This is big. Apple just filed a lawsuit today against OpenAI over allegations of trade secret theft and breach of contract. The iPhone maker alleged the misconduct was a pattern of theft from OpenAI employees who previously worked at Apple and was directed by OpenAI’s senior leadership, including Chief Hardware Officer Tang Tan
Talk to your AI tools the way you'd talk to a colleague.
You don't send a colleague a three-word brief. You explain the context, the constraints, what you've already tried. But typing all that into ChatGPT takes forever — so you don't.
Wispr Flow lets you speak your prompts instead. Talk through your thinking naturally and get clean, paste-ready text. No filler words. No cleanup. Just detailed prompts that actually get you useful answers on the first try.

Docker’s founders built a one-click magic for open models. Their tool gets them running locally in minutes and they’ve just landed a $65M Series B, plus reached 9M users across most of the Fortune 500.
The uncanny valley now has a price tag. UBTech is mass-producing the UWORLD U1 line, from a half-torso model to full-body editions with silicone skin that reads your tone and processes emotion on-device.
OpenAI’s No. 2 executive, Fidji Simo, is stepping down from her full-time role reporting directly to Sam Altman. Simo has been ongoing medical leave for a neuroimmune condition since April, which she says has been longer and harder than expected. She’s transitioning to a part-time advisory role instead.
Meta has axed a controversial feature that allowed users to modify photos from public Instagram accounts using AI. The feature, which was rolled out earlier this week along with a batch of other AI tools, “missed the mark” and is no longer available, according to the company.
While retail investors chase volatile tech stocks, institutions like BlackRock and KKR are quietly allocating billions to private credit—a market that's grown 19x since 2006 and now approaches $2 trillion globally.
Why? Private credit offers what traditional portfolios increasingly lack: consistent yield potential (Percent's marketplace delivered 14.9% average net returns in 2024), lower correlation to public markets, and shorter investment horizons averaging just 9 months.
With Percent, accredited investors can now access the same institutional-quality deals that were once exclusive to the ultra-wealthy. Start with as little as $500 and get up to $500 on your first investment. Invest like the smart money.

How to turn your PDFs into a Claude skill
Go to Claude Code and upload a PDF you want to turn into a Claude Skill
Extract the main system from the PDF: the steps in order, repeated rules, mistakes to avoid, key questions, and what a successful result looks like
Open Claude and ask it to create a ‘SKILL.md’ using this prompt:
“Use the skill-creator to build a skill from the uploaded PDF. Activate when I ask Claude to [exact task]. Core steps: [paste]. Rules: [paste]. Mistakes to avoid: [paste]. Questions used: [paste]. Success looks like: [paste]. Do not use for: [2–3 unrelated tasks]. Ask me anything missing before generating the SKILL.md, then score the skill out of 10.”
Test the skill with different prompts to ensure it activates correctly and asks for clarification when needed.
Upload it in Claude through Settings → Capabilities → Skills → Upload
Now use your slash command whenever you want Claude to apply the PDF method.
