An Android Authority columnist reports buying his 14th iPhone, the iPhone 18 Pro, and argues that Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra and Google's Pixel 11 Pro XL have largely closed the technical gap with Apple's devices.

OpenAI published an analysis arguing that as AI systems approach or exceed human-level cognitive performance, policymakers need to prepare economic tools now rather than waiting for disruption to occur, as happened during past technological shifts like the Industrial Revolution. The piece frames AGI as fundamentally different from past automation waves because it could automate intelligence itself rather than just routine tasks, potentially affecting a much broader swath of jobs and industries simultaneously.
