Figure AI has signed its first retail logistics deal with Catalyst Brands, the parent of JCPenney, Aéropostale, Brooks Brothers, and Eddie Bauer, to deploy Figure 03 humanoids at Catalyst’s upgraded Reno, Nevada, logistics hub. The robots will work with the Joey Pouch sorting and packing system, taking on repetitive, physically demanding tasks so human staff can shift into […]

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, in his recent Joe Rogan interview, challenged AI job-loss fears by stating AI will create more jobs than it eliminates. He explained that AI automates tasks, not entire jobs, allowing workers to focus on meaningful work and hire more people to handle increased demand. Huang proved his point with radiologists: after a

Anthropic just leapfrogged OpenAI with a new version of its model, Claude Opus 4.8. The update beats most major benchmarks, especially on coding, using computers, and financial analysis, and it’s better at admitting uncertainty instead of guessing. Alongside Opus 4.8, Anthropic announced a huge funding round — $65 billion — that values the company around $965 billion,

In 2020, Google DeepMind’s AlphaFold2 revolutionized science by predicting protein structures with near-experimental accuracy, solving a 50-year biology grand challenge. This breakthrough earned Demis Hassabis and John Jumper the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, with AlphaFold2 now used by over 2 million researchers across 190 countries to map 200 million proteins. AlphaFold 3 followed in

Demis Hassabis says AGI could arrive around 2030 ±1 year — a bolder timeline as DeepMind’s models move from prediction to purposeful action. The main technical gaps he names are clear: physical-world understanding, longer reliable memory, consistent cross-context reasoning, and continual learning without catastrophic forgetting. Closing them is what will turn agentic systems into truly

Ferrari unveiled the Luce, its first production EV and most expensive model, starting at $640,000. Co-designed with LoveFrom (Jony Ive and Marc Newson), the five-seat grand tourer uses four motors for 1,035 hp and features Ferrari’s lowest drag coefficient, aiming to preserve the marque’s performance and presence in an electric package. Interior choices — a
