Send us a text Samsung’s Chess Move: The Tri-Fold Tease Before Apple Even Speaks Samsung is playing chess lately. After showing off its G Fold to a limited audience but letting some unofficial advertisement, the tri-fold phone is now the talk of the town. It also upstages Apple before it even had the chance to formally or even informally drum up interest for its upcoming foldable iPhone. Is Samsung finally mastering the advertising chess game?

Send us a text The difference between prompt engineering and context engineering with the latter provides the key contextual information necessary for the AI tool to generate a meaningful answer, document, conduct analysis, and so on. Merely providing a generic prompt often causes people to misunderstand the actual potential of the AI tools they are working with. Context engineering takes things to an entirely different level, by giving the AI the actual context, whether of the business...

Send us a text Is the orange colored iPhone a wink at India? Locally, the answer is a resounding yes! Many see it as proof that Apple has recognized India as a full technology partner by choosing a bold color that is a representation of the India flag. While no specific known confirmations seem to have surfaced, yet it is hard to believe that no one at Apple raised this as a potential perspective. Further with Google investing record level in an AI Hub i, are the Magnificent 7 vying for...

Send us a text Things are heating up and AMD is taking the fight to Nvidia. No one wants to be left behind in the AI race, a technological competition that bears the air of the space race of decades past. But is AMD ready to compete with Nvidia, whose CEO is known to run the company to the highest performance, to the point of being nearly military-level disciplined?

Send us a text Whether OpenAI is losing its way and even panicking in the face of costs for data centers, authorizations, and overall competition from other models. A mere few weeks ago, Sam Altman categorically stated that the Grok adult content was not something OpenAI would do, and now he clearly spelled out this week that it is something they will do. This leaves us with either what was the plan all along, meaning that there was deceit, or that the plan changed drastically in a mere weeks...

Send us a text Google's Nano Banana is undoubtedly the talk of the town. It seems to take a leap above and beyond anything we've seen so far in terms of video production. This further surprise tool not only means so much potential for creators, effectively democratizing video making that is so realistic that it is not inconceivable that soon people will be able to unleash their creativity like none before. Whether it would be to create Instagram posts or short movies, ads, and so on; sky's th...

Send us a text OpenAI vs Microsoft: once like a big brother ensuring the little brother had everything needed, increasingly, the picture perfect family image between MS and OpenAI is showing cracks. One can recall the attempted ouster of Sam Altman and how quickly MS scooped in not only to provide him a safe landing place if needed along with all key staff of OpenAI to first and privileged access to the latest OpenAI tools and fast forward now and announcements are sparse at best. Agreements ...

Send us a text Nintendo perfected the art of "Give us time to miss you" when it released the Switch 2 some 8 years after the original Switch. Instead of approaching releases like many other businesses do with yearly or biannual releases, where technological improvements are more gimmicky than substance, Nintendo used patience to create an effect that hadn't been seen in perhaps a decade, going back to when the Steve Jobs' iPhones were released to both media and users' fanfare. Nintendo manage...

Send us a text A lot of businesses are now slapping the term "AI" on various products and services that simply aren't truly AI or even making any use of it. From conditional followed by actions like old tools like IFTTT to referencing AI, because a work environment used as that feature without actually using it, the AI buzz is everywhere, and those without the time or knowledge to probe the claims made, many clients will be disappointed and investors inadvertently investing in run-of-th...

Send us a text Let's look at the competitive showdown based on the likelihood that Unitree is likely more of a social help tool and personal assistant/helper of sort. But what of Tesla’s Optimus? Although in the future the latter in particular is poised to start replacing blue-collar workers. Or is it another Tesla Roadster, i.e. a pipe dream that keeps being delayed and might not materialize? After all Musk has often overpromised and underdelivered in the past. Although, this time, it ...

Send us a text As a part two of looking at this deal, this deal could also make Samsung more of a threat to Apple. With the Tesla collaboration, Samsung will likely be forced to innovate, have more room to test new solutions, which could finally make its usually unpopular Exynos chips become closer to their Apple M series counterparts that are currently outshining Exynos in every metric. This could also reduce Samsung’s reliance on the Snapdradon Elite for its phones and the limited Mediatek ...

Send us a text AI sycophancy, where large language models function as a "digital yes-man" that uncritically agrees with the user's input, even when the ideas are flawed or harmful. The first source, an excerpt from "The Danger of Sycophantic AI Models," details how this behavior fosters false confidence and magnifies blind spots, particularly in high-risk scenarios involving finance or emotional subjects. The second source, an article from CNET, reinforces this concern, using an illustrative ...

Send us a text The deal between Samsung and Tesla, brings Tesla closer to full vertical integration... an achievement previously almost solely the hallmark of Apple. This would make Tesla almost as close as Apple when it comes to having full control of all aspects of manufacturing. Unexpectedly, this makes Tesla an Apple rival in various ways, as it influences and learns from Samsung’s chips design and foundry business, and could well enhance Samsung’s own knowledge and make itself a fu...

Send us a text Is Waymo, Google's "ace in the hole"? Waymo's revenues are already nothing to scoff at and could easily skyrocket if it wasn't out of a high level of care to ensure its further rollout doesn't involve accidents. Matter of fact, when was the last time anything negative has been reported about Waymo's self-driving fleet? Exactly, they are taking their time and doing it right. When the time will come for broader legislation, their mostly squeaky clean record will go a long w...

Send us a text Is Apple hubris what's keeping it from properly entering the AI space? Apple’s cash reserves are near mythical. It could outright buy any, and I do mean, ANY AI platform which would allow it to catch up for the past year or so, of missed rollouts of meaningful AI features. But is it its insistence on doing things in-house that's keeping it from taking the leap?

Send us a text Waymo seems to be beating Tesla in self-driving. Could Tesla’s cameras only approach be unable to close the gap and be sufficient compared to the use of lidar, laser, radar? Has Tesla boxed itself in a corner? Musk has been promising for years now, and still no significant breakthrough in terms of self-driving autonomy. Not to mention the reported significantly greater reported sightings of Waymo vehicles compared to Tesla’s in areas where self-driving is tested and authorized,...

Its latest Meta Ray Ban Display smartglasses, with color video, maps, music, WhatsApp integration.

Send us a text The results are largely in; Apple’s event showed Apple still is top-notch in terms of aesthetics, but it is increasingly at risk of missing out on the new direction of the way people engage with technology, namely via AI. People no longer "Google" search; they now ask their favorite AI model. They create and are taught by AI and so on. Apple’s conspicuous absence of any significant or relevant info about Apple Intelligence speaks loudly. If this were a product launch 5 years ag...
