Hello, Prohuman
Today, we will talk about these stories:
OpenAI’s chief scientist wants slower scaling
N3on launches a 24/7 AI version of himself
Mobile GPUs are getting dedicated AI hardware
Stop Paying for 10 Tools. One AI Does It All.
Most e-commerce sellers are running their store across 6 to 10 separate tools — and spending more time managing software than growing their business. StoreClaw replaces your entire stack with one autonomous AI engine that monitors competitors, optimizes listings, automates marketing, and tracks real profit across Shopify, Amazon, and beyond.
It doesn't wait for you to ask. It runs 24/7 in the background, so you wake up to a full dashboard instead of a list of things you forgot to check.
Connect your store, and StoreClaw gets to work — no prompts, no complex setup, no six-app stack.
Free to start. No credit card required.
OpenAI says the current pace cannot last

OpenAI’s chief scientist says no AI lab is ready to keep scaling at maximum speed much longer.
Jakub Pachocki says progress since 2023 has convinced him that AI could soon play a growing role in improving its own capabilities.
He recalls spending that first night at the office thinking through what increasingly capable reasoning models could mean.
The warning is unusually explicit. The important part is that this comes from someone directing frontier research, while OpenAI is still building more capable systems such as GPT-6 Astra.
Pachocki expects voluntary slowdowns to become common and argues that shared safety thresholds eventually need enforcement by governments, auditors, or international bodies. The warning is internal.
N3on wants his AI double online all day
N3on wants viewers watching even when he is asleep.
The 22-year-old Kick streamer says an AI-generated version of him will run 24/7 whenever he is offline, powered by GPT-6 Astra and Higgsfield.
When he goes to bed, the avatar keeps talking to chat.
That idea has limits. A streamer’s appeal usually comes from live reactions and judgment, so replacing those moments with generated behavior could make the channel feel less personal.
If the format holds attention, other creators will have a strong financial reason to keep AI versions of themselves running between real broadcasts.

How long will viewers care?
Arm is rebuilding mobile graphics around AI

Phone GPUs are getting neural accelerators.
Arm’s new Mali G2-Ultra NX integrates dedicated neural hardware directly into its shader cores, alongside a new execution engine and third-generation ray tracing unit.
In Arm’s Neural Dawn demo, the system delivered up to 4x higher performance efficiency and cut external memory traffic by as much as 70 percent.
That matters because phones have hard limits. Heat builds quickly in your hand, and high-end graphics still have to fit within tight power and memory budgets over long gaming sessions.
Arm says neural frame generation can help sustain gameplay at up to 120 FPS, while its software kit already supports Vulkan and Unreal Engine workflows.
If developers adopt this broadly, AI-generated frames and reconstructed detail could become normal parts of mobile rendering.
The real test is image quality.
