A man has locked himself in a room for a year to lose weight. His wife and children communicate with him through the door, and food is passed through a special hatch.

As part of the “Isolation Year” challenge, he must work out and get rid of doomscrolling, alcohol, and information overload. He is only allowed to leave the room in case of a fire.

For one year, I'm cutting out distractions and noise so I can rebuild the basics: my health, discipline, focus and habits. What I've removed is optional stuff — constant scrolling, entertainment, social events and decisions that don't move me forward

This is what an ideal career path looks like. CEO Perplexity had been working at three of the largest AI companies before started his own.

The journey from intern to CEO took 8 years. Srinivas’s net worth is now estimated at $2.5 billion.

The guy was just grinding stats.

Zuckerberg shared a playlist of songs he listened while building Facebook in 2004.

It only has five tracks. Listen here: open.spotify.com/playlist/0Bkc5tE49gOjMrFavC1sN4

Satoshi Nakamoto has become $60 billion poorer. Just five months ago, his net worth was 47% higher.

Satoshi holds 1.1 million bitcoins in his wallet. Bitcoin is now worth $65,700.

The founder of Binance isn’t having the best of times either:

Poor again.
(last time I posted this was when bitcoin dropped from $67k to $30k ish)

A market crash spares no one.

TikTok is addictive, the European Commission has officially acknowledged. The company will need to change the app’s interface.

The regulator believes that infinite scrolling, autoplay videos, notifications, and personalized recommendations can cause addiction in children and some adults.

For example, by constantly ‘rewarding' users with new content, certain design features of TikTok fuel the urge to keep scrolling and shift the brain of users into ‘autopilot mode'

If TikTok fails to prove otherwise or does not change its interface, the company could face a fine of up to 6% of its total global turnover.

The domain ai.com was bought for $70 million. Possibly the most expensive web address in history.

For that money, you could buy 120 Ferrari SF90 Spider cars.

Now we can only wonder who will buy ai.ai.

A Chinese buyer purchased a Telegram username for $2.2 million. This is the highest price ever paid in the history of username trading on the messenger.

The auction was for the username @danbao. Three years ago, it was 12 times cheaper. In Chinese, the name means “guarantor” or “intermediary.”

The site with the ai.com domain went down right after its Super Bowl ad. The project turned out to be nothing more than a repackaged Clawdbot.

$70 million for the domain
$8 million for a Super Bowl ad
$500 on vibe-coding the site
$0 for basic Cloudflare hosting

What could go wrong?

The new Opus 4.6 has appeared on LMArena. Free to use and available in two versions right away: regular and Thinking.

Opus 4.6 outperforms GPT-5.2 and Gemini 3 Pro in almost all benchmarks. A 1-million-token context window is enough to load War and Peace and a couple of scientific papers.

A guy spends $4,600 a month on neural networks. A former Wall Street analyst now manages 22 AI agents that actively write code on GitHub.

The agents make 2,696 commits per week, a regular programmer wouldn’t make that many even in a year. They have their own task system and their own “messenger.” The owner only sets the direction and reviews the code.

Hiring in the current reality looks like this.

A startup by the former CEO of GitHub has raised $60 million at a $300 million valuation. This is a record for a first funding round in the dev tools category.

Thomas Dohmke’s new startup is called Entire. It’s a platform for managing code written by AI agents. Based on his reasoning, Thomas aims to create an alternative to GitHub that’s suited for the era of vibe coding.

We’re moving away from engineering as a craft, where you build code manually and in files and folders — which is effectively what a Git repository was for the last 15 years, right?

Apple is making a sequel to «F1». The film’s producer has officially confirmed it.

The cast is unknown. Insiders say the sequel could be connected to «Days of Thunder». In that case, Brad Pitt would go up against Tom Cruise.

F1 became the highest-grossing sports film. Waiting for F1 2 (or F2?).

A guy has gone on strike against Apple: he says he’ll switch to Android if the keyboard doesn’t become “normal” again.

In his view, the keyboard has been “broken” since iOS 17, and with each update it has only gotten worse — but iOS 26 was the final straw. His full list of complaints:

- Autocorrect fails to correct minor mistakes;
- Autocorrect “correcting” a mistake with another mistake;
- Autocorrect “correcting” correctly typed words;
- Swipe to type is painfully behind Gboard (third-party keyboards are universally under-supported and inferior to Android equivalents);
- “Select All” is often hidden away;
- Selecting text in general is a pain;
- Keyboard seems to run out of steam after hitting an arbitrary word count in apps like Notes or iMessage and takes forever to register taps;
- Key taps register incorrectly: clearly tapping one letter but a different letter is entered (hot spots poorly calibrated), or a correctly tapped letter (keyboard highlight confirms it) but an incorrect letter is rendered.

Apple has 119 days left to fix the issues — that’s the approximate date of the iOS 27 beta release.

Modders managed to shrink GTA V from 120 GB down to 2.5 GB. They had to sacrifice everything: missions, sounds, parts of the map, and much more but the game still runs.

If you wanted GTA V on a smartphone, this is roughly what it looks like.

In Mexico, there’s a town called Xbox. As of 2019, it doesn’t have a single Xbox console.

The name is pronounced “shbosh.” It means “black” and is linked to a legend about a girl who disappeared near a well.

There are no towns called Playstation. +1 for Microsoft.

AI agent Manus Agents is now available in Telegram. It can generate images and videos, build websites, summarize documents, and handle routine tasks through chat messages.

Features include long-term memory, integration with Gmail, calendars, and Notion, plus the full functionality of standard Manus.

It connects in a couple of minutes via QR code, but requires a subscription: manus.im/blog/manus-agents-telegram

AI is everywhere: a professor at MIT checks homework using NotebookLM. He accidentally revealed his grading system on Zoom.

The professor forgot to turn off screen sharing, and students watched as he graded 47 essays in 12 minutes. He simply uploaded his rubric spreadsheet and all the essays, then asked the AI to find “deviations from expected results.”

The neural network even did better than him, because it identified three students who likely cheated. The style of their texts differed from their previous work — a pattern the professor himself would have missed.

It’s still unclear whose side the AI is ultimately on.
