OpenAI's CFO floated a federal backstop for AI infrastructure, then reversed within hours after White House rejection. The whiplash exposed the core problem: OpenAI needs $1.4 trillion while generating $20 billion. The math doesn't work.
Microsoft declares it's building "humanist superintelligence" to keep AI safe. Reality check: They're 2 years behind OpenAI, whose models they'll use until 2032. The safety pitch? Product differentiation for enterprise clients who fear runaway AI.
Three Stanford professors just raised $50M to prove OpenAI and Anthropic generate text wrong. Their diffusion models claim 10x speed by processing tokens in parallel, not sequentially. Microsoft and Nvidia are betting they're right.
Explore the new era of design with Adobe's Photoshop mobile app. Unleash creativity anywhere, anytime with powerful tools at your fingertips.
Adobe just dropped a bombshell: real Photoshop on your iPhone. Not Photoshop Express. Not Photoshop Lite. The actual thing.
The app launched globally today for iOS users. Android folks? They'll have to practice patience until late 2025. Consider it a character-building exercise.
This isn't just another mobile editor. It's Photoshop with its professional pants on. Start a project at your desk, tweak it on your commute, finish it while pretending to watch your kid's soccer practice. The seamless integration with Photoshop on the web makes it all possible.
The free tier is surprisingly generous. You get the Spot Healing Brush, Tap Select, layers, masks, and even Adobe's Firefly AI tools. It's like they forgot to run the feature list by their accountants first.
Premium features? That's where Adobe remembers they're a business. Object Select, Magic Wand, Content Aware Fill, Clone Stamp, and the Remove Tool cost $7.99 monthly or $69.99 annually. But existing Photoshop subscribers get these features included. How thoughtful of them.
Adobe's product lineup now reads like a confused family tree. There's Photoshop proper, Photoshop Express ($4.99/month), Adobe Express, and now this. Someone in marketing must be enjoying the chaos.
This isn't just another update. It's Photoshop finally admitting that phones are computers too. The interface has been completely reimagined for touch, making it feel native to mobile rather than a cramped desktop port.
Why this matters:

Sam Altman predicts AI CEOs within years while betting billions on human-centric infrastructure. His Tyler Cowen interview reveals three tensions: monetizing without breaking trust, energy bottlenecks limiting AI, and models that persuade without intent.
