Elon Musk’s AI, Grok, posted a quirky job ad. What human help is it after?

A snack taste-tester for robots

A cloud-whisperer who talks to servers

A human video-game tutor to train Grok on game design

A professional emoji translator

xAI (Elon Musk’s lab) advertised paid “Video Games Tutor” roles to guide Grok with feedback on mechanics, story and balance. It’s supervised learning with humans showing the AI how good games work. Yes, people really can get paid to help an AI “learn to play.”

What is Sam Altman (OpenAI’s boss) busy doing on his latest trip?

Auditioning to play a robot in a movie

Meeting chipmakers and investors to fund more AI infrastructure

What new tool did the UK’s Ministry of Defence buy that uses AI to keep its kit in top shape - like a very serious “robot mechanic”?

An AI platform to predict repairs and manage parts

A helmet that tells jokes during drills

A drone that irons uniforms

A chatbot that names tanks

The MoD awarded a £320m contract for DEEAMS, an AI-enabled system with real-time data to manage spares, forecast maintenance and replace many older tools. It should improve readiness and cut costs across complex equipment fleets.

5 .

The Mega Compute Club

Why did the European Central Bank pick a Portuguese AI start-up for its “digital euro” project?

To help prevent fraud in the digital euro project

To design euro banknotes with cartoons

To build a new banking app for kids

To run a meme contest about money

The ECB selected Feedzai (with PwC) to provide risk and fraud-management tools for the digital euro preparation phase, flagging suspicious patterns so investigators can act faster. That’s about safety and trust in digital payments.

In this week’s legal drama, what did Apple ask a judge to do about Elon Musk’s xAI lawsuit over ChatGPT on iPhones?

Pause the case for a year

Dismiss the lawsuit entirely

Move the case to a different court

Force Apple to use Grok instead of ChatGPT
