This Week’s Awesome Tech Stories From Around the Web (Through October 31)
The week in tech, in one sitting. Bring snacks.
Singularity Hub’s roundup of the week through 31 October runs from Mistral’s ‘Le Chonk’ — claimed to be the world’s best open-weight model for coding and cybersecurity — to Binance’s $6.3 billion hack, via an Apollo economist’s verdict that AI delivers ‘zero financial payoff’ to most companies and a Wired piece arguing an AI breakthrough has made decades of computer science research ‘irrelevant’. Elsewhere: Google’s first data centre satellite is online and writing poetry, Delaware wants to let AI agents run entire businesses with no human at the helm, Kodiak’s driverless trucks have their first commercial deal, and someone built a tracker light enough for a butterfly.
Conclusion: the future is not coming. It is already filing paperwork.
