Hi Synapticians!

No, the image below isn’t a piece of modern art experimenting with the emotional weight of the color red — it’s the S&P 500 heatmap after the latest U.S. tariff reform. The markets? Bleeding. Investors? Scrambling. Economists? Confused.
But here's where it gets… interesting.

After the chaos, some curious minds decided to ask the top language models (GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini, Grok) how they would’ve handled the tariff reform. The answers? Shockingly close to what actually happened. So close, in fact, that people started wondering: did someone just ask an AI and run with it?

If that’s the case, we might have just witnessed the first real use of AI in shaping geopolitics. Should we call it … “Vibe Governing” ?
If we had to guess we would say it’s clearly not what happen ! What do you think ?

Top AI news

1. Trump’s tariff math may have come from AI chatbots
Trump’s new tariffs target even uninhabited islands, raising eyebrows among economists and officials. Critics suspect the math behind these tariffs may have come from AI chatbots like ChatGPT or Claude. The method used—dividing trade deficits by exports—ignores key economic factors. Even the chatbots themselves warn against such oversimplified logic.

2. Kindle adds AI book recaps
Amazon has launched a new AI-powered feature on Kindle called 'Recaps' to help readers remember key plot points and characters in book series. The summaries are generated using generative AI and reviewed by moderators. Available now on Kindle devices in the US, the feature will soon expand to iOS. While convenient, some users question the accuracy of the AI-generated content. Amazon claims the recaps are faithful to the original books and aims to enhance the reading experience across genres.

3. Midjourney V7: Smarter AI Images
Midjourney has launched V7, its first new AI image model in nearly a year. Featuring a new architecture, V7 improves prompt understanding, image coherence, and texture quality. It introduces default personalization based on user-rated images and offers two modes: Turbo and Relax. A new Draft Mode enables faster, cheaper image generation. Some features like upscaling are still in development. V7 marks a strategic shift toward user-centric, high-quality generative design.

Bonus. Devin AI launches $20 pay-as-you-go plan
Cognition’s AI coding agent Devin now offers a $20 pay-as-you-go plan, lowering the entry barrier. While Devin 2.0 claims improved performance and new features like code documentation and planning, real-world tests show it still struggles with complex tasks. The plan includes 9 ACUs (about 2.25 hours of work), with higher costs for additional usage. It’s a strategic move to attract new users, but the tool remains best suited for simple, repetitive coding tasks.
