• Claude’s Hidden Modes: Why One Chatbot Is Actually Five Tools in Disguise

  Claude isn’t just a chatbot. Behind its familiar text box lie five distinct AI modes, each optimized for a specific workflow—from generating landing pages to writing code in plain Russian. Yet most users remain stuck in the default chat interface, unaware of the productivity gains locked behind these unadvertised tools. The revelation raises a question: Are we underestimating AI’s potential by treating it as a single, general-purpose tool?

• Microsoft’s Project Silica: Your Entire Digital Life on an Indestructible Glass Coaster

  Microsoft’s Project Silica has achieved a breakthrough: storing 2 terabytes of data on a Pyrex glass coaster, using laser pulses to burn microscopic dots in hundreds of layers within just 2 millimeters of thickness. The glass is indestructible—boil it, flood it, drop it in the ocean—and requires no electricity, cooling, or maintenance. While the original Superman movie has already been saved on one piece, the technology raises profound questions about archival storage, energy costs, and whether it can scale beyond the prototype.

• The AI Phone That Wants to Kill Apps: Inside OpenAI’s Most Audacious Bet

  A leaked plan reveals OpenAI is building a phone designed by Jony Ive that runs on AI agents instead of apps. The ambition is to replicate Apple’s ecosystem in four years, a timeline that defies every failed attempt by Facebook and Amazon. The article examines the technical and strategic tradeoffs: why an app-less device might finally work, why it probably won’t, and what it says about the end of the smartphone era.

• Apple’s Memory Crunch: The Hidden Tax on Your Next iPhone

  Apple’s Q2 2026 earnings report revealed a quiet crisis: soaring memory costs are squeezing profits on iPhones and MacBooks, even as demand surges. The culprit? A perfect storm of supply chain constraints and Samsung’s dominance in the RAM market, where shortages have sent prices skyrocketing. With Cook’s leadership transition looming, the company faces a stark choice: absorb the costs, raise prices, or delay innovation—none of which bode well for consumers or investors.

• Supreme Court considering legality of smartphone location ‘dragnets’

  The US Supreme Court is hearing arguments about the legality of so-called geofence warrants, sometimes also referred to as “digital dragnets” because they capture the location data of a great many innocent citizens in addition to criminal suspects.

• Taylor Swift is stepping up the legal war on AI copycats

  Taylor Swift has been at the center of AI imitation controversies for years, and now, she's become the latest celebrity who's escalating attempts to protect herself from AI copycats. As usual, however, the legal system intersects with technology in complicated ways - and Swift's efforts may be a long shot. In trademark applications filed last week, Swift's team asked for protection for two phrases spoken by the singer: Hey, it's Taylor Swift and Hey, it's Taylor. The trademark applications, filed by TAS Rights Management on behalf of Swift, include audio clips of Swift saying the two phrases as part of a promotion for her latest album.

• Google is testing AI chatbot search for YouTube

  Google is trying out an AI Mode-like search experience for YouTube. The company is now testing "a new way to search on YouTube that feels more like a conversation," with results pulling in things like longform videos, YouTube Shorts, and text about what you're searching for. The "experiment" is now available if you're a YouTube Premium subscriber in the US who is 18 or older. I turned it on for my account. Now, in the search bar, I see an "Ask YouTube" button, and clicking the search bar shows prompts to ask like "funny baby elephant playing clips," "summary of the rules of volleyball," and "short history of the Apollo 11 moon landing."
