πŸ§ͺUS tech offices experiment with nicotine pouches for productivity

Some US tech companies have started placing free nicotine pouch dispensers in their offices. Employees over 21 can take a daily portion from the machines.

According to executives behind the program, nicotine can increase employee productivity by 20–30%. They say workers take fewer coffee breaks and stay focused longer.

The idea is being framed as part of workplace β€œbiohacking” trends spreading through parts of Silicon Valley.

πŸ”‡ Deveillance unveils device that blocks microphones within a 2-meter radius

Startup Deveillance introduced Spectre I, a portable device designed to protect conversations from nearby microphones. The system creates a privacy zone of about 2 meters around the user.

The device scans the environment for microphones and emits signals humans cannot hear. Microphones capture the signals, which overlay speech and turn recordings into noise.

Spectre I uses AI-based signal processing instead of traditional radio jamming and runs entirely on the device. No data is sent to the cloud.

The product is currently available for preorder with a $1,200 deposit, with first deliveries expected in August 2026.

πŸ§ͺFounder uses AI to build a cancer vaccine for his dog

Tech entrepreneur Paul Conyngham created a personalized cancer vaccine after his dog Rosie was diagnosed with aggressive cancer that kept growing despite treatment.

He sequenced Rosie’s DNA and used AI tools to identify cancer mutations. The results went into AlphaEvolve to find protein targets, and researchers at the UNSW RNA Institute turned that analysis into a custom mRNA vaccine.

After injections in late 2025, one of Rosie’s largest tumors shrank by about 50%. Scientists are now preparing a second version of the vaccine to target the remaining tumors.

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡³ Chinese startup builds RTX 4060-level GPU from scratch

Shanghai startup Lisuan Tech unveiled the G100, a GPU built on its own architecture. The company launched in 2021 by three former S3 Graphics engineers who designed everything from the instruction set to the compute cores.

The chip uses a 6 nm TSMC process, 12 GB GDDR6, and about 24 TFLOPS. Benchmarks place it close to NVIDIA’s RTX 4060.

Lisuan has raised $132M at a valuation near $580M. Preorders open March 17 with release planned for June 18.3

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ”§ Nvidia shows DLSS 5 that turns low-quality graphics into photorealistic visuals in real time

Nvidia introduced DLSS 5, a new version of its rendering tech that can convert simple low-quality graphics into photorealistic output.

Similar approaches have been used in photo and video generation pipelines for about a year, but Nvidia brings this into real-time rendering.

The system can take schematic 3D scenes and upscale them to near-photoreal quality during runtime.

This could extend to AI workflows, where simple generated scenes are later refined into high-quality visuals.
