Digital Realty CEO Andrew Power said warnings of a potential AI development slowdown from firms like Anthropic, OpenAI and xAI would not mean a halt to data center real estate demand. He argued that non-AI digital transformation and cloud computing growth remain strong drivers for his business, even as Digital Realty and Equinix shares fell on Monday amid AI slowdown fears.
OpenAI's charitable foundation, which holds a 26% stake in OpenAI worth up to $250 billion, has given $500,000 to nonprofit 1Day Sooner to acquire biological research datasets from companies that have gone bankrupt. The group's leader says such datasets could often be obtained for only tens of thousands of dollars, and the funding is meant to test whether this rescue model works at scale. This grant is part of the foundation's broader push to ramp up giving, including a $100 million donation earlier this year for hepatitis C treatment access.
Investors are increasingly scrutinizing whether the massive data center buildout tied to Anthropic and OpenAI's growth can continue at its current pace, given uncertainty around future AI model progress. Companies like Oracle, GE Vernova, Caterpillar, Vertiv, Nebius, CoreWeave, Dell and Hewlett Packard Enterprise have all made major bets tied to sustained AI infrastructure demand.
Apple Music lets users set separate audio quality levels for cellular, Wi-Fi, and downloads within iPhone Settings under Apps > Music > Audio Quality. This allows listeners to save mobile data by keeping cellular playback at High Quality while reserving Lossless streaming for Wi-Fi or downloaded files. Bluetooth headphones don't support true lossless playback, and Hi-Res Lossless requires an external DAC for sample rates above 48kHz.
Researchers warn that this year's El Niño event, combined with ongoing global warming, resembles a rare pattern last observed in the late 1990s. They caution that the interaction between these two forces could produce extreme weather events that fall outside the range of existing climate models and historical data.
President Trump phoned Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang while Huang was speaking at the All-In Summit in Los Angeles, and was put on speakerphone to address the audience. Trump dismissed growing concerns about AI and data center expansion as a hoax, arguing that data centers create wealth for people and states. The call followed a weekend of Trump social media posts attacking Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's call to slow AI development and rejecting calls for new AI regulation.
With today's iOS 27 rollout of Siri AI, Apple has replaced its old 'Improve Siri and Dictation' opt-in with a new setting called 'Improve Siri and Apple Intelligence.' Choosing 'Share Audio and Text' now lets Apple use voice and text interactions from Siri, Dictation and Translate to train its Foundation Models, not just refine Siri as before. Even users who previously consented will be prompted again during setup to confirm their choice under this expanded scope.
Entrepreneur contributor analysis finds that AI search visibility platforms don't actually capture the full stream of questions buyers ask AI assistants. Instead, vendors like Otterly and Ahrefs generate estimated question sets using tools such as Search Console data and keyword expansion, then present results as if they reflect real buyer behavior. The Interactive Advertising Bureau's 2026 guidance confirms that over 20 vendors use inconsistent measurement methods for AI visibility.
A developer released AttaLambda, a small experimental programming language whose core computation is built purely from unary functions and application in untyped lambda calculus. It layers on readable syntax, exact rational number support, and runtime type checks, while keeping input and output handled through a separate host boundary.
President Trump has publicly backed automated license plate reader systems made by Flock Safety, aligning himself with the surveillance technology as the midterm elections near. His support also extends to data center expansion and policies aimed at accelerating AI development without regulatory slowdown.
iMazing, the Mac and PC utility for managing iPhone and iPad data, is running a 20% discount for 9to5Mac readers ahead of a major upcoming release. That update will mark the tool's first step toward supporting Android devices, expanding beyond its Apple-only roots. Since iMazing 3 launched in 2024, the app has added features like Apple Watch support, spyware detection, screen recording, and enhanced Messages and WhatsApp export tools.
President Trump said he sees no need for additional oversight of artificial intelligence, pushing back against safety warnings from industry insiders. He also claimed that opposition to AI development and new data centers is being driven by a coordinated campaign rather than genuine public concern.
