Elon Musk makes shocking announcement to revive early 2000s app
Elon Musk announced Thursday that he plans to bring Vine back to life, but 'in AI form.' Originally launched in 2012, Vine was a popular platform where users shared six-second looping videos.

Mexico inflation falls within central bank's target range in early July
MEXICO CITY, July 24 (Reuters) - Mexico's headline inflation slowed in the first half of July, falling back within the central bank's target range and fueling expectations that the bank should continue to bring down interest rates in Latin America's second-largest economy. Consumer prices rose 3.55% in the 12 months through mid-July, data from the national statistics agency showed on Thursday, slowing down from the 4.51% reported a month earlier. The figure also undershot the 3.64% expected by economists polled by Reuters. The Bank of Mexico, which targets an inflation rate of 3% plus or minus one percentage point, cut its benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points in June - its third straight cut of that magnitude - bringing it to 8.5%, the lowest since August 2022. In the first half of July alone, Mexican consumer prices rose 0.15% compared to the prior two weeks, also below expectations of a 0.27% increase. The closely watched core price index, which strips out some volatile food and energy prices, climbed 0.15% in early July, compared with 0.22% a month earlier. The 12-month core rate came in at 4.25%.

Trump suggests new name for artificial intelligence
By President Donald Trump attended an artificial intelligence summit on Wednesday, even as he revealed to the audience of eager tech moguls he was not a fan of the name. 'Around the globe, everyone is talking about artificial intelligence,' Trump said. 'Artificial. I can't stand it, I don't even like the name.' As the audience stared wordlessly at the president, he suggested they change the name. 'I don't like anything that's artificial so can we straighten that out please?' Trump asked. 'We should change the name.' As some in the audience laughed in response, Trump continued, 'I actually mean that. I don't like the name artificial anything, because it's not artificial, it's genius. It's pure genius,' he said, indicating he would prefer the name 'genius intelligence' better than 'artificial intelligence.' The president spoke after the White House released its AI Action Plan on Wednesday, which detailed the administration's efforts to boost the development and innovation of the technology. The document recommends that Trump streamline regulations and permitting to allow companies to build massive data centers and energy sources quickly to help accelerate the AI or 'genius' industry. During his speech, Trump announced he was getting rid of President Biden's executive order which outlined a preference preference for companies who prioritized DEI programs and climate goals. 'We're getting rid of woke,' Trump said triumphantly, adding that, 'It's so uncool to be woke.' He said his goal was to root out 'partisan bias' or ideological agendas from tech companies and artificial intelligence models such as 'critical race theory' which he described as 'ridiculous.' 'The American people do not want woke Marxist lunacy in the AI models and neither do other countries,' Trump said. 'From now on the US government will only work with AI that works with truth.' Trump acknowledged the dangers of artificial intelligence, but described the race with China and other countries on the technology as one the United States had to win. 'This technology brings the potential for bad as well as for good, for peril as well as for progress but the daunting power of AI is not going to be a reason for retreat from this new frontier,' he said.
