馃幃 PlayStation Network has been down for over 14 hours
LINK
|
- PlayStation Network has been experiencing a complete
outage for over 14 hours, affecting all services including
sign-in, gaming, video streaming, and the store.
- The PlayStation support team acknowledged the issue on
social media but has not provided any updates or explanations
since their initial statement 11 hours ago.
- Other companies, like Marvel Rivals, are in communication
with PlayStation regarding the issue and have assured users
that services will resume once a solution is found.

馃 Ilya Sutskever's SSI eyes $20B valuation without
revenue
LINK
|
- Safe Superintelligence (SSI), founded by Ilya Sutskever,
is in talks for a funding round that may value the startup at
$20 billion, despite having no revenue.
- The company's focus on developing "safe
superintelligence" without commercial products stands out,
with Sutskever leaving OpenAI to pursue this non-commercial
research direction.
- Investor interest in SSI is high due to Sutskever's AI
expertise, and funding discussions are ongoing, with
potential changes to terms expected as talks progress.

馃挜 Apple drops lawsuit against former iOS engineer accused
of leaking Vision Pro details
LINK
|
- Apple filed a lawsuit against Andrew Aude, a former iOS
Software Engineer, for leaking confidential information to
The Wall Street Journal and The Information.
- Aude was responsible for leaking details about Apple's
Journal app and Vision Pro, along with other confidential
company policies and products.
- The lawsuit has been dismissed after a settlement, and
Aude has publicly apologized for sharing sensitive
information during his time at Apple.
|
馃攧 Developer creates endless Wikipedia feed to fight
algorithm addiction
LINK
|
- Isaac Gemal, a New York-based developer, launched
WikiTok, a site that lets users swipe through an endless
stream of Wikipedia article summaries, similar to TikTok's
interface.
- WikiTok provides a random assortment of Wikipedia
articles in a vertically scrolling format, available on both
mobile and desktop browsers, without relying on an algorithm
to tailor content.
- Despite suggestions to customize the article feed, Gemal
emphasizes the importance of maintaining a space free from
algorithmic influence, offering a genuinely random source of
information.

馃攲 Trump administration stops $5B EV charging program
LINK
|
- The Trump administration has paused the $5 billion
National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program,
halting the approval of new funding requests and plans for EV
charger deployment to align with its policies.
- The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) plans to
publish updated guidance by spring, allowing for public
comment before issuing revised guidelines to resume funding
and deployment activities under the NEVI program.
- This suspension risks the progress made by NEVI, which
had improved in late 2024, and could lead to reduced EV
charger installations, impacting electric vehicle sales due
to increased charging anxiety among consumers.
