On Monday, Nvidia announced it had signed memorandums of understanding with six of the most powerful financial institutions in the world — Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, and KKR — to assemble more than $500 billion in financing for AI infrastructure. CEO Jensen Huang said he approached only those six firms, and not one turned him down. The…
Tonight at 6PM ET in New York City, Google holds its Made by Google event — and for the first time in Pixel history, you can pre-order Pixel 11 before the event even ends. Google and Best Buy published a countdown timer set to expire at 7AM PT, several hours before the event begins. That…
The AI tool market has exploded. ChatGPT. Claude. Gemini. Perplexity. Meta AI. Copilot. Grok. And now Muse Glimmer, Meta’s new open-source model that runs directly on your laptop. Choosing between them isn’t just confusing, it actively affects the quality of what you get out of AI. Most people pick one AI tool and use it…
Meta made three significant moves this morning. It released a new open-source AI model called Muse Glimmer. It announced plans to open the weights of its most powerful model, Muse Spark 1.2. And CEO Mark Zuckerberg published a sprawling essay called “The Future Is for Everyone” laying out his vision for why open AI is the only way forward….
Nvidia holds roughly 80% of the data centre AI accelerator market. Most people assume that’s because its chips are faster than the competition. The real reason is more interesting — and more vulnerable than it looks. The real reason Nvidia wins is CUDA. CUDA — Compute Unified Device Architecture — is the software layer Nvidia spent…
Ten years. Billions of devices. One email. Google just announced it’s over, and you can’t switch back.
Airport lounges. Hotel lobbies. Coffee shops. Co-working spaces. Public Wi-Fi is everywhere — and connecting to it feels completely normal. That’s exactly what makes it dangerous. Open Wi-Fi networks are one of the most common environments for data theft. The attacks aren’t sophisticated. They don’t require expensive tools or expert knowledge. And most people who…
Last Saturday, August 2, the European Union’s (EU) AI Act transparency rules officially came into force. From August 2, new transparency rules started to apply, requiring certain AI systems to tell users when they are interacting with AI and when content has been generated or altered by it. This is the world’s first binding AI…
For years, the honest answer to “is enterprise AI actually making money?” was: not yet, not really, not at scale. Last week, Palantir made that answer much harder to give. The AI software company reported Q2 2026 results that stunned Wall Street. Revenue surged 93% year over year, fuelled by surging government spending on AI-enabled defence…
Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi dropped a number this week that reframes everything about the company’s future. Uber is targeting a fleet of roughly 120,000 driverless vehicles (Robotaxi) and autonomous operations across at least 15 cities in 2026 — backed by $10 billion in investment across vehicles, infrastructure, and strategic partnerships. That’s not a pilot programme. That’s a full-scale transformation of the…
For years, anyone trying to run a crypto business in Nigeria had to answer to two regulators that didn’t always agree with each other. The Central Bank of Nigeria worried about the naira and financial stability. The Securities and Exchange Commission worried about growing the market safely. Neither used the same definitions for what counted…
A hacking group calling itself ExfilSquad didn’t need months of reconnaissance to pull off AI-Powered cyberattacks on one of the UK’s messiest breaches this year. In early August, it leaked the names, agencies, and work emails of more than 100,000 police staff and government contacts lifted from the Police National Legal Database. No ransom note,…
For twenty years, ranking #1 on Google was the finish line. Get there, and the traffic followed. That deal is quietly falling apart. Google now answers most questions itself, right there in the search results, and increasingly people never click through to find out who actually wrote the answer. The numbers are blunt about it….
