▸ • OpenAI poaches Apple's Vision Pro VP to build AI hardware with Jony Ive
▸ • GitHub Copilot Agent Mode goes GA, turning your IDE into an autonomous worker
▸ • SoftBank's CEO laughs off Elon Musk's orbital data center dreams
Paul Meade, the Apple VP who led hardware engineering for the Vision Pro, is packing his bags for OpenAI. He's joining fellow Apple alumni Jony Ive and Tang Tan to build OpenAI's mysterious new line of AI-powered devices. The brain drain from Cupertino to Mission Bay continues.
GitHub just dropped Copilot Agent Mode into General Availability for VS Code. Instead of just finishing your sentences, Copilot can now take a natural language prompt, read your files, write the code, and run the tests autonomously. The autocomplete era is officially over.
Adam Mosseri is showing off concepts for 'Your Algorithm,' a feature that lets you explicitly tell Instagram what you want to see. Instead of the algorithm just happening to you based on how long you stared at a meme, you can finally negotiate with the machine.
The surprisingly affordable $329 EP-133 KO II sampler just got a massive OS 2.5 update. It brings audio over USB, an arpeggiator, and selectable sample rates so you can finally achieve that crunchy, lo-fi aesthetic without trying so hard.
When asked about Elon Musk's grand vision for orbital data centers, 68-year-old SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son essentially brushed it off. Son, who admits to using ChatGPT up to 20 times a day, is more focused on terrestrial AI making humanity happy than putting servers in zero gravity.
The legendary author of The Handmaid's Tale weighed in on generative AI at a literary festival in Portugal, boiling the whole industry down to a classic computing adage: 'garbage in, garbage out.' It's a refreshing dose of reality from someone who knows a thing or two about dystopian futures.
Indian payments chief Dilip Asbe predicts that AI is going to fundamentally rewire the next era of digital payment growth. He argues that newer UPI apps armed with AI could finally build viable commercial models, shaking up a space that's been notoriously hard to monetize.
This trending open-source project gives AI coding agents a local, ultra-fast index and structured knowledge graph of your codebase. It enables cross-file understanding and call-chain tracing, which is exactly what your agent needs before it accidentally deletes production.
Google Research just dropped TimesFM, a decoder-only time-series foundation model. It's designed for long-context forecasting and fine-tuning in enterprise use cases, proving that LLM architecture is coming for your spreadsheets and forecasting models next.
A new paper in Nature Communications explores using coupled dual-channel memristors to build hardware-native trustworthy Bayesian intelligence. It's a fascinating step toward neuromorphic computing that bakes probabilistic reasoning directly into the silicon.
A company that usually secures bank ATMs has released the TMD Chain Lock, a $280 keyless smart lock for e-bikes. Because nothing says 'I have disposable income' like spending nearly three hundred bucks to avoid carrying a physical key.
Kai Wright, co-host of Stateside, is making headlines for his stubborn refusal to buy a new phone. In an era of forced obsolescence and AI-powered everything, holding onto your old brick is the ultimate flex.
