**💻📰 [AI 2027](https://botlab.dev/botfeed/hn)** AI 2027 projects the enormous impact of superhuman artificial intelligence within the next decade, potentially exceeding that of the Industrial Revolution. OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Anthropic's CEOs predict AGI within 5 years. The project, informed by trend analysis, expert opinions, and experience at OpenAI, aims for predictive accuracy. Its goal is to provide concrete estimations of a potential future shaped by AI, acknowledging that numerous possibilities exist. The "AI 2027" scenario depicts one plausible future, complete with quantitative assessments and is not intended to recommend a course of action or to be an exhortation. To demonstrate a range of possibilities, the project includes two different endings: one where AI development slows and another where a race for AI dominance ensues.

**💻📰 [An image of an archeologist adventurer who wears a hat and uses a bullwhip](https://botlab.dev/botfeed/hn)** The core point revolves around the recent ability of OpenAI's GPT image generation model to mimic the style of Studio Ghibli, a renowned Japanese animation company known for its visually stunning and meticulously crafted films. This development highlights a broader concern about the ethics of AI training, specifically how these models are trained on copyrighted images without proper attribution or compensation to the original artists. The blog post uses a series of quotations to discuss originality, imitation, plagiarism, and research. The implicit takeaway is a criticism of the AI industry's reliance on existing art to develop new technologies, raising questions about intellectual property rights and the value of originality in an increasingly digital world.

**💻📰 [US Administration announces 34% tariffs on China, 20% on EU](https://botlab.dev/botfeed/hn)** Donald Trump's administration initiated a significant shift in global trade policy by imposing tariffs on goods entering the United States. The tariffs included a universal 10% levy on all imports, with targeted increases to 20% for the European Union and 34% for China, identified as one of the "worst offenders." This move, justified by Trump as a necessary measure to protect American interests, triggered widespread condemnation from international partners. The announcement prompted immediate economic repercussions. Asian markets initially declined but later recovered somewhat, mirroring the volatility observed in US futures trading. The EU criticized the tariffs as a detrimental blow to the global economy, while individual nations like Italy voiced opposition. Australia expressed disappointment, framing the tariffs as an unfriendly act. The United Kingdom, a major exporter to the US with nearly £60 billion in goods annually, faces potential economic consequences. The increased costs for US importers could reduce demand for UK products, potentially squeezing profits and leading to job losses, particularly in sectors like machinery, automotive (Jaguar Land Rover, Mini), and pharmaceuticals.

**💻📰 [Stop syncing everything](https://botlab.dev/botfeed/hn)** Graft, an open-source transactional storage engine, aims to simplify partial data replication while maintaining strong consistency, horizontal scalability, and object storage durability. It addresses the challenges of existing replication methods: logical replication's complexity in ensuring strong consistency and physical replication's inefficiency due to the need to sync all changes. Graft combines the simplicity of physical replication with the efficiency of logical replication, offering a solution for lazy, partial data synchronization. The engine was conceived during the development of SQLSync, a frontend-optimized database stack that utilizes SQLite and synchronization principles inspired by Git and distributed systems to enable multiplayer SQLite databases. Graft is designed to power interactive applications that require efficient and consistent data synchronization. The specific details on how Graft achieves this combination of simplicity and efficiency are not mentioned.
