Finance asks about unpaid invoices in #finance. Everyone sees the same colleague respond, and its context compounds across teams. No private tabs, no pasting context between windows. It drafts the campaign, builds the report, and posts both for approval. 12,000+ tools connected. 45,000+ teams run it.
OpenAI's first consumer device will be a new type of home computer for the AI era. The mobile, screen-free smart speaker is meant to serve as a humanlike AI companion that lives in the home. It will be able to control smart-home devices, play media, answer questions, respond to messages, and tap into the range of capabilities offered by ChatGPT. OpenAI envisions the device anticipating needs, surfacing information proactively, and serving as an expert on its user. The product's defining feature will be its personality and ability to connect on a humanlike level with users.
Apple is in talks with PrismML to shrink powerful AI models to run directly on iPhones. PrismML is known for reducing Alibaba's Qwen model from roughly 54 GB to less than 4 GB. The most capable models typically require too much memory and processing power to run on a smartphone, but running requests in the cloud presents security and other issues. Running AI directly on the iPhone reduces delay, lowers cloud computing costs, enables offline usage, and supports Apple's privacy pitch.
Eärendil-1 is a demonstration 'space mirror' satellite with a highly reflective 60-foot thin-film mirror. Built by Reflect Orbital, the satellite will validate technologies that will eventually be used to sell sunlight on demand. The technology is designed to illuminate five- to six-kilometer zones for authorized commercial, agricultural, or emergency use. Reflect Orbital is aiming for a constellation of up to 50,000 orbiting mirrors by 2035.
Terminal lucidity is when gravely ill people have a sudden and unexpected moment of mental clarity. This seemingly impossible phenomenon has been seen in people with dementia, tumors, neurological disorders, and many other forms of brain-ravaging illness. The ability for the brain to - even temporarily - return to mental clarity calls into question scientists' models of what is actually going on in the brain. Understanding the phenomenon more could lead to improved caregiving practices and also a new understanding of the nature of dementia.

The shared language of a software project is the common understanding of what its concepts mean, where the boundaries are, which invariants matter, who owns what, and why the system has the shape it does. This language lives partly in documentation and code, but also in code review, conversations, arguments, and many other places. AI removes a lot of the friction that comes with understanding all of that context. This can result in code that looks strange but works while removing the friction of human understanding.
The backlog is becoming less of a capacity problem and more of a choice as intelligence costs drop. AI allows people to execute a hundred ideas for the cost of one, allowing founders to build them all and find out which ones matter. The constraint shifts from 'can we build it?' to 'can we identify what to build, and can we sell it?' The companies that see this are already flat by design: fewer engineers, larger token spend, faster shipping, and a direct line from a customer's sentence to merged code.
OpenAI was hoping that its hardware would be a key differentiator against other frontier labs. Apple's lawsuit against OpenAI may cause it to rethink its hardware plans. The case will bog down OpenAI's resources for the next several months, or potentially years, and make some would-be partners question their decisions. It may send OpenAI back to the drawing board to ensure any hardware isn't touching anything close to the IP that Apple controls.
AI was supposed to replace human labor, but it has done the opposite. Humans are now cheaper than software for the first time in history. AI is creating more jobs than it is eliminating. Someone still needs to tell both humans and AI what to do.

The first public beta of iOS 27 is now available. It works on every iPhone that runs iOS 26, but Apple Intelligence features will require an iPhone 15 Pro or newer. The update is focused on performance, stability, and making the iPhone feel even better to use. The biggest addition is Siri AI, which can now hold an ongoing conversation, understand onscreen context, take actions in apps, and answer broad questions.
Apple's lawsuit accusing OpenAI of systematically stealing its intellectual property could disrupt OpenAI's device ambitions long before the case is resolved. The claims may cause many Apple employees to reconsider leaving for OpenAI, and that could slow OpenAI's recruiting pipeline, keep more engineers at Apple, and reduce the flow of institutional knowledge into OpenAI. This, along with several other factors, threatens to slow development. OpenAI is reportedly still on track to announce its first product this year with a release in 2027.
The next Starship test flight could take off as soon as Thursday. The mission will be similar to the last Starship flight in May, but there will be real Starlink satellites inside the vehicle's cargo bay. The Starlink V3 satellites will not be a part of SpaceX's operational network. SpaceX engineers will attempt to briefly establish laser communication links between the Starlink V3s and other spacecraft flying in low-Earth orbit, after which they will fall back into the atmosphere and burn up during reentry.
General Fusion recently debuted on the NASDAQ as part of a SPAC merger with Spring Valley Acquisition Corp III. The firm uses a hybrid approach called Magnetized Target Fusion, which combines magnetism and shockwaves to generate intense heat and compress atoms. Its goal is to have a fusion power plant running by 2035. This article features an interview with its CEO, Greg Twinney, where he discusses the company's roadmap.

Apple's SpeechAnalyzer cuts word error rate compared with SFSpeechRecognizer by 3.5x to 4x on the same audio.

Whisper covers far more languages and runs anywhere, but the days of it being the automatic accuracy pick are over.
Many programmers are not as impactful as they could be because they are looking at the code. Looking at the code is suboptimal and often pointless. The amount of code that LLMs generate makes it impractical to read, understand, and edit every line of code. It's more efficient to just control the ideas - how things work, what is the best design, and how to reach a certain level of performance - and then check the implementation for correctness.
Several states are preparing to file a lawsuit to block Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery as soon as this week. The lawsuit claims that the $111 billion deal would harm competition in the market for tentpole films. Paramount says it is prepared to address legitimate antitrust issues and that the merger raises no such concerns. The companies plan to close the deal in the third quarter of this year. Paramount will pay Warner Bros. Discovery's shareholders about $650 million in cash for each quarter the deal doesn't close starting in October.
For most of history, the bottleneck in making something was the grind - acquiring years of skill, raising money, assembling a team, and getting permission. This caused many ideas to die unmade. AI lifts that bottleneck. The future will be full of strange, beautiful, and slightly pointless things made by individuals who share them to see what happens.

Apple has accused OpenAI of stealing secrets about products still in development. OpenAI's new hardware business allegedly asked job candidates from Apple to share details about secret projects and to bring device components and prototypes to their interviews. It used the information to approach at least one of Apple's manufacturing partners, asking them to demonstrate Apple's technique for finishing metal on its devices. Apple is seeking an injunction that would prevent OpenAI from possessing, using, or sharing its trade secrets, as well as an order requiring OpenAI to return Apple's intellectual property.
