A developer gave Claude Code access to 100 books and a simple command: "find something interesting." What came back wasn't summaries. It was connections no hand-tuned pipeline could find.
When Google locked AlphaFold 3 behind commercial restrictions, three MIT PhD students rebuilt it in four months. Now Boltz has $28M, a Pfizer partnership, and a bet that open-source can capture drug discovery infrastructure.
The man who predicted the 2008 crash sat in a Google Doc with Anthropic's co-founder. Both admitted what they don't know. Burry sees stranded assets and accounting tricks. Clark can't prove his own tools improve productivity.

The US Trade Representative named nine European companies as potential targets for restrictions. The demand: stop enforcing EU laws against American tech firms. This isn't a trade dispute. It's something else entirely.

Sam Altman's "Code Red" memo triggered OpenAI's fastest major release ever. Ten days later, GPT-5.2 arrived with doubled benchmarks and 40% higher API costs. The gains are real. So are questions about what got sacrificed for speed.
OpenAI declared a code red after Gemini 3 launched. The response: a 40% price hike, benchmark improvements in single digits, and a system card admitting the model lies 1.6% of the time. The scaling era may be over. What comes next looks expensive.
Google launched a research agent and wrote the test that grades it. Unsurprisingly, Google's tool leads the leaderboard. Competitors must now replicate Google's search infrastructure or accept permanent disadvantage on web research tasks.
Disney sent Google a cease-and-desist for AI copyright infringement on Wednesday. On Thursday, it handed 200 characters to OpenAI's Sora and wrote a billion-dollar check. The logic reveals how Hollywood plans to survive the flood.
