📊 Reddit chart shows AI replacement fear rising over time at one FAANG

A post on Reddit claims the author polled coworkers at a tech giant every 6 months about whether AI will replace their job.

In the chart, green is “not worried at all.”
Red is “very worried, it could replace me today.”

Across the dates shown, the green share falls while the orange and red shares grow.

By the latest poll, the chart is dominated by worry.

🚀 SpaceX seeks FCC approval for 1 million orbital data center satellites

SpaceX filed a request with the FCC to deploy up to 1 million satellites. The proposal describes solar powered orbital data centers connected via laser links.

The filing uses extreme numbers that are unlikely to be approved and are widely seen as a negotiation tactic. Even a small fraction would still be massive. Around 15,000 satellites are currently in orbit, with more than 9,600 from Starlink.

SpaceX frames the idea as an environmental shift. Ground data centers consume water and electricity, while orbital systems would rely on solar power and dump heat into space. The scale alone would reshape how orbit is used.

🍏 Apple tests a flip style iPhone after its first fold

Apple is already testing a compact flip style iPhone while the first foldable iPhone has yet to launch. The report comes from Bloomberg via Mark Gurman.

The idea is to use the first fold to create demand for the category, then expand into multiple sizes and formats. The flip model would target users who prefer smaller devices.

The first foldable iPhone is expected to sit at the top of the lineup and be more compact than rival devices. The outer display is said to be around 5.5 inches, with launch still months away.

Apple is also exploring a larger book style foldable. Work on a foldable iPad has reportedly hit development issues.

🤖 Unitree robot completes 130,000 steps at −47°C

The trial took place in China’s Altai region.

The robot was sent to walk roughly 100 km across snowy terrain, logging about 130,000 steps. It was fitted with protective outerwear during the test.

This marks one of the first documented cases of a humanoid robot operating for long duration in such extreme cold.

🧠 OpenAI releases the Codex app with parallel agents

OpenAI launched a Codex app built on top of its CLI agent. It adds a visual interface and support for multiple isolated agent threads. Agents can now work in parallel without stepping on each other.

The app supports worktrees for conflict-free testing. It also ships with curated extensions for tools like Figma, Linear, Vercel, GPT Image, and Jupyter. Custom skills can be added on top.

Another addition is task scheduling. Codex can run background jobs on a timer, including CI-style checks.

Free and Go users get temporary access. Paid users received higher usage limits.

🧹 YouTube removes 2 major AI slop channels with 6M subs each

YouTube deleted the channels CuentosFacianantes and Imperio de Jesus. Each had about 6M subscribers and around 1B total views. Another 16 large AI-driven channels lost all published videos.

Both channels focused on low-quality, mass-produced AI content. YouTube had already promised a crackdown on this type of material last year, starting with fake movie trailer channels.

At the same time, YouTube is expanding its own AI tools for Shorts. Users will soon be able to generate Shorts with custom avatars.

🤚 China bans hidden door handles on EVs

China will ban flush and retractable door handles on electric vehicles. From Jan 1, 2027, all new EVs must have mechanical door opening inside and outside. Approved models get a delay until Jan 2029.

The rule follows fatal crashes where electronics failed and doors could not be opened, including cases linked to Xiaomi EVs. About 60% of top-selling EVs are affected, including models from Tesla.

BYD and Geely are already switching back. China is now setting EV safety design rules at scale.

⏰ LEGO clock tracks time up to a galactic year

A YouTube creator built a fully mechanical LEGO clock that measures time from seconds up to a galactic year.

The system works continuously and includes a scale reaching 1 billion years.

A galactic year is one full orbit of the Solar System around the Milky Way’s center.

It lasts about 225–250 million Earth years.

The clock places the universe at roughly 61 galactic years old, with the Solar System around 20 and currently mid-way through the 21st.

The mechanism uses a classic pendulum with an escapement and a weight on a string.

When the weight reaches the bottom, an electric motor rewinds it through a differential so the pendulum keeps swinging.

Power comes from a built-in solar panel that rotates with the Sun.

🎥 Logitech brings AI framing to large meeting rooms

Logitech unveiled Rally AI Camera and Rally AI Camera Pro, priced at $2,500 and $3,000. Both target large conference rooms where speakers drift out of frame and faces get lost.

The cameras use Rally optics with RightSight 2. The system switches automatically between a wide shot, a close-up of the speaker, or a balanced grid view for all participants.

The Pro version adds a dual-camera setup with a 115° wide lens plus a separate optical camera with 15x hybrid zoom and a 1-inch sensor. It supports multi-camera layouts in Zoom and Microsoft Teams, with automatic switching.

This is purpose-built hardware for big rooms, not everyday meeting spaces.

🧠 The man who invented AI

In 1956, one mathematician asked a question that sounded like science fiction at the time:
“What if a machine could think?”

That question gave birth to the term Artificial Intelligence.
That man was John McCarthy.
And that moment quietly started the AI story we are living inside today.

McCarthy did not build startups or pitch investors. He did something riskier. He defined ideas decades ahead of their time.

🔸 He argued that intelligence is not magic or “human essence”, but a formal system that can be described with logic
🔸 He created Lisp, the language used for AI long before Python or neural networks
🔸 He believed real AI should reason, set goals, and draw conclusions, not just predict the next token

When we talk today about AI agents, reasoning models, or autonomous decision systems, we are mostly catching up to ideas outlined 60 to 70 years ago.

The irony is that McCarthy was a skeptic. He did not believe in black-box magic and would likely be very strict with modern LLMs.

But his focus on logic, goals, and agency is exactly what is becoming relevant again.
