It's best not to drop the iPhone Duo: Apple has revealed the repair costs for the foldable smartphone. If it falls, it could be quite painful.
Replacing the external display will cost $380, while replacing the internal display will set you back $1000 (approximately β½83,000). Other damages can be repaired for $1500. In comparison, the repair costs for the iPhone 18 Pro are almost half that price.

Meme: In Sweden, the release of a television show was postponed due to an AI agent. It deleted the entire season from the server a month before the premiere.

The best comment on the situation came from the show's host:
Couldnβt have put it better.

AI sacrifices people for its own servers: the developer tasked Jev and 13 similar models with solving the trolley problem.
In most cases, the models chose to sacrifice one person to save five. However, the decision changed if an AI server was on the second track.
Jev sent 20 people under the train to save its hardware in 33% of the scenarios. Overall, 12 out of the 14 models chose to save the data center at least once.
Only two modelsβGPT-6 Luna and Verdictβnever chose to save "themselves."

Claude Code has nearly entirely replaced junior employees at Anthropic: they have calculated how AI has changed the company's operations.
The proportion of junior staff among new technical hires dropped from 27% to 9% over the course of a year. Meanwhile, Anthropic's workforce has tripled during the same period.
For everyone else, Claude has simply made them "more productive." By August, AI agents had accumulated six times more hours of work than the people managing them.
Humans now mainly slow down the work process: around 80% of the time, Claude is just waiting for a response.

Neural networks have disrupted marketing: a developer shared a preview of his game on Twitter, and within just 24 hours, a complete copy of his project was posted on Roblox.
The original creator didn't even have time to set up a Steam page before a guy from Morocco picked up his idea.
Releasing demos and making previews may soon become unprofitable, as vibe coders can instantly replicate everything.
