😇 Disney star's AI avatar app to chat with the dead

Disney Channel actor Calum Worthy just launched 2wai, an AI platform that creates interactive avatars of deceased relatives, which can speak and interact across life events — drawing comparisons to the techno-dystopian show ‘Black Mirror.’ The app generates "HoloAvatars" from just minutes of recorded footage, allowing users to talk with digital versions of departed family members.

🔌 Google to invest $40B in Texas data centers

Google will invest $40B through 2027 to build new data centers in Armstrong and Haskell County, Texas. Sundar Pichai says the plan will create thousands of jobs, fund skills training, and support energy affordability efforts. The move reflects a surge in AI infrastructure spending, but not everyone is happy. Pushback is rising in other states over water use, energy strain, and higher utility bills.

🗞️ Anthropic highlights political neutrality during bias

Anthropic released tests showing Claude Sonnet 4.5 scored 94% on political even-handedness as the Trump administration targets "woke AI" systems across the industry. The announcement follows procurement rules from the White House. President Trump bars federal agencies from buying AI systems that "sacrifice truthfulness to ideological agendas,".

💰 Leaks hint at a massive OpenAI–Microsoft payout

Leaked documents obtained by Ed Zitron show that OpenAI paid Microsoft $865.8M in revenue share during the first three quarters of 2025, up from $493.8M in 2024. The figures suggest OpenAI’s revenue-sharing agreement with Microsoft, estimated at 20%, has scaled sharply alongside its revenue growth and compute usage.

👋 Tim Cook could step down as Apple CEO ‘as soon as next year'

Apple's board and senior executives have recently intensified the company's succession planning for its CEO role. John Ternus is the most likely to take the position, but no final decisions have been made. Apple is unlikely to name a new CEO before its next earnings report in late January.

AI Tutorial

💻 Use Codex to write code on the web with AI agents

In this tutorial, you will learn how to use OpenAI's Codex to ship your first change from a GitHub repository without writing code by hand — connecting a repo, planning changes, implementing them with AI agents, and opening pull requests.

Step-by-step:

1. Go to ChatGPT, open the left sidebar, and click "Codex" to access the main interface

2. Click "Manage environment," select your GitHub organization and repository, then configure code execution settings

3. Choose "Plan" to discuss scope without touching code, or "Execute" to make changes on a branch — prompt example: "Can you give me insights on what this project is about?"

4. Enter your implementation prompt (e.g., "Turn this static landing page into a website where users can paste their own stories and poetry"), preview changes with "Run this code and show me the site," then click "Create PR" when satisfied
