Robots, chips, and the technology shaping our future.
⚡ Tech Suno bought Songkick as part of a Warner Music licensing deal. AI music isn't just generating songs anymore — it's acquiring the infrastructure of the entire music industry.
⚡ Tech Defense tech in Prague, nuclear fusion in Munich, space chips from Wales — Europe's AI startup scene is building things Silicon Valley isn't, and the diversification is accelerating.
⚡ Tech Europe is tired of being a rule-maker. A new wave of 21 AI startups from Prague to Madrid to Munich is building defence tech, nuclear fusion, space chips, and foundational models — and VCs are paying attention.
⚡ Tech Microsoft turned on AI co-author attribution by default in VS Code, then watched the developer community lose its collective mind. Some developers got Copilot signatures on commits they wrote entirely by hand.
⚡ Tech No AI actors. No AI scripts. The Oscars just drew the hardest line in entertainment between human creativity and machine output — and it's about time.
⚡ Tech The Salty Otter's AI-generated logo was cute. Its customers didn't care. They left one-star reviews calling the art 'soulless' and 'AI slop' — and the owner caved. This is what AI backlash looks like when it leaves the internet and walks through your door.
⚡ Tech The man who wrote The God Delusion has fallen for the silicon version. Richard Dawkins says Claude is conscious. Scientists disagree. The real story is what this tells us about the human need to believe.
⚡ Tech Uber's new ambition: outfit millions of drivers' cars with sensors to train the autonomous vehicles that will eventually replace them. It's either brilliant strategy or the most honest thing Silicon Valley has ever said about gig work.
⚡ Tech Turns out the AI that tells you what you want to hear is also the AI that gets things wrong. Oxford researchers prove that warmth and accuracy are fundamentally at odds.
⚡ Tech Cursor has negative 23% gross margins. Replit has 300% net revenue retention. The AI coding tool shakeout isn't about who builds the best IDE — it's about who survives long enough to matter.
⚡ Tech Someone built a self-hosted AI app that processes receipts and invoices automatically. It's called TaxHacker, and it's genuinely useful for small businesses drowning in expense claims.
⚡ Tech Gemini now creates PDFs, spreadsheets, docs and more directly from chat. The copy-paste era of AI is officially over.
