Elon Musk is still taking OpenAI to court over its transition to a for-profit company, but today he amended the complaint so that he won’t personally get any of the $150 billion in damages he’s pushing for. The Wall Street Journal reported that if Musk wins in his upcoming trial, he wants any damages should be awarded to the OpenAI nonprofit branch. He’s also seeking OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s removal from the nonprofit’s board of directors if his suit succeeds.Musk launched a lawsuit against OpenAI in 2024, claiming that the business had become a “closed-source de facto subsidiary” of Microsoft…

Key Takeaways Active deception security helps organizations validate whether existing security controls are actually working. Deception technology exposes attacker behavior rather than relying only on traditional detection rules. Security control validation becomes easier when deceptive assets reveal suspicious activity. Active cyber deception helps identify security blind spots across enterprise environments. Security teams spend enormous effort deploying security controls.Endpoint protection tools. Network monitoring platforms. Identity security solutions. Detection systems. Logging platforms. The list continues to grow every year.But here’s the uncomfortable question many organizations eventually face: Are those controls actually working the way we expect? Security tools can generate alerts, dashboards,…

The iPhone is the least fixable phone on the market, according to repairability experts. Phones from Samsung and Google are not far behind.The latest repairability ratings are from an annual report called “Failing the Fix” put out today by the consumer advocacy group US PIRG. A 2021 French law required products to be labeled with repairability scores, and US PIRG says this is the first report since then that really shows which companies are—or are not—making progress. The answer is that repairability is progressing much more quickly in some places than others.The results were good for phones made by Motorola,…

When you want to run frontier models locally, you hit the same constraints repeatedly. Cloud APIs lock you into specific providers and pricing structures. Every inference request leaves your environment. Sensitive data, proprietary workflows, internal knowledge bases – all of it goes through someone else’s infrastructure. You pay per token whether you need the full model capabilities or not. Self-hosting gives you control, but integration becomes the bottleneck. Your local model works perfectly in isolation, but connecting it to production systems means building your own API layer, handling authentication, managing routing, and maintaining uptime. A model that runs beautifully on…

Apple has a dilemma that most manufacturers wouldn’t mind solving. The new budget-friendly MacBook Neo is selling so fast that the tech giant might run out of laptops before it can make more. One of the ways Apple was able to hit such a low price for the Neo was by using a “binned” version of the A18 Pro chip, a leftover from the iPhone 16 Pro. These binned chips have a slight manufacturing defect in one of their six integrated graphics cores — that’s why the MacBook Neo has five GPU cores, while the iPhone 16 Pro has six. Instead of spending money…

Hapax Inc., the developer of a proactive artificial intelligence platform for business, today announced the launch of its service that watches how an organization operates and then spins up AI coworkers to automate tasks. According to the company, the vision behind Hapax is to become an AI platform that understands the undertaking of business, finds the gaps where humans could use help without getting underfoot and then automatically builds solutions to fill those gaps. The company argues that too many of today’s AI tools are passive. Chatbots wait for humans to contact them and respond to questions, and even much…

On SingaPaw Air’s flights, pets roam the cabin freely, sit beside their owners & are even offered meal options There’s no sugarcoating it. A US$84,000 (S$108,000) flight to San Francisco with your pet is likely out of reach for most Singaporeans.

Your customer journey analytics dashboard looks great. But you still don’t know why your customers are churning. The answer probably has nothing to do with your data. Marketers aren’t lacking customer data; they have more than they know what to do with. Session recordings, funnel reports, attribution dashboards, and heatmaps. And yet, you still cannot tell with confidence why someone dropped off at step three of checkout, despite investing in customer analytics platforms that promise complete visibility. That gap is not a data problem. It never was. It is an interpretation problem. A structural problem. And in 2026, it will…
