Uber is going all in on robotaxis — and teaming up with Nvidia to make it happen 🚗🤖

Starting in 2027, Uber and Nvidia will roll out fully autonomous (Level 4) robotaxis in Los Angeles and San Francisco, with plans to expand to 28 cities globally by 2028. The cars will run on Nvidia’s AI, designed to handle complex, real-world driving situations.

The launch will happen in phases — data collection → supervised rides → fully driverless fleets.

At the same time, Uber is leaning into partnerships instead of building its own tech, investing up to $1.25B in Rivian to secure thousands of electric robotaxis, including 10,000 vehicles planned for the Uber app by 2028.

The long-term vision is a global network mixing human drivers and robotaxis, with tens of thousands of autonomous vehicles across major cities. Competition is heating up (Waymo, Tesla), and Uber is betting it can become the platform connecting it all.

314 trillion digits of π… on a single machine 🤯

A team from StorageReview just set a new world record, calculating π to 314 trillion decimal places in a nonstop 110-day run — perfectly timed for Pi Day (3/14).

What’s wild? They didn’t use a massive cloud setup. Just one Dell PowerEdge server running 24/7 for nearly four months with zero downtime.

In reality, science doesn’t even need that many digits — NASA says ~37 is enough to measure the observable universe accurately. So why push further?

Because it’s not really about π. These runs are extreme stress tests for modern hardware — pushing processors, memory, and storage to their limits, exposing weaknesses and improving systems used in AI, simulations, and big data.

The machine handled insane data flow (~280 GB/s) and still beat previous 300T records with less power and complexity.

There’s still no finish line — π never ends, and neither does the race 🚀

A new smartwatch called O-Boy could become a lifesaver for people traveling in the world’s most remote places.

Designed by the Brussels-based studio Futurewave, the watch can send distress signals directly to satellites, meaning it works even where there’s no phone network — from mountains to open water.

The device acts as a standalone transmitter, giving users a way to call for help far beyond the reach of traditional mobile coverage. Futurewave says the goal was simple: build a smartwatch that can send an emergency alert “even in the most remote corners of the world.”

To make this possible, engineers integrated satellite hardware and antennas into a compact wearable. The rugged design is water-resistant, impact-protected and pressure-tolerant, while rounded surfaces keep it comfortable for everyday wear.

With its black-and-red emergency color scheme and satellite connectivity, O-Boy aims to improve safety for explorers, remote workers and adventurers far from civilization.

Meta just bought a social network… but not for humans 🤖

The company has acquired Moltbook, a Reddit-style platform where every account is an AI agent. The site recently went viral as people watched AI bots debate, share ideas, write code, and even gossip about their human creators.

Launched in late January as an experiment, Moltbook quickly spread across social media through screenshots of conversations between AI agents. Some found it entertaining, while others saw it as an early glimpse of a future where AI systems run in their own digital ecosystems.

Moltbook founders Matt Schlicht and Ben Parr will join Meta Superintelligence Labs, the company’s AI unit led by former Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang. Meta did not disclose the financial terms.

The platform runs on OpenClaw, a framework designed to make it easier to deploy autonomous AI agents that can interact with software, messaging apps, and even other agents.

Your voice might be giving away more than you think.

A Nov. 19, 2025 study in Proceedings of the IEEE warns AI can extract far more from speech than just the words we say. Beyond emotion or fatigue, computers can analyze tone, cadence and word choice to infer education level, finances, political views — even possible health conditions.

The research, led by Tom Bäckström of Aalto University, highlights serious privacy risks. If a corporation can sense your economic situation from your voice, it could open the door to price discrimination, like higher insurance premiums. If emotional vulnerability or personal traits are detectable, it may enable profiling, harassment or stalking.

The technology isn’t fully in use yet, but the building blocks already exist. From voicemails to recorded customer service calls, our voices are stored everywhere. Speech tech has real promise — but the question is what it learns about us, and who ultimately controls that information.

Exynos 2600’s Heat Pass Block Could End Smartphone Cooling Fans

Samsung’s upcoming Exynos 2600 introduces Heat Pass Block (HPB), a new cooling solution designed to lower thermal resistance and improve heat dissipation by up to 20%.

With chipsets pushing higher clock speeds — the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro rumored at 5.00GHz and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy expected to reach 4.74GHz — heat output continues to rise.

Brands like REDMAGIC have added built-in cooling fans to manage temperatures, but they can be noisy and still aren’t a perfect solution.

HPB places a heatsink directly on the chipset die, helping transfer heat more efficiently even with DRAM stacked above it. If it delivers as promised, high-performance phones may finally move away from custom fans.

AI creates artificial animals that over time develop functioning vision without instruction

The most surprising aspect was that the computer’s eyes developed in the same way as those of real organisms.

Researchers in Sweden have created artificial animals that evolved vision from scratch — starting with simple light sensitivity and eventually learning to discern objects, without any instructions.

“It’s the first time AI has been used to follow how a complete vision system can arise without telling the computer how it should come to be,” said Professor Dan-Eric Nilsson of Lund University.

In a synthetic world built of code, virtual animals were given tasks like navigating and finding food. Generation by generation, those that adapted best passed on their traits. Over time, light-sensitive structures evolved into functioning eyes.

