▸ • Google drops Lyria 3 AI music model & announces Pixel 10a for March 5
▸ • Etsy sells Depop to eBay for $1.2B (taking a $400M loss on the chin)
▸ • OpenAI & Reliance pour billions into India's AI infrastructure
Reliance is building multi-gigawatt AI data centers in Jamnagar, aiming for 120MW capacity by 2026. It's a massive bet on India's tech sovereignty.
Etsy offloaded Depop to eBay for $1.2B, which sounds great until you remember they bought it for $1.62B. Buy high, sell low—the classic tech strategy.
Arriving March 5 for $499, the Pixel 10a sports 'specs of yesteryear.' It's the phone for people who want Google's AI without selling a kidney.
OpenAI is securing 100MW of data center capacity in India via Tata Communications. They're also partnering with Pine Labs for fintech, because chatbots need to get paid too.
Microsoft is getting serious about glass data storage. Using femtosecond lasers to etch data into glass, they've created a medium that lasts 10,000 years. Finally, a place to store your `node_modules` folder safely for the next millennium.
A leaked email reveals Ring's AI search tool isn't just for finding lost dogs. It's designed to search *everything* in neighborhood footage. Privacy advocates, start your engines.
Freeform raised $67M to scale its 'laser AI manufacturing.' They claim to be the only manufacturer running H200 clusters on-site. It's 3D printing meets heavy compute.
Google's new AI music model, Lyria 3, is now in Gemini. It generates 30-second tracks from text prompts. SoundCloud rappers, your days are numbered (or just beginning).
Bluesky is integrating 'Germ,' a startup's E2E encrypted messenger, directly into the app. Finally, a way to slide into DMs without Jack Dorsey reading them.
GitHub released its analysis of 2025's open source data. The TL;DR? More AI agents committing code, and Python is still eating the world.
Mark Zuckerberg wore Meta Ray-Bans to his own trial testimony. His entourage wore them too. Nothing says 'I take this seriously' like recording the judge with your sunglasses.
Dyson turned its skinny PencilVac into a wet floor cleaner called the 'PencilWash.' It's lightweight, expensive, and probably the most over-engineered mop in history.
