WANT TO PEEK BEHIND THE CURTAIN OF AI?



WANT TO PEEK BEHIND THE CURTAIN OF AI?

Here’s another short video from The Genie Chronicles — and this time, the Genie is pulling back the curtain!

Artificial intelligence can sometimes seem mysterious. You type a few words, hit send, and seconds later an answer appears.

But what’s really going on behind that curtain?

🎬 PEEK BEHIND THE CURTAIN OF AI

This video takes a fun look at the technology that has become my everyday creative partner — the same AI I call The Genie and ultimately wrote a complete book with.

That book became:

📖 THE GENIE CHRONICLES
Day-to-Day Living With Artificial Intelligence
Fred Devellano & The Genie

The videos and the book aren’t about teaching computer programming.

They’re about something much more practical:

What can an ordinary person actually DO with AI?

Writing. Creating. Researching. Solving everyday problems. Exploring ideas. And occasionally arguing with a Genie who thinks he knows everything. 😂

Take a look at the video and then tell me:

Have you ever wondered what really happens behind the curtain when you talk to AI?

🧞‍♂️ Come meet the Genie.

CHINESE HUMANOID ROBOT has beaten USAIN BOLT's 100m World Record

CHINESE HUMANOID ROBOT has beaten USAIN BOLT's 100m WORLD RECORD. The robot, named LIGHTNING and developed by Chinese smartphone manufacturer HONOR, completed a 100-metre test run in 9.32 seconds in Beijing.

That time is 0.26 seconds faster than BOLT's legendary 9.58-second world record, set at the 2009 World Athletics Championships in Berlin. LIGHTNING reached a peak speed of 14.5 metres per second during the test ahead of the WORLD HUMANOID ROBOT GAMES.

The performance comes as China continues to make rapid advances in The performance comes as China continues to make rapid advances in humanoid robotics. LIGHTNING had already won the Beijing half marathon in April, completing the 21-kilometre course in 50 minutes and 26 seconds. Engineers subsequently lengthened its legs by 10 centimetres ahead of the robot games.

Mark Carney suspended the Canada-U.S. trade talks.









THE GENIE INTERVIEWS

Fred: Genie, I just read that Mark Carney suspended the Canada-U.S. trade talks. What happened?

Genie: Fred, the lamp is glowing hot on this one. The talks collapsed after Canada said the U.S. made last-minute changes to the proposed deal. Carney said those changes were unfair, uneconomic, and made Canada question whether any deal could be trusted.

Fred: And Trump’s tariffs?

Genie: That is the fire under the magic carpet. Trump is bringing in 50 percent tariffs on about $28 billion worth of Canadian goods. Carney says Canada will match them “dollar for dollar.”

Fred: So why shut the talks down?

Genie: Because Carney is saying Canada will not accept a bad deal just to say there is a deal. He brought the negotiators home because he believes the U.S. terms no longer met Canada’s objectives.

Fred: What happens next?

Genie: Canada prepares its response. The U.S. applies pressure. Businesses on both sides worry about the cost. And sooner or later, both sides may have to return to the table, because tariffs hurt workers, companies, and families on both sides of the border.

Fred: So what is the Genie bottom line?

Genie: Canada just sent a message: friendship does not mean weakness. Carney walked away because he believed the price of the deal was too high. Now the next chapter is economic pressure, political unity, and the question of who blinks first.

Fred: Sounds serious.

Genie: Very serious, Fred. But in trade talks, walking away can also be part of the negotiation. The lamp is not closed. It is just waiting to see who rubs it next.
