Elon Musk and OpenAI continued to spar ahead of their April trial, with Musk sharing anecdotes from Greg Brockman’s 2017 private journal and Sam Altman accusing Musk of "cherry-picking" and OAI releasing correspondence of its own.
Better prompts. Better AI output.
AI gets smarter when your input is complete. Wispr Flow helps you think out loud and capture full context by voice, then turns that speech into a clean, structured prompt you can paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or any assistant. No more chopping up thoughts into typed paragraphs. Preserve constraints, examples, edge cases, and tone by speaking them once. The result is faster iteration, more precise outputs, and less time re-prompting. Try Wispr Flow for AI or see a 30-second demo.
Signal co-founder Moxie Marlinspike has launched Confer, a ChatGPT-style assistant designed to keep conversations private by default, using encryption and secure execution so user data is not stored or reused. Confer is built so conversations cannot be logged, stored, or used for model training, addressing growing concerns that AI assistants collect highly sensitive personal information over time.
Greenland hosts major deposits of rare earths, gallium, and germanium used in magnets, semiconductors, fiber optics, and data centers. Political interest from the U.S. ties these materials to AI growth and security aims. Yet extraction is slow, with few active mines, high costs, harsh conditions, and price swings limiting progress.
Black Forest Labs released FLUX.2[klein], a new speed-focused variant of the company’s powerful AI editing model. The 4B version runs locally, generates images in under a second, and ships under an Apache 2.0 license. This is not chasing visual ceilings. It is deliberately stepping away from them.
The Trump administration and a bipartisan coalition of governors are pressuring PJM Interconnection, the largest electricity market in the US, to hold an emergency power auction meant to accelerate the construction of power plants.

AI Tutorial
How to Use Claude Cowork: The "Claude Code" for Non-Technical Tasks
Claude Cowork turns Claude into a hands-on assistant that can read, organize, and edit files inside a folder you choose, all through simple chat commands. Here’s how to set it up and run your first task.
Note: Cowork requires the Claude macOS desktop app (currently Mac-only, not available on web or mobile) and is only available to Max plan subscribers.
Open Claude Desktop
Look for the mode selector that includes "Chat" and the Cowork tab.
Click the Cowork tab to switch modes to “Tasks”.
You can create a folder just for Cowork, for example:
~/Documents/ClaudeWork/Click New Cowork Session and choose the folder you created.
Describe what you want Claude to do in plain English.
Example tasks
“Help me organize all of the files in my folder by type and date.”
“Extract data from 50 PDF invoices into one Excel file.”
“Sort these photos into year and month folders.”
“Find all Word files and convert them to PDFs.”
“Create a slide deck from my notes and meeting transcripts.”
Before touching your files, Claude will ask clarifying questions to ensure it understands your goal and carries out the task the way you want.
Review the results and ask for any adjustments if needed.
