Tesla's board is asking investors to approve a pay package that could deliver Elon Musk as much as $1 trillion in stock over the next decade. The deal would allow Musk to receive installments of shares if Tesla hits a series of market capitalization and business milestones. The maximum payout would give him an additional 12% stake in Tesla, but the company would have to reach a market value nearly eight times its current valuation. The unprecedented pay package is aimed at keeping Musk focused on the company.
Apple plans to announce its next-generation iPhone lineup, new smartwatches, and other peripherals at a product launch event tomorrow. There will be four new iPhone models, including what will likely be called the iPhone 17 Air, a model approximately one-third thinner than the iPhone 16 Pro. It will have the same A19 processor as the iPhone 17, but can only support eSIMs due to its thin frame. More about what to expect from tomorrow's event is available in the article.
Sana Biotechnology, a firm in Seattle, Washington, has successfully implanted CRISPR-edited pancreas cells into a person with type 1 diabetes without the need for immune-dampening drugs. The cells, collected from a deceased donor, were able to produce insulin for months. Currently, the only way for someone with type 1 diabetes to avoid dependence on injected insulin is through the transplantation of cadaveric islet cells, but this requires lifelong immune-suppressing drug therapy. Sana's solution bypasses the need for those drugs entirely.
Neuralink could attempt to restore limited sight to visually impaired patients as early as 2026. Blindsight is a brain-computer interface designed to restore vision. It targets the brain's visual cortex to generate visual perception, which means that vision could be restored even for people who were born blind. Blindsight has received a 'breakthrough device' designation from the US FDA.

The best engineering teams develop their own tools while running production code on edge, where progress is made. When programmers are able to directly influence the tools they're working with, they're likely to do so, which makes them learn more. However, this requires being able to immediately use the improvements or bug fixes they helped devise - it doesn't work if they have to sit and wait for the next release. Bug-free frameworks and libraries take work, but the reward is increased engineering excellence.
Chad Nelson, a creative specialist at OpenAI, is making a feature-length movie using AI. Expected to be released in theaters globally next year, Critterz is a story about forest creatures who go on an adventure after their village is disrupted by a stranger. Nelson has teamed up with production companies in London and Los Angeles to debut the film at the Cannes Film Festival in May. The team is attempting to make the movie in about nine months instead of the three years it would typically take. It has a budget of less than $30 million, far less than what animated films typically cost.
Bubbles are false beliefs about reality that everyone eventually figures out were false. The dot-com bubble that popped was the idea that businesses would become instantly rich just by being on the internet. People no longer believe that just adding AI to products will make them instant millionaires. The idea that modern AI will significantly transform business and the global economy, leading to massive unemployment for knowledge workers, is not a bubble.

An ant queen from the species Messor ibericus was observed producing cloned males of another species, Messor structor. The two species split about 5 million years ago. When the Messor ibericus queen makes daughters, she mixes her DNA with sperm to create hybrids, but when she makes sons, she erases her own DNA entirely, resulting in males that are exact clones. The queen had stored the sperm of the other species in her reproductive tract, resulting in sons with the other species' genome.
JetBlue Airways has agreed to use Amazon's Project Kuiper to provide Wi-Fi service for a quarter of its fleet. Customers will gain access to the service starting in 2027. Amazon plans to begin testing a beta version of Kuiper with customers later in 2025 or early next year. Kuiper is pushing to sell future capacity on its network, which is expected to have around 3,200 satellites when built out.
Reddit used a simple and scalable queue architecture to record upvotes that scaled well, but broke in all sorts of tricky ways. The company eventually moved to durable queues, which enabled failed jobs to resume from their last completed step, meaning no data was lost when there were program crashes. Durable queues work by combining task queues with durable workflows, which helps reliably orchestrate workflows of many parallel tasks. Architecturally, they resemble conventional queues, but use a persistent store as both message broker and backend.

Researchers have mapped decision-making at a single-cell resolution across an entire mouse brain. The effort by the International Brain Laboratory, a global consortium of 22 labs, was coordinated by three Princeton labs. The experimental setup involved making mice move tiny steering wheels to control shapes on a screen while recording neural activity using high-density electrodes. The work showed that decision-making is very broadly distributed throughout the brain, including in regions previously thought not to be involved. The coordination of 22 labs worldwide demonstrates the power of large-scale neuroscience.
Thinking in terms of legibility and illegibility explains many of the things that are confusing about large software companies. It explains why companies do many things that seem obviously counter-productive, why the rules in practice are so often out of sync with the rules as written, and why companies are surprisingly willing to tolerate rule-breaking in some contexts. Increasing legibility often lowers efficiency, but its benefits are high enough that organizations are typically willing to do so regardless. Both the legible and illegible are important - the legible allows organizations to do things that would otherwise be impossible, while the illegible allows for high-efficiency work.
No amount of evals will replace the need to look at the data. It's really difficult and time-intensive to evaluate agents' outputs when you are trying to validate complex conversation patterns. Stop relying solely on manual testing and create evals for agents. Tools help simplify things, but you still have to look at the data and build evaluations for your use case. Don't rely solely on standard evals - build your own.
Most people's phone home screens probably currently don't have a lot of AI-native apps, particularly beyond the obvious LLM apps. This demonstrates an enormous opportunity, as it shows how people haven't really started changing the way they work using AI. AI will change the way we build startups, but it's not yet clear how that will happen. This article looks at historical precedents and other factors to try to predict how AI will change things. The best-case scenario is a world where AI enables fewer people to produce more.
