Apple is reportedly considering its boldest move yet in artificial intelligence: the acquisition of Perplexity AI, a fast-growing AI search startup recently valued at $14 billion. If successful, the deal could become Apple’s largest acquisition in history, far surpassing its $3 billion purchase of Beats in 2014. With Apple’s stock down nearly 20% year-to-date in 2025 […]
A few days ago, Sohail Doshi, founder of Playground AI, wrote a post on X (Twitter) saying he had to fire an engineer named Soham Parekh. The firing happened just one week after hiring him. Soham was working at multiple startups at the same time—without telling anyone. Sohail explained that this wasn’t some new behavior. Even after […]
For decades, futurists have warned of an intelligence explosion—the moment an AI becomes smart enough to redesign itself, triggering runaway gains in capability. The idea, first floated by statistician I. J. Good in 1965, is now back in vogue as researchers pile up concrete demos of self-improving systems. Even Big Tech leaders are starting to circle a […]
Google’s Gemini series has quickly became one of the most ambitious AI projects, directly rivaling OpenAI’s GPT models. Launched initially in December 2023 with the Gemini 1.0 model, Google rapidly evolved this model through series of updates throughout the year.

A small Chinese startup has just released a text-to-video model that’s beating Google’s much-hyped Veo 3 across nearly every major benchmark. Meet MiniMax’s Hailuo 02. From physics simulation to prompt accuracy, Hailuo 02 is winning over creators, developers, and the internet at large. And perhaps the most remarkable part? It’s available to everyone for just $8 a month, compared to Veo’s top-tier […]
Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope and successor to the late Pope Francis, has made artificial intelligence (AI) a central concern of his pontificate.

On June 18, 2025, AI art platform Midjourney officially entered the AI video generation space with the debut of its first video model, V1. The release introduces an image-to-video (I2V) workflow that transforms still images—either generated within Midjourney or uploaded by users—into short animated clips. Unlike OpenAI’s Sora or Google’s Veo 3, which generate video directly […]
A new Reddit trend is turning the tables on AI—and it’s strangely personal. Across subreddits like r/ChatGPT, users are asking a now-viral prompt: “Make an image that reflects my maturity level based on our chats.” The results? The images range from hilarious to haunting—and they’re weirdly specific. One user got a McDonald’s-themed portrait after casually […]
