Maserati Just Told AI to Hit the Gas… And It Broke a World Record

Alright, buckle up. You ever watch Fast & Furious and think, Yeah, but what if Dom Toretto didn’t have to drive?

Well, Maserati just made that real.

The Maserati MC20—this Italian beauty—just set a world record for the fastest autonomous car in history. That’s right. No driver. Just pure, unfiltered AI hitting 180.1 mph (318 km/h) on a track like it had a death wish.

🚀 318 km/h. That’s faster than most of us have ever driven with our hands on the wheel.

How Did This Happen?

A bunch of mad scientists at Maserati teamed up with the Polytechnic University of Milan. Their goal? Take one of the sexiest supercars on the planet and make it go insanely fast without a human inside.

The car had:
✅ AI-powered brain that makes real-time decisions
✅ LIDAR, radar, and a bunch of sensors to see better than your grandma
✅ Some of the best aerodynamics in the game (because, well, it’s a Maserati)

And just like that, the MC20 became the Usain Bolt of self-driving cars.

Why This is Insane

We’ve seen self-driving cars before. Tesla, Waymo, whatever. They all move like careful, law-abiding citizens. Yawn.

This? This is a different beast. It’s not just about making sure an AI can drive you home from the bar. Maserati is proving that self-driving tech isn’t just for safety—it can dominate speed records.

And if AI can handle a supercar at 300 km/h, what’s stopping it from racing in F1 next? (insert dramatic music)

What’s Next?

Imagine pulling up at a racetrack, tossing your keys to nobody, and watching your car set lap records while you sip a coffee.

Or better yet… What if AI racing leagues become a thing? No drivers, just code vs. code, with machines pushing the absolute limits of physics. That’s real entertainment.

One thing’s for sure—Maserati just put self-driving tech in beast mode. And I don’t know about you, but I’m suddenly way more interested in letting AI take the wheel.

Is Excel Dead? AI Just Took Over Spreadsheets—Here’s What You Need to Know

Have you ever stared at an Excel sheet and thought, there’s gotta be a better way? Yeah, same.

Well, guess what? The AI gods have heard our prayers. A new wave of AI-powered spreadsheet tools is here to do all the heavy lifting—so you can stop wasting your life on formulas, pivot tables, and that one cell you forgot to lock.

Here are 5 AI spreadsheet tools that make Excel look like it belongs in a museum:

💡 SheetAI App – Just type what you want in plain English, and boom—your spreadsheet does the work.

⚡ Arcwise – Custom AI models built right into your spreadsheets to automate anything.

🤖 ChatCSV – Talk to your CSV files like they're your personal data analyst.

📊 Numerous AI – It’s like ChatGPT, but inside Google Sheets.

🚀 Rows – AI-powered data analysis, summaries, and automation.

So… Is Excel Dead?

Not yet. But if you’re still manually crunching numbers in 2024, you’re basically using a flip phone in the iPhone era.

Stuck at Work? Want to Build a Business? Here’s How I Got Fluent in AI (Without Spending a Fortune)

Let’s be real—being stuck at work while dreaming about building your own thing is frustrating. Maybe you’re already running a business but feel like AI is moving so fast you’re getting left behind.

I’ve been there. The most disheartening was when I read about seventeen-year-old high school kids earning 1-2 million dollars per year from their room. These guys took time and taught themselves to code, but now you don’t even need that, as no-code AI tools take care of that.

AI isn’t coming—it’s already here. And if you don’t get fluent in it, you’re gonna be that guy still using fax machines while everyone else is printing money with automation.

So here’s the exact path I took to upskill myself in AI, automation, and digital tech—without wasting time or money on overpriced courses. Let's be realistic: Time is real estate everybody has, but you need to use it wisely.

Step 1: Get Comfortable with AI (Even if You’re Not a Techie)

You don’t need to be a programmer to use AI. It is all quite automated now. But you do need to understand how it works. These free courses will get you there:

🚀 ChatGPT for Beginners – Learn how to actually use AI tools to boost productivity and automate tasks.

📊 Google Data Analytics – Data is everything. If you can analyze data, you can make better business decisions.

🐍 Python for Everybody – Don’t worry, this isn’t just for engineers. Python lets you automate boring stuff (so you can stop manually copying data into Excel). I am not fluent in Python, but I can do basic tasks and correct the code generated by AI.

🦾 Generative AI for Leaders – AI isn’t just hype—it’s changing everything. If you’re leading a business, you need to know how to leverage it.

Step 2: Apply AI to Your Business or Side Hustle

Once you know the basics, it’s time to actually use AI. These courses help you integrate AI into your workflow:

💡 Generative AI for Product Managers – If you’re building anything, AI can help you move faster.

🛠️ Generative AI for Software Developers – AI isn’t replacing developers, but developers who use AI will replace those who don’t.

📈 Machine Learning Specialization – You don’t have to be a data scientist to understand machine learning. But if you do, you’ll have an edge.

Step 3: Monetize What You’ve Learned

Alright, you’ve got the skills. Now let’s turn it into $$$.

🔗 SQL for Data Science – Get data-driven and start consulting. Companies will pay you to clean and analyze their messy data.

📊 Excel Skills for Business – People still pay big money for good spreadsheet work. Learn the pro tricks and sell your skills.

🛡 Generative AI for Cybersecurity – Cybersecurity is a goldmine. If you understand AI security risks, you can charge a premium for consulting.

The Bottom Line

AI is not optional anymore. If you don’t learn it, someone else will—and they’ll take your customers, your job, and maybe even your lunch money.

I took these courses and leveled up fast. Some are totally free. Others you can audit for free. No excuses. Stop scrolling on TikTok and learn fundamental tech skills. After this you will just need a computer and time to make yourself financially free!

If you’re stuck at work and want out—or if you already have a business but need to stay ahead—this is the roadmap.

Let’s go. 🚀
