We have opinions about your Wi-Fi and everyone else's business. We watch Starlink stats so closely it's a little concerning. Speedify keeps you online. 📶

Oracle’s cloud will now offer Google’s TPUs alongside chips from Nvidia, Intel, AMD, SambaNova and Positron. Six chip makers in one cloud, and my house can’t keep two Bluetooth speakers paired at once.
ANYbotics has started delivering ANYmal X, a four-legged robot built to inspect oil, gas and chemical plants where one spark could cause an explosion. Engineers built a robot that won’t make a spark. My smoke detector still can’t go a week without chirping at 3am.
DeepMind says Genie 4’s worlds can drift over long sessions, and object permanence is still a work in progress. Relatable. Your laptop still “forgets” the home Wi-Fi it has joined every day for three years.
Axiom says its AI agents turned a ~15,000-page proof built by 100+ mathematicians over decades into 43.1 million lines of computer-checked code in 24 days. The cable company still can’t narrow its window below 8am to 5pm.
On Monday the Steam store and community pages loaded fine. The library, where your games actually live, didn’t. It’s the gaming version of Wi-Fi showing full bars and zero internet.
Real Reddit users say the slash. My boss learned that on camera yesterday when I corrected “r OpenSource” to “r slash OpenSource.” I’ve never felt more qualified for my job.
Microsoft and Google are raising dead nuclear plants back to life to feed their AI. Perfect timing for Halloween.🧟☢️
First in the office on a crisp Tuesday morning. Empty desks, a quiet room, and the fastest Wi-Fi of the whole day
Figure went from a $2.6 billion valuation in early 2024 to $39 billion in 2025. This is what the trial and error behind that jump looks like. Nothing about it happened overnight.
Faraday Future demoed its $89K humanoid in Brooklyn Bridge Park on Sunday. It wasn’t autonomous: CTO Hong Rao teleoperated it by remote while it walked, danced and sang to visitors, and the team collected real-world interaction data. The long-term goal is roles like babysitting, teaching and companionship.
Aigen says more than 100 of its solar-powered AI farm robots have logged over 15,000 hours of autonomous fieldwork, pulling weeds without herbicides. That’s 15,000 hours with zero “sorry, you cut out” moments, which is more than my last Zoom call managed in 15 minutes.
Eka Robotics raised $150M at a $1.45B valuation. It says its gripper picks about 1,500 objects an hour vs roughly 600 for a person, and it can lift a raspberry without crushing it. Gentler than the self-checkout yelling “unexpected item in the bagging area” at your raspberries.
Windows XP turns 25 today. Back then we sat through the dial-up screech just to watch a page load one row at a time. Now we hold our phones over our heads in the corner of the room, begging for one more bar.
Claude Duet, Meta’s Muse and OpenAI’s Dots: 3 personal agents. Duet runs tasks while you’re away, asks before it acts and never touches your passwords. Still no agent that can get through a gym’s certified-mail-only cancellation flow.
4.3×10¹⁹ states: ETH Zurich’s quadruped autonomously solved a giant Rubik’s Cube using only its feet, and any scramble takes 20 moves or fewer. I still can’t tell which SSID at my parents’ house is 2.4GHz and which is 5GHz.
128GB of LPDDR5X: Nvidia’s Jetson Thor packs up to 2,070 FP4 teraflops into the brain of its newest reference humanoid. My laptop has 16GB and starts swapping to disk somewhere around Chrome tab 47.
Figure has collected 37.5 million human video uploads for training.
The data volume race in physical AI is just starting.
