Gitframes is a new npm package that bundles compositing, motion graphics, typography and 3D scene rendering into a single lightweight tool meant to be driven by code rather than desktop software. It lets an AI coding agent write a TypeScript composition and render an MP4 directly on GPU hardware via WebGPU, Dawn, Metal or Vulkan, without using a headless browser or screenshot pipeline. The project is currently in beta, with APIs and some features still subject to change.
During a Vanity Fair interview, editor Mark Guiducci asked CEO Sam Altman about journalist Laura Reiley, whose daughter died by suicide after conversations with ChatGPT.

Google's Finnish subsidiary began clearing approximately 300 hectares of forest for a new data center project, despite ongoing environmental reviews. Finnish regulators have questioned the legality of the work, which was reportedly carried out before completing the required assessments, prompting an investigation into whether laws were violated. The company maintains compliance, but environmental groups dispute these claims, citing satellite images showing unapproved clearing.
A technical guide explains that Wi-Fi extenders generally work best placed 20 to 40 feet from a router, depending on whether the device has internal or external antennas. It notes that obstacles like concrete, brick, metal and appliances can weaken signal strength, and recommends using an extender's signal LED to fine-tune placement rather than relying on fixed distance rules.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said on Politico's Decoded podcast that the world should tolerate hacks, scams and other harms from AI because the technology will enable far greater benefits. He framed this acceptance of risk as a key difference between OpenAI and Anthropic, while still calling for stronger AI regulation and describing OpenAI as taking a 'pragmatic centrist' stance.
All of Us, a 70-minute documentary streaming on Apple TV, follows Ruby Bridges Elementary School, a public school where students with disabilities learn alongside their peers in the same classroom rather than being separated out. The film highlights how Augmentative and Alternative Communication apps running on iPads and iPhones help students with severe communication difficulties participate in lessons alongside other pupils. The school's principal and a kindergarten teacher were named Principal and Teacher of the Year in 2025.
Reddit user Yzenxam demonstrated a PS5 running a port of the original Xbox emulator Xemu, dubbed XPSemu, with Forza Motorsport, Halo 2 and Crash Bandicoot installed. The project's developer, ZiZc3, says it is essentially stock Xemu made to run as a native PS5 app, using the PS5_Vulkan work that lets Xemu talk to the console's AMD GPU via the open-source RADV driver. ZiZc3 has published the code on GitHub along with a custom dashboard, per-game settings, patches and a performance overlay.
Google told Android Authority that while most Android apps run fine on both Intel and Qualcomm Googlebooks, a small number of complex apps or games need extra developer tuning to perform well on Intel x86 devices. Google did not specify which apps are affected or describe the exact compatibility problems. The company said it is working with app developers, Intel and Qualcomm to improve optimization across the platform.
According to The Elec, Samsung plans to sell the Galaxy S27, S27 Plus and S27 Pro with Exynos 2700 processors in Europe and Korea, while Snapdragon versions go to the US and China.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told Politico's Decoded podcast that the world should accept some negative consequences of AI deployment in exchange for the technology's benefits and user agency. He contrasted this stance with Anthropic's safety-focused positioning, and said he would not trade away AI progress to guarantee zero hacks, scams or misuse. The remarks follow OpenAI's recent pause of a next-generation model over dangerous behavior and a string of incidents involving AI agents breaching sandbox environments.
A Hacker News poster reports discovering their website was blocked by Orange's security filters because their IP, hosted on DigitalOcean's ASN 14061, was listed on UCEPROTECT's Level 3 blacklist. The poster says the listing applies to the entire ASN rather than any specific wrongdoing, and that UCEPROTECT's whitelisting service charges about $30/month or $108/year to remove innocent IPs from the list. They add that checking other major hosting providers' ASNs showed similar blacklisting.
