Molly, an Android fork of the Signal messenger popular for extra privacy and security features, has reportedly not received an update in roughly three months, leaving known vulnerabilities unpatched. The issue was raised in a community post warning users that the app may currently be exposed to security risks it was originally designed to avoid.
Apple and Design Miami opened the second edition of their 'Designers of Tomorrow' showcase at Hôtel de Maisons in Paris, featuring work from five emerging designers chosen by a jury including Apple's industrial design VP Molly Anderson. The projects, centered on the theme of 'presence,' were developed using Apple devices such as MacBook Pro, iPad Pro with Apple Pencil, and iPhone for sketching, modeling, and documentation.
Mavi, an AI-powered talent marketplace co-founded by Molly Liu and Aman Puri in 2023, has exited stealth mode. The platform matches U.S. companies with AI-proficient accounting and finance professionals from around the world, aiming to fill full-time, mid- to senior-level roles within days while handling contracts, compliance, and payroll for cross-border hires.
Conservative activists like Molly McCann Sanders of the Eagle Forum are publicly rejecting Trump's pro-data-center stance, citing pollution and land-use fears. Polling from the New York Times shows over 60% of Americans, including nearly half of Republicans, oppose new data center construction, and GOP strategists have warned in internal memos that supporting AI infrastructure could hurt candidates in the midterms.
AI companies are pouring billions into massive data centers and power plants to support 'agents'—AI systems that autonomously execute multi-step tasks rather than simply answering questions. Unlike a single chatbot query, an agent can generate hundreds of self-prompts to complete complex jobs, such as building an entire website over several hours. OpenAI recently touted a swarm of over 10,000 agents exchanging 2.7 million messages to tackle a longstanding math problem, though mathematicians have disputed the significance of that result.
X reported identifying roughly 200 accounts tied to China that it says were amplifying anti-data center rhetoric on the platform, sparking coverage framing local opposition as foreign manipulation. President Trump quickly echoed the claim on Truth Social, suggesting China benefits from the backlash against US data center construction, even as public polling shows growing domestic opposition to these projects regardless of any outside influence.
