Apple's Starlink Update Sparks Huge Earning Opportunity
Apple just secretly added Starlink satellite support to iPhones through iOS 18.3.
One of the biggest potential winners? Mode Mobile.
Mode's EarnPhone already reaches +45M users that have earned over $325M, and that's before global satellite coverage. With SpaceX eliminating "dead zones" worldwide, Mode's earning technology can now reach billions more in unbanked and rural populations worldwide.
Their global expansion is perfectly timed, and you still have a chance to invest in their pre-IPO offering at just $0.26/share.
Mode's recent 32,481% revenue growth and their newly reserved Nasdaq ticker $MODE puts them one step closer to a potential IPO.
Invest in Mode's pre-IPO offering at $0.26/share and earn up to 100% bonus shares.
| 👀 Apple unveils a new iPad Air LINK
|
- Apple has launched new 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Air models featuring the M3 chip, available for pre-order starting Tuesday, with an official release date of March 12.
- Pricing begins at $599 for the 11-inch version and $799 for the 13-inch option, with color choices including blue, purple, starlight, and space gray, and storage options up to 1TB.
- The updated Magic Keyboard, priced at $269 for the smaller model and $319 for the larger one, includes a larger trackpad and a new function row, and connects via a machined aluminum hinge with a USB-C port for charging.
| 💰 TSMC to invest $100B more in US chip plants LINK
|
- TSMC has announced a $100 billion investment to expand its U.S. manufacturing capabilities, adding to a previous $65 billion commitment for building three semiconductor fabs in Arizona.
- The additional funds will be used to construct three more fabs and two advanced packaging facilities in the U.S., as well as to establish a research and development center focused on chip manufacturing innovations.
- This initiative is set to become the largest foreign direct investment in U.S. history, creating 40,000 construction jobs and tens of thousands of technology positions in the future.
| 🦣 Scientists just created a 'woolly mouse' with mammoth-like fur LINK
|
- Colossal Biosciences has created woolly mice by editing seven genes, giving them mammoth-like traits such as thicker, longer, and wavier fur, as part of their de-extinction project.
- The company has developed nearly 100 of these genetically modified rodents and plans to test their cold tolerance as they aim to create a proxy woolly mammoth from a genetically engineered Asian elephant embryo by 2028.
- Colossal is also working on developing proxy species of the thylacine and dodo bird, with the intention of reintroducing them into their former habitats to fill ecological niches left vacant by their extinction.
| 🎮 People are using Super Mario to benchmark AI now LINK
|
- Researchers from Hao AI Lab at the University of California San Diego tested AI models on Super Mario Bros., with Anthropic's Claude 3.7 outperforming other models like Google's Gemini 1.5 Pro and OpenAI's GPT-4o.
- The game used was modified to run in an emulator with a framework called GamingAgent, which allowed the AI to control Mario by generating Python code based on instructions and in-game screenshots.
- Reasoning models struggled with real-time gameplay due to their slower decision-making process, highlighting challenges in using games as effective benchmarks for evaluating AI capabilities.
| 🩺 Microsoft unveils an AI assistant for healthcare LINK
|
- Microsoft has launched Microsoft Dragon Copilot, an AI tool for healthcare, which uses technologies from Nuance to generate notes from clinical visits through voice-dictating and ambient listening capabilities.
- The AI assistant aims to ease documentation processes by providing features such as multilingual note creation and automated tasks, allowing clinicians to focus more on patient care.
- Microsoft emphasizes its commitment to responsible AI development, ensuring Dragon Copilot is built with robust security and compliance measures tailored for the healthcare industry.
| 🤖 Anthropic raises $3.5B to fuel its AI ambitions LINK
|
- Anthropic announced it raised $3.5 billion in a funding round led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, boosting its valuation to $61.5 billion.
- This Series E round included investors like Bessemer Venture Partners and Cisco Investments, increasing Anthropic's total funding to $18.2 billion, according to Crunchbase.
- Anthropic plans to use the new capital to advance AI system development, expand internationally, and release new tools, while deepening its collaboration with major partners like Amazon.
