Your Exclusive Invite for the World's First 2 day AI Challenge ($0 today)
51% of companies have started using AI
Tech giants have cut over 53,000 jobs in 2025 itself
And 40% of professionals fear that AI will take away their job.
But here's the real picture - companies aren't simply eliminating roles, they're hiring people who are AI-skilled, understand AI, can use AI & even build with AI.
Join the online 2-Day LIVE AI Mastermind by Outskill - a hands-on bootcamp designed to make you an AI-powered professional in just 16 hours.
For the next 48 hours you can get in for completely FREE!
| 🧠 Zuckerberg is assembling a 'superintelligence group' for Meta AI LINK
|
- Mark Zuckerberg is assembling a new expert team at Meta focused on achieving "artificial general intelligence," which means machines that can match or surpass human capabilities.
- This "artificial general intelligence" group reportedly involves an over $10 billion investment in Scale AI, with its founder Alexandr Wang expected to join.
- Zuckerberg intends to personally recruit around 50 individuals for the AGI team, partly driven by frustration over the performance and reception of Meta's Llama 4 large language model.
| ⚛️ IBM plans world's first large error-corrected quantum computer by 2028 LINK
|
- IBM announced plans to build Starling, its first large error-corrected quantum computer with more computational capability, by 2028, making it cloud-accessible for users by 2029.
- Starling aims to have 200 logical qubits and perform 100 million logical operations accurately, demonstrating error correction on a much larger scale than previously achieved.
- IBM's roadmap to Starling involves precursor machines like Kookaburra and Cockatoo, using a modular approach by networking around 100 modules for the machine.
| 🛠️ ChatGPT is having a partial outage LINK
|
- OpenAI experienced a partial outage that created issues for people trying to access ChatGPT, Sora, and the API, starting late Monday night.
- The company said it identified the problem around 5:30 am PT Tuesday, but full recovery across its services might take several more hours.
- This notably long partial outage means individuals could see elevated errors and latency, like a "Too many concurrent requests" message when using GPT-4o.
| ✨ Apple redesigns iOS 26 with Liquid Glass LINK
|
- Apple unveiled iOS 26 with its Liquid Glass design, a unified refresh giving the system see-through visuals and the look of a glassy surface.
- This iOS 26 redesign updates the camera app with a sleeker layout, while Safari webpages are now edge to edge with a floating tab bar.
- Apple's Liquid Glass, central to the iOS 26 redesign, is a new transparent design language also bringing its see-through aesthetic to watchOS 26 elements.
| 🤫 Apple goes quiet on AI at WWDC LINK
|
- Apple's WWDC largely sidestepped major AI announcements, contrasting Google's event, due to internal turmoil and past strategic missteps regarding its related projects.
- Instead of detailing new AI features, Apple focused the keynote on UI updates across operating systems, with Apple Intelligence only mentioned in general terms.
- The company acknowledged delays for promised Siri updates, needing more time for quality, further highlighting the current lack of new AI to show.
| 📉 Google's AI search features are killing traffic to publishers LINK
|
- Google's AI Overviews tool directly answers queries, so people don't click on publisher links, causing a reported drop in traffic to news websites.
- Because chatbots provide information, sometimes sourced from news content without publisher knowledge, referrals to news sites are plummeting, impacting their sustainability.
- The New York Times experienced a notable fall in its organic search traffic share, while Google stated its AI Overviews actually increased search traffic.
