Elon Musk and Sam Altman are going to court over OpenAI’s future

Musk claims he was misled into funding OpenAI as a nonprofit focused on benefiting humanity, only for it to later shift toward a for-profit model. He’s now seeking massive damages and wants the company returned to its original structure, along with the removal of Altman and other top executives.

OpenAI, backed by Microsoft, says the move was necessary to compete in the increasingly expensive AI race, arguing Musk is driven more by control and rivalry, especially as his own AI venture, xAI, trails behind.

The trial is expected to bring rare insight into the inner workings of OpenAI, including internal conflicts, private communications, and the decisions that shaped one of the most influential AI companies today.

With an IPO looming and the AI race intensifying, the verdict could have major consequences for the industry.

Report: OpenAI working on AI-powered smartphone for 2028 launch

OpenAI is reportedly developing its own smartphone, despite earlier saying it wasn’t entering the phone market.

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says the company is working with Qualcomm and MediaTek on custom chips, while Luxshare will handle co-design and manufacturing.

Specs are expected to be finalized by late 2026 or early 2027, with mass production planned for 2028.

The approach is expected to be different from current smartphones. Instead of relying on apps, the device would focus on AI agents that handle tasks based on user context and behavior.

That direction is already being talked about across the industry. At SXSW 2026, Nothing CEO Carl Pei said apps could eventually disappear, replaced by AI agents that do things for users, pointing to phones that understand intent and act on it.

A 23-year-old amateur just solved a 60-year-old math problem—with AI.

Liam Price has no advanced math training, but using ChatGPT Pro, he got a solution to a problem that had stumped experts for decades.

AI has tackled “Erdős problems” before, but this one stands out. Not just because it was unsolved, but because the method was completely new.

The problem involves “primitive sets” and a scoring idea from Erdős. While parts were proven, one key piece remained open—until now.

Price was just experimenting. He didn’t even know the full context. When ChatGPT produced a solution, he shared it—and experts quickly took it seriously.

They confirmed it works, though the proof needed cleanup. More importantly, the idea behind it could apply to other problems.

This might be more than a one-off—it could be a new way to approach math.

🚨 BREAKING: Tim Cook steps down — John Ternus will become CEO of Apple Inc. on Sept. 1.

Cook, who took over from Steve Jobs in 2011, built Apple into a $400B+ powerhouse. Known as a calm, consensus-driven operator, he’ll remain as executive chairman and stay closely involved.

Ternus (50), a 25-year Apple veteran, represents a different style. He’s a hands-on engineer — deeply involved in products, detail-focused, and more decisive in making calls.

Inside Apple, he’s often described as “Tim 2.0” — steady and disciplined like Cook, but much closer to the product side of the company.

The handover has been years in the making, with Cook mentoring Ternus and gradually giving him more responsibility.

So this isn’t a shake-up — it’s continuity, with a subtle shift in how Apple is run: less consensus, more product focus.

Cook steps back. Ternus steps in.

Apple’s next chapter begins in September.

🇪🇺 EU: User-replaceable phone batteries required from 2027

The European Union will require smartphone makers to design devices that allow users to replace batteries at home using basic tools, without service centers.

The regulation builds on rules already in effect since June 2025, which mandate longer battery lifespan, 10 years of spare parts availability, and restrictions on blocking repairs.

New standards also require batteries to retain at least 80% capacity after 800 charge cycles, aiming to extend overall device lifespan and reduce unnecessary upgrades.

Because manufacturers use global designs rather than region-specific models, these changes are expected to influence devices worldwide.

A similar pattern was seen with USB-C, which became a global standard after EU regulation.

As a result, longer-lasting and more repairable smartphones may become common even outside Europe.

Are expensive binoculars really worth it? 👀🔭

A basic pair can take you surprisingly far, and for most people that’s enough to enjoy birdwatching and spot plenty of detail. But the moment you try a premium pair, the difference is hard to ignore—the image looks brighter, sharper, and more lifelike, especially at a distance.

That jump in quality comes from better glass, advanced coatings, and smarter design, along with stronger build and reliability in tougher conditions. At the same time, mid-range binoculars have improved a lot. Today, a few hundred dollars can get you performance that once cost much more.

Still, expensive models pull ahead where it really matters—low light, long distances, and fine details.

So it’s not really about needing them, but how much that extra clarity is worth to you.

There’s a lot of buzz around a new AI model called Mythos — mainly because it’s being kept behind closed doors.

Anthropic decided not to release it publicly, which is unusual on its own.

The model is said to be highly effective at finding hidden weaknesses in software, including long-forgotten bugs. More concerning, it can also figure out how those weaknesses might be used to hack systems.

That’s why people are paying attention.

Some experts see this as a serious warning about where AI is heading. Others believe it’s being slightly overplayed.

Right now, access is limited through Project Glasswing, where a few companies are using it to strengthen their systems before anything leaks out.

No need to panic — but it’s a reminder that AI isn’t just building the future… it’s also learning how to break it.

A birch leaf might look calm — but at its very tip, there’s a tiny war going on.

Newborn caterpillars, smaller than a grain of rice, crawl straight to the tip and claim it as their own. No shelters, no groups — just a tiny silk “bed” and a territory barely a centimeter wide.

They don’t bite or fight. They buzz.

By drumming their heads and scraping their bodies, they send vibrations through the leaf — like a “no vacancy” sign. When an intruder shows up, the signals ramp up fast, turning into intense, silent duels. Most of the time, that’s enough to drive the rival away.

If not, the defender makes a dramatic escape — dropping off the leaf on a silk thread.

Scientists call it “vibratory diplomacy” — conflicts settled without a fight.

What looks like a quiet leaf… is actually a battlefield of buzzing, bluffing, and survival.

France moving from Windows to Linux to cut reliance on US tech

France is starting to step away from Windows in its government systems and move toward Linux.

It’s part of a bigger push to rely less on foreign tech and keep more control over how its digital infrastructure works. Officials are treating it as a long-term shift, not a quick swap.

Each ministry has been asked to figure out how to make the transition by 2026.

Linux is at the center of it mainly because it’s open-source, so it isn’t tied to a single company and can be adapted more freely.

France has already been slowly moving in this direction, replacing some widely used tools with local or open-source alternatives.

It’s another sign that governments in Europe are starting to rethink who controls the software they run on.

Samsung will supply its latest M16 OLED panels to Apple and Google smartphones launching later this year.

Industry sources say M16 will be used in the Pixel 11 series, iPhone 18 Pro / Pro Max, and Apple’s foldable iPhone. It’s Samsung’s newest high-end material set, with upgrades in brightness, color, lifespan, and power efficiency.

The previous M14 first appeared in the iPhone 16 Pro models and later expanded to the entire iPhone 17 lineup. Now Apple is moving to M16 for its premium devices.

Samsung is expected to use M16 across all OLED panels it supplies to Apple in the second half. Estimated volumes are around 50 million units for iPhone 18 Pro models and about 10 million for foldables.

The new material set also means higher value for suppliers like Samsung SDI, LG Chem, and Duksan Neolux, with potential to expand further as Apple usually brings new tech down to lower models over time.
