So, guess what? Bezos, Nvidia, and some other big shots are getting in on this humanoid robot action by investing in Figure AI, a startup that's making robots look and act more human. They're dropping around $675 million in funding, and the company's already valued at a cool $2 billion. Bezos is throwing in $100 million, Microsoft $95 million, and Nvidia and Amazon's fund $50 million each. OpenAI, the brain behind ChatGPT, is chipping in $5 million. It's like AI fever, with Intel, LG, Samsung, and a bunch of venture firms also jumping on board. And hey, everyone's staying tight-lipped about it for now.

Did you hear about that Brazilian startup using drones to fight dengue? They're releasing sterile mosquitoes to curb the spread of diseases like dengue, yellow fever, zika, and chikungunya. It's like something out of a sci-fi movie, but it's real! These drones can release thousands of insects in just a few minutes, covering huge areas and drastically reducing mosquito populations. Plus, it's eco-friendly and way faster than traditional methods. It's like a high-tech mosquito SWAT team saving the day!

So, there's this Dutch startup called Arctic Reflections, right? They're thinking of using a technique from their skating culture to tackle melting Arctic ice. Like, they want to pump water on top of it to make it freeze again. And they're not alone in this idea - other folks have been looking into it too, using pumps for stuff like making ice roads or exploring for oil. Now, this Real Ice company is doing field tests in Canada, trying to refreeze the top layer of ice to help it grow thicker. They're even thinking of using underwater drones to make the process more efficient. Cool, huh?

Forget coffee perks, now we're talking AI training for stress reduction. Work in the future? It's a chill mix of flex, tech, and good vibes!
