Have a great weekend!<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>And another one:<\/strong> Meta snagged a key OpenAI researcher, Trapit Bansal, to boost its new AI superintelligence team. He\u2019s the same guy who helped kick off OpenAI\u2019s reasoning model work alongside Ilya Sutskever.

With his new venture, Redwood Energy, Straubel is turning yesterday\u2019s car batteries into tomorrow\u2019s clean, profitable power source. And it may be outpacing the company\u2019s core recycling business in the process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>To the moon: <\/strong>CoreWeave CEO Michael Intrator is now worth a jaw-dropping $10 billion, just months after his AI cloud firm\u2019s bumpy IPO. What began as a scrappy crypto mining hustle is now a GPU-fueled AI powerhouse serving OpenAI and Microsoft. But with $8.8 billion in debt and eye-watering interest rates, it\u2019s still walking a tightrope.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Copyright issues: <\/strong>OpenAI quietly pulled its splashy video hyping the Sam Altman and Jony Ive partnership and $6.5 billion device startup deal.

Apple users aren\u2019t happy about the ad, which showed up in their Wallet app uninvited, reigniting complaints that Apple is using core apps to market its own content without consent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Oh my: <\/strong>Just a day after Tesla began giving rides in its new robotaxis in Austin, Texas, federal safety regulators are already asking questions. The NHTSA confirmed it\u2019s in contact with Tesla after videos surfaced showing the autonomous vehicles speeding and swerving into the wrong lane, raising fresh concerns about the safety of Tesla\u2019s unsupervised Full Self-Driving tech, even with a human monitor riding shotgun.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thanks for the help? <\/strong>With AI search features eating into publisher traffic, Google is rolling out a new tool in Ad Manager called Offerwall to help sites make money in other ways, like micropayments, surveys, or even letting readers watch ads to unlock content. Early tests show modest revenue bumps, but it\u2019s another sign that Google knows it\u2019s squeezing the ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Changes afoot: <\/strong>Elon Musk reportedly fired Omead Afshar, Tesla\u2019s vice president in charge of sales and manufacturing in North America and Europe \u2014 and apparently one of Musk\u2019s inner circle members.
