Should Apple put Intel inside again? Apple has reportedly held exploratory talks with Intel and Samsung about producing processors for its devices in the United States (www.bloomberg.com/news/article...).
RIP, Sora. OpenAI has announced it will discontinue products that use its AI video models (www.wsj.com/tech/ai/open...), including its Sora consumer app, the Sora version for developers, and the Sora video feature inside ChatGPT.
Would you buy an audio device from OpenAI? The startup is reportedly improving its audio AI models in preparation for the launch of an AI-powered personal device, which is expected to be largely audio-based. Also, it’s common knowledge that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is obsessed with the movie Her.
Amazon has won OpenAI's business. OpenAI and Amazon have signed a seven-year deal in which OpenAI will pay AWS $38 billion for AI compute, including training its models and processing ChatGPT queries using Amazon's data centers and using Amazon’s CPUs to power agentic AI.
Should Samsung double down on AI in its phones? Samsung's consumer device chief, TM Roh, says the company is “open to strategic co-operation” with more AI companies, after recently adding Perplexity to its mobile OS (www.ft.com/content/3752...).
Reddit has sued Perplexity. This is after Reddit set a trap for Perplexity, and Perplexity fell for it. Reddit created a post that could only be crawled by Google, and “within hours,” Perplexity allegedly “produced the contents” of that post.
Anthropic is gaining on OpenAI where it matters most: money. Anthropic has raised a $30 billion Series G at a $380 billion post-money valuation (www.anthropic.com/news/anthrop...). While OpenAI was already valued at $500 billion in October 2025, Anthropic is clearly catching up.

The moment a news broadcast transitioned from black-and-white to full color television on April 14, 1967. Original post
A group of Ukrainian soldiers was attacked by a Russian FPV drone. As it approached, the soldiers opened fire, but they failed to hit the drone, which struck one of the soldiers who captured the moment on his helmet-mounted camera. The soldier lost a leg, but he is alive.
A movie about sacrificing men for OUR GREATEST ALLY in obedience to Trump. (See my Love and War book for a discussion of what I call “sacrificial masculinity.”)
What Stephen Miller is describing is a world in which Iran is doing exactly what it should be doing. That's the only place this kind of barbarism can go.
Motivation is unreliable. Some days you’ve got it… most days you don’t. If you rely on feeling motivated, you’ll be inconsistent. That’s why routine wins. 👉 Same time training 👉 Same food habits 👉 Same structure You don’t think about it—you just do it.
