Our 30-Second Summary:
Amazon has unveiled a new AI tool called Nova Act, designed to perform tasks in a web browser on behalf of users, signaling a deeper push into agentic AI and putting it in direct competition with tools from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. Nova Act enables developers to build AI agents that can complete multi-step tasks autonomously, such as searching for apartments or navigating websites. The tool is launching in research preview for developers, alongside a website for experimenting with Nova AI models. This move aligns with Amazon’s broader strategy to expand in generative AI, which includes developing custom chips, overhauling Alexa, and building platforms like Bedrock. The company is also investing in AGI development, with a dedicated internal team reporting directly to CEO Andy Jassy.

ChatGPT’s new image generator is Ghiblifying everything - Morning Brew

Our 30-Second Summary:
OpenAI’s new image generator for ChatGPT paid users has gone viral for its ability to mimic the iconic style of Studio Ghibli, prompting such heavy use that it reportedly strained the company’s GPU resources. Users have flooded social media with “Ghibli-fied” images, including memes, personal photos, and even public figures, with CEO Sam Altman joining in by changing his profile picture. While OpenAI claims it avoids copying the styles of living individual artists, it permits broader studio styles—though this blurs the line in the case of Studio Ghibli, whose signature aesthetic is largely attributed to its living founder, Hayao Miyazaki, a known critic of AI-generated art. The frenzy adds to ongoing legal pressures, as OpenAI and Microsoft face lawsuits over alleged content scraping from media outlets like The New York Times.

Trump has dubbed April 2 ‘Liberation Day’ for tariffs. Here’s what to expect - AP News

Our 30-Second Summary:
Former President Donald Trump has declared April 2 “Liberation Day,” when he plans to unveil sweeping new tariffs aimed at reducing U.S. reliance on foreign goods by imposing “reciprocal” taxes on nearly all trading partners. While the exact details remain unclear, Trump’s proposed tariffs could average 20% and raise hundreds of billions in revenue, though economists warn they could spark global retaliation and raise consumer prices. Starting April 2, a 25% tariff on countries purchasing Venezuelan oil and on auto imports will begin, with additional tariffs on auto parts to follow. Tariffs already in place include a 20% tax on Chinese imports and 25% levies on steel and aluminum, which have triggered retaliatory measures from countries like China and Canada. More tariffs on goods like pharmaceuticals and computer chips are likely, and the international community is bracing for additional retaliatory actions if Trump’s plans go forward.
