Elon Musk co-founded OpenAI as a nonprofit in 2015 and left its board in 2018, after a bid to fold the lab into Tesla went nowhere. He began calling Altman Scam Altman in April, then sued OpenAI for abandoning its founding mission and becoming what he called a de facto subsidiary of Microsoft. A California jury threw that case out in May on timing grounds. Altman never denied the latest charge and answered it by saying benchmarks put GPT 5.6 Sol on top.

AI is no longer just another feature that Apple's chips need to support. It is now shaping how Apple's products are designed and when they are shipped. The Apple car project was not a futile exercise. The AI hardware effort developed for the vehicle now powers Macs and AI servers. What was seen as one of Apple's costliest failures may actually have been one of its most consequential technology investments.
According to FT, Tencent is leading a consortium to buy back Manus, the Chinese AI agent startup, at the same $2bn valuation Meta paid for it in December 2025. Beijing had ordered the US deal reversed, calling it a "conspiratorial" attempt to hollow out China's tech base. Tencent will take the largest stake but stays a minority holder; Manus keeps operating independently from Singapore.
Stanford University researchers just introduced Biomni built specifically for biomedical science. But unlike standard chatbots that just give you text answers, Biomni actually does the hands-on legwork of research. A scientist can just ask a simple question, Biomni will then go read past studies, form guesses, pick the right data, write the code, and even suggest the next experiments to run.
The AI Futures Project, the nonprofit behind AI 2027, just released AI 2040, a new stress-test of five scenario forecasts of how the AI race may play out over the next decade, ranging from light-touch regulation to a global research halt. The project tests five routes from the same 2029 fork, spanning a full-speed AI race, unilateral delay, confrontation, cooperation, and a global halt.
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.
AI Tutorial
How to upscale any image to 8k using ChatGPT
You don’t need expensive photo-editing software to improve your images. You can use ChatGPT to enhance a photo, making it clearer, sharper, and more detailed. Here is how:
Go to ChatGPT and sign in to your account.
Click the plus (+) button next to the message box, then upload the image you want to improve. For the best result, use the original image instead of a screenshot or a social media copy.
Paste This Prompt:
“Enhance and upscale this image to 8K quality. Improve sharpness, clarity, texture, lighting, and fine details while preserving the original subject, composition, facial features, colours, and overall appearance. Reduce blur, grain, pixelation, compression marks, and visual noise. Restore small details in the skin, hair, clothing, background, and surrounding objects without creating artificial textures. Correct exposure, contrast, colour balance, and white balance for a clean and natural result. Keep skin tones realistic and avoid excessive smoothing, sharpening, or dramatic colour changes. The final image should appear highly detailed, balanced, realistic, and professionally enhanced while remaining faithful to the original photograph.”
Wait for ChatGPT to process the image. It will create a clearer and more detailed version based on your instructions.
Review the Result. Check the face, skin colour, hair, clothing, lighting, background, and small details. Make sure no objects or facial features were changed.