Surprisingly, the digital eyes developed along the same paths seen in nature — as if evolution followed its usual blueprint, even inside a computer.

Russian firm turns pigeons into brain-controlled surveillance drones using GPS

A Moscow startup says pigeons with microscopic brain electrodes completed controlled test flights over the city in late 2025.

The PJN-1 project uses neurosurgery instead of training. Electrodes linked to a small head stimulator let operators steer the birds, while a lightweight backpack carries GPS, a controller, solar panels, and a chest camera for real-time tracking. The company claims the pigeons can fly up to 300 miles a day without batteries and be deployed immediately after surgery.

Neiry says the birds can navigate tight spaces, handle harsh weather, and operate where drones face restrictions, for uses like infrastructure inspections, power line monitoring, and search-and-rescue.

Founder Alexander Panov said: “Any bird can be a carrier… ravens for heavier payloads, seagulls, and for large sea areas — albatrosses.”

The project is already raising ethical and security debates.

New leak about the Find X9 Ultra camera setup 👀

The 50MP 10× periscope super telephoto lens comes with an F3.5 aperture, allowing roughly 3× more light intake compared to the Samsung S23 Ultra. It’s also the only native 10× optical zoom in the industry — basically like having a built-in teleconverter, so no extra accessories are needed while keeping things compact.

The 3× zoom is also the industry's highest light-gathering 200MP (OV52A) periscope lens.

Camera details:
☑ 10× → 1/2.76" 50MP, F3.5
☑ 3× → 1/1.28" 200MP, F2.2

The 230mm (10×) focal length is pretty much at its limit for achieving an F3.5 aperture.

AI Images Of A Caterpillar Pickup Went Viral — So The Company Built One

In late 2024, AI-generated images of a Caterpillar pickup truck started spreading across the internet. The concept wasn’t real, but it grabbed a lot of attention — including from Caterpillar itself.

The company, best known for its yellow construction and mining machines, said it also received thousands of messages from customers and contractors asking what a Cat-branded truck would actually look like.

So Caterpillar decided to answer that question.

At CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, the company revealed the Cat Truck — a custom pickup built on a Ford Super Duty. The project was created to bring the viral AI concept into the real world and show what a Caterpillar-style truck for job sites might look like.

Despite the hype, it’s not a new production model. Caterpillar says the truck is currently just a one-off concept — essentially a real-life version of an idea that started with AI.

X is testing a standalone messaging app — X Chat

X has begun testing a separate X Chat app for iOS — a dedicated messenger similar to WhatsApp or Signal, built around X’s private messaging system.

The first beta launched through Apple’s TestFlight and filled up within two hours. Initially limited to 1,000 testers, the program is already expanding to 5,000 users.

X Chat is essentially an upgraded version of X’s direct messages, which the company says are end-to-end encrypted. However, some security experts have previously questioned how secure the system actually is.

Early testers say the app feels simpler and smoother than messaging inside the main X app. Some features — including message requests, verified badges, and calling — are still being developed.

An Android version is expected very soon.

Norway’s solid-state hydrogen storage could store summer solar energy for winter use

The technology converts renewable electricity into hydrogen for long-term seasonal storage.

Norwegian startup Photoncycle has raised $17.5M to develop a seasonal energy storage system that could allow homes to store excess solar energy from summer and use it in winter.

The system converts renewable electricity into hydrogen and stores it in solid-state form at the household level, tackling one of the biggest challenges for renewables — long-duration seasonal storage. The company plans to roll it out commercially in Denmark and the Netherlands.

The funding will support the first phase of an industrial plant expected to go live in 2027, with capacity to provide seasonal storage for about 140,000 homes.

Photoncycle says the technology could reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels and help households become more energy independent.

Sony Group has developed a technology that can identify the original music used in AI-generated songs, potentially allowing songwriters to seek compensation if their work helped train AI models.

The system analyzes which artists’ tracks were used in learning and generating music, and can even estimate contribution levels. If developers cooperate, Sony can connect directly to base model systems for detailed data. Without cooperation, it compares AI-generated tracks with existing catalogs to estimate the sources.

As the AI boom fuels accusations of copyrighted music being used without permission — including songs mimicking famous singers — Sony believes this tool could support a framework where revenue from AI music is shared with original creators and help curb infringement.

Developed by Sony AI, the technology could also be applied to video, games and character content. The company has not yet announced when it will be put into practical use.

Google confirms AirDrop-style sharing is coming to more Android devices

Google has confirmed that Android’s Quick Share will soon expand AirDrop interoperability beyond the Pixel 10 series. The feature launched unexpectedly last year and remained limited to Pixel phones, raising questions about a wider rollout.

Android VP of Engineering Eric Kay says Google has already proven the feature works with iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks and is now working with partners to bring it to more Android devices, with announcements expected very soon.

So far, Nothing has confirmed support, while Qualcomm has hinted that Snapdragon-powered phones could follow. This expansion is happening in large part thanks to EU 🇪🇺 interoperability rules, which aim to make major platforms work better together, and supports Google’s push to make switching from iPhone to Android easier.
