⚖️ Meta faces landmark US antitrust trial LINK
  • Meta is facing a landmark antitrust trial where the Federal Trade Commission accuses the tech giant of maintaining an illegal monopoly through its acquisitions of WhatsApp and Instagram.
  • The case, initially brought during President Trump's first term and continued under Biden, could potentially force Meta to divest from these popular platforms if regulators prevail.
  • CEO Mark Zuckerberg has reportedly approached the White House about a settlement, raising concerns about potential political influence in the case being heard by Judge James Boasberg.
👓 Apple reportedly working on two new Vision Pro models LINK
  • Apple is reportedly developing two new Vision Pro headsets, including a lighter, more affordable model to address criticisms of the original's $3,500 price tag and 1.5-pound weight that causes discomfort during extended use.
  • A second professional-focused model is being designed to connect directly to Macs for ultra-low-latency applications in fields like medical imaging and flight simulation, leveraging the full processing power of Mac computers.
  • The tech giant is also working on smart glasses with cameras and microphones similar to Meta's Ray-Ban AI Glasses, potentially launching the new Vision Pro models by year-end while the glasses might not debut until 2027.
🇺🇸 Nvidia plans to manufacture AI supercomputers in the US LINK
  • Nvidia plans to manufacture AI supercomputers entirely in the U.S. for the first time, commissioning over a million square feet of manufacturing space in Arizona and Texas with partners like TSMC, Foxconn, and Wistron.
  • The company aims to produce up to half a trillion dollars of AI infrastructure in the United States within the next four years through collaborations with global manufacturing leaders to strengthen supply chain resilience.
  • Jensen Huang, Nvidia's CEO, emphasized that building AI chips and supercomputers in America will help meet growing demand, create hundreds of thousands of jobs, and drive trillions in economic security.
📝 Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ LINK
  • Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey sparked controversy by advocating for the elimination of intellectual property laws, with Dorsey stating "delete all IP law" amid ongoing lawsuits against AI companies over copyright infringement.
  • Critics argued this stance represents a war on creators, while Dorsey countered that the current IP system benefits gatekeepers rather than fairly compensating artists and limits creativity through excessive restrictions.
  • Musk has consistently criticized patents, once calling them "for the weak" and previously pledging that Tesla wouldn't enforce its patents against companies using them in good faith.
🐬 Google created a new AI model for talking to dolphins LINK
  • Google has partnered with the Wild Dolphin Project to develop DolphinGemma, an AI model based on its Gemma framework that analyzes complex dolphin vocalizations and communication patterns.
  • Researchers have already identified some dolphin sounds like signature whistles used as names and "squawk" patterns during fights, but they hope this AI collaboration will reveal if dolphins have a structured language.
  • The new AI model uses Google's SoundStream technology to tokenize dolphin sounds, allowing real-time analysis of the marine mammals' complex whistles and clicks that have puzzled scientists for decades.
