Greetings! Your latest quick tech update is here:
☀️ On this day: On April 8, 1983, Steve Jobs convinced John Sculley, then 43 and president of PepsiCo, to leave his $500,000-a-year salary and become Apple's third CEO, famously asking him: "Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water, or do you want a chance to change the world?" To lure Sculley away from Pepsi, Apple agreed to pay him $1 million per year, plus a $1 million signing bonus and 350,000 AAPL shares. Two years later, Sculley convinced Apple's board to strip Jobs of his role, leading to Jobs' departure from the company he founded.

Hand-picked news:
🔒 Anthropic built an AI it's too scared to release ↗️LINK
Anthropic launched Project Glasswing, a cybersecurity coalition with Apple, Google, Microsoft, AWS, and Nvidia built around Mythos, a new frontier model it's keeping off the public market entirely.
Mythos caught thousands of security flaws across every major OS and browser, including bugs that survived 27 years of review, and outperforms Opus 4.6 and other frontier rivals across coding and reasoning.
Access goes to 12 launch partners and 40+ orgs backed by $100M in credits — and if a model's debut story involves emailing a researcher from an instance with no internet access, "uneasy surprise" feels like an understatement.
💸 Americans lost $21 billion to cybercrime last year ↗️LINK
Americans lost $21 billion to cybercrime in 2025, up 26% from 2024, with crypto scams topping $11 billion and investment fraud accounting for nearly half of all scam-related losses.
The FBI received over 1 million complaints for the first time, with Americans over 60 hit hardest at $7.7 billion lost, a 37% jump from the prior year.
AI-enabled scams showed up in the FBI's annual report for the first time, racking up $893 million in losses across voice cloning, deepfakes, and fake profiles — a debut category that will almost certainly grow next year.
🔍 Google quietly launched an AI dictation app ↗️LINK
Google quietly released AI Edge Eloquent on the App Store, an on-device dictation app using its Gemma models that transcribes speech with no internet connection required.
The app auto-removes filler words on pause and lets users reformat transcripts into styles like "Formal" or "Key Points," pulling custom vocabulary from your Gmail contacts.
Google briefly listed Android keyboard support in the App Store description, then scrubbed it, but confirmed an iOS keyboard is coming — so the quiet rollout probably isn't staying quiet for long.
⚙️ Intel partners with Musk to build AI chip megafactory ↗️LINK
Intel will help design and build Terafab, Musk's proposed Austin chip factory targeting one terawatt of annual compute output, pooling resources from SpaceX, Tesla, and xAI.
Musk announced Terafab in March 2026 as part of a broader AI pivot across his companies, with SpaceX acquiring xAI in February and Tesla shifting its identity from EVs toward robotics.
Intel brings fabrication expertise Musk's companies lack, though it's still working to bring two Arizona chip fabs announced in 2021 to full capacity, so Terafab joins a fairly crowded construction queue.
🚗 Honda struggles to keep up with China’s car industry ↗️LINK
Honda CEO Toshihiro Mibe toured a Shanghai auto supplier factory and declared "we have no chance against this," as Honda's China sales collapsed from 1.62 million units in 2020 to 640,000 in 2025.
Chinese automakers develop new models in two years or less at costs legacy brands can't match, while Honda runs its China factories at roughly half capacity, well below the 70-80% needed to turn a profit.
Ford's Jim Farley warned China has enough factory capacity to put North American automakers out of business, and Toyota said it may not survive unless things change — so Honda is far from alone in the panic.
