✈️ United to turn 3 economy seats into a bed in 2027

United plans to let passengers convert 3 adjacent economy seats into a flat sleeping surface starting next year.

The setup, called Relax Row, turns a standard row into a bed-like space for long-haul flights.

It uses existing seats, which avoids a full cabin redesign and keeps costs lower.

Airlines are testing ways to add comfort without changing aircraft layouts.

🔍 Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite builds websites in real time

Google DeepMind showed Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite generating web pages live inside an experimental browser. The model writes HTML and CSS as the user clicks and types.

It processes 2000 tokens in 4 seconds, with 360+ tokens per second. The first token arrives 2.5x faster than the previous version. In one demo, a full AI Maturity Audit page with layout and progress bars is built in 7 seconds.

The model is available via Google AI Studio and Vertex AI. Pricing is $0.25 per 1M input tokens and $1.50 per 1M output tokens.

😱 Ark Invest just dropped some wild numbers

In 2025, AI-generated words officially outnumbered words written by humans — for the first time in history. At this pace, AI will surpass the entire 500-year archive of human-written text before 2030.

And it's already reshaping Telegram. Channels are quietly replacing human editors with automated tools — and one of the most interesting examples is @morty, built by the @maxim team. It finds relevant content on its own, writes it in the channel's voice, and leaves just one thing for the human: hit "Approve".

More media projects are going AI-first. And according to Ark Invest, this is only the beginning.

🤖 Anthropic CEO warns junior office jobs could drop 50% by 2026

Dario Amodei said entry-level office roles could shrink by up to 50% by the end of 2026 due to AI agents. The estimate focuses on routine tasks now handled by models like Claude.

He does not expect full replacement. The forecast aligns with earlier Goldman Sachs estimates of around 40% automation potential in office work over several years.

The shift reduces demand for junior roles as companies rely more on AI for execution. Fewer entry points change how new talent enters the workforce.

🧪GitLab founder uses AI to design his own cancer treatment

GitLab founder Sytse Sijbrandij built a personalized treatment approach after a rare spinal cancer returned and standard options were exhausted.

He gathered full datasets on himself, including genetics, scans, and medical records, and used AI to structure information, generate hypotheses, and find relevant research.

The process became an iterative testing loop, where multiple treatment ideas were explored in parallel and adjusted over time, similar to an R&D pipeline.

He is now in remission. AI acted as a tool to organize and accelerate decisions alongside resources and access.

🌐 Samsung brings its browser to Windows with Perplexity inside

Samsung has renamed Samsung Internet to Samsung Browser and launched a full Windows version, for now only in South Korea and the US. The release adds deeper AI features on top of its existing mobile browser.

One feature is scroll sync. The browser opens pages on desktop at the exact paragraph where the user stopped on mobile.

Another is a built-in Perplexity layer that works with the current page, lets users search through history using natural language, and compare or search across open tabs.

Samsung is extending its browser across devices and embedding AI directly into browsing workflows.

🤖 RAI shows Roadrunner robot that rolls and climbs stairs

RAI unveiled Roadrunner, a 15 kg robot that moves on wheels, climbs stairs, and balances on a single wheel. It switches between rolling and stepping depending on terrain.

The legs are fully symmetrical, with joints that bend in both directions. Wheels can be placed side by side or inline, and can lock for walking up steps.

RAI was founded in 2022 with $400M from Hyundai and is led by Boston Dynamics founder Marc Raibert.

The project is still a tech demo, focused on mobility and control systems.

🤖 Claude Code gets computer use on macOS

Anthropic added Computer use to Claude Code. The agent can now write code, compile it, run the app, click through the UI, find a bug, fix it, and check the result from one prompt.

The feature is available as a research preview on Pro and Max plans, only on macOS for now. It can be enabled through /mcp in settings.

This pushes coding agents one step closer to handling the full loop, not just the code itself.

🤖 Claude Code leak reveals roadmap for autonomous agents

Anthropic accidentally exposed Claude Code source via an npm package, where a source map file allowed full recovery of the codebase.

The leak spread quickly and was confirmed as a real internal CLI platform with ~500K lines of TypeScript.

Inside the code and related materials, future features and architecture details became visible:

🔸 Autonomous agents that run tasks in the background without user prompts
🔸 Proactive agents that can initiate actions on their own
🔸 Multi-agent coordination system for orchestrating complex workflows
🔸 “Auto” mode to execute actions without constant permission requests
🔸 Voice interface support, including speech recognition
🔸 Early work on memory, planning, and “sleep” cycles for agents
🔸 Internal system prompts and structure of agent reasoning
🔸 Dedicated coordinator module for managing multiple agents

⛏️ Global mineral output surges as demand accelerates

A Reddit chart tracking global mining from 1960 to 2024 shows sharp growth across key resources. The data matches Our World in Data, based on USGS and BGS sources.

Lithium stands out at 240K tons in 2024, with near-vertical growth after 2015 driven by EVs and batteries. Cobalt reached 290K tons, and rare earths hit 390K tons, both rising fast on battery and electronics demand.

Copper and bauxite grew more steadily but at massive scale, with 23M tons of copper and 450M tons of bauxite in 2024.

Demand for minerals is rising at an exponential pace, especially for those tied to the energy transition.

The push to save the planet is driving deeper extraction of it.

📱 Telegram adds built-in AI text editor with Cocoon models

Telegram rolled out an AI editor that appears after typing a few words. The “Ai” button lets users translate text, fix grammar, or change style. It runs on open source models via Cocoon Network.

The feature sits directly in the input field and works as a quick rewrite tool inside chats. No separate app or workflow.

The update also brings media attachments to polls, Live Photos support on iOS, a bot builder, a document scanner on iOS, plus labels for unofficial clients.

🚕 100+ Baidu robotaxis stop mid-ride after system failure in China

More than 100 Baidu robotaxis suddenly halted during trips. Some stopped on busy roads, leaving passengers unable to exit safely.

The vehicles run as part of Baidu’s autonomous ride service. The incident shows how a single failure can affect many cars at once.

A similar case happened in December when Waymo vehicles stalled during a major power outage in San Francisco.
