🤯 Hallucinations Will Never Go Away

Hey folks,

Alibaba just dropped a bomb in the AI space with its brand-new model, Qwen-3-Max-Preview which packs over 1 trillion parameters, making it the largest AI model to date from the company. That means Qwen is still in hot competition with the heavyweights like OpenAI and Google DeepMind. Early results suggest it’s not just big but smarter, excelling at tasks like handling Chinese–English text, understanding complex instructions, and keeping conversation open-ended and nuanced. Alibaba is sending a loud message that they are still in the race..

🔥 OpenAI's $115 Billion Contradiction

OpenAI simultaneously dropped two bombshells that seem to completely contradict each other. On one hand, they're admitting that AI hallucinations - those moments when AI confidently states completely false information, will literally never go away. On the other hand, they're planning to burn through $115 billion by 2029 while expanding into backing Hollywood movies.

• The Reality Check: OpenAI's research team published findings showing that hallucinations are an inherent feature, not a bug, of how large language models work.

• The Big Bet: Despite this fundamental limitation, they're projecting $80 billion MORE in spending than previous estimates to reach $115B by 2029

• The Plot Twist: They're simultaneously launching into AI-animated film production, promising "blockbuster-quality movies" more efficiently than traditional methods. "Critterz," a forest adventure born from Chad Nelson’s DALL-E tests, is a feature film set for Cannes 2026.

💡 Takeaway: Don't wait for perfect AI before integrating it into your workflows. The companies winning right now are those finding creative applications where AI's quirks become advantages.
