claude last month about your marketing strategy. Now, when you're using ChatGPT to write a follow-up campaign, it already knows what was discussed.

Or, if you asked Cursor to help debug a piece of code, that same context could be available to your task manager or note-taking AI.

The best part?

Your data isn't dumped into one big public server. It stays private, and only the tools you authorize can access it — like a shared memory that respects your boundaries.

The Better Reasoning Revolution Arrives

While AI agents are gaining shared memory, they're also becoming dramatically smarter. Anthropic is about to release an upgraded Claude Opus with what they're calling 'extreme reasoning mode'.

Note: This is currently a rumor and may not be confirmed.

If true, this won't be just marketing hype. The new reasoning capabilities will allow Claude to operate in cycles:

1. Think

2. Call tools (interpreter or browser)

3. Analyze results

4. Call tools again

5. And so on

Sound familiar? That's essentially what human reasoning looks like. This represents a fundamental shift from models that simply generate responses to ones that actively think through problems.

Between shared memory and improved reasoning, we're witnessing the emergence of AI that works more like humans, remembering past interactions and thinking deeply about complex problems.

China Bets Big on AI Education

While we're marveling at these technological breakthroughs, China is making a bold societal move that could reshape the future AI landscape.

Starting September 1, 2025, China is implementing mandatory AI education nationwide, even for children as young as 6 years old.

This isn't just a superficial initiative. China's Ministry of Education has developed age-appropriate modules ensuring the complexity matches each student's cognitive level:

• Elementary kids will learn voice recognition basics

• Middle schoolers will explore real-world AI applications

• High school students will dive into sophisticated areas like AI innovation and emerging technologies

By the time these kids graduate, they'll have 12 years of AI education. How will your business compete in 2040 against professionals who've been training in AI since first grade?

That's it for this week.

I'd love to hear what resonated most. Are you more excited about agent memory, worried about surveillance, or thinking about where your business fits in all of this?

Reply and let me know. I'm genuinely curious.
