A chain of 30 U.S. newspapers including the Sacramento Bee, the Miami Herald and the Idaho Statesman "has started to use a new AI tool that can summarize traditional articles and spit out different versions for different audiences," reports the New York Times.
And the chain's reporters "are not happy about it."
Journalists in many of the company's newsrooms are now withholding their bylines from articles created by the new tool, meaning that those articles will run with a generic credit rather than a rep

В работе с AI‑кодерами постепенно меняется формат задачи. Одного промпта часто недостаточно: агенту нужно не только выполнить разовую команду, но и повторять действия до понятного результата. Например: проверить CI, прочитать лог, внести минимальное исправление, снова запустить тест, остановиться при выполнении условий.Поводом для этой статьи стала заметка Anthropic «Getting started with loops» про циклы (loops) в Claude Code.

According to the Wall Street Journal, SpaceX showed investors an early prototype of a slim, "handset-like" AI device running a proprietary operating system and integrating xAI technology. Elon Musk, however, denied the report, calling it "utterly false." TechCrunch reports: SpaceX, alongside sister company Tesla, does have the manufacturing expertise to pull off mass-producing a bunch of AI devices -- not to mention access to the chips needed to power any...

IEEE Spectrum argues that orbital data centers remain far from economically or technically practical despite Elon Musk's prediction that space will become the cheapest place to run AI within a few years. Deploying SpaceX's proposed million-satellite constellation would require enormous increases in launch and manufacturing capacity, while cooling, radiation, maintenance, latency, orbital debris, and astronomical interference present major unresolved obstacles.
