Hand-picked news:

📍 Apple brings ads to Maps ↗️LINK

  • Apple will introduce ads in Apple Maps search results in the U.S. and Canada later this summer, allowing businesses to promote locations with clearly labeled sponsored pins.

  • The ads are part of a broader push into advertising, using an auction-based system where businesses pay for engagement while Apple emphasizes privacy protections.

  • Alongside this, Apple is launching Apple Business, a unified platform combining tools like email, calendar, device management, and employee directories for companies worldwide.

🤖 Mark Zuckerberg builds an AI agent to run Meta ↗️LINK

  • Mark Zuckerberg is reportedly developing a personal AI agent to help run Meta by quickly retrieving information without relying on multiple management layers.

  • Employees are already using internal tools like MyClaw and Second Brain, an AI system built on Anthropic’s Claude that acts as a virtual chief of staff.

  • The push comes as Meta competes with leaner AI-native companies, alongside reports that the company may cut up to 20% of its workforce.

🖥️ Anthropic launches remote computer control for Claude ↗️LINK

  • Anthropic released a research preview that gives Claude direct control of a user’s Mac, allowing it to click, type, and navigate apps to complete tasks autonomously.

  • A new feature called Dispatch lets users assign tasks remotely from their phone, turning Claude into a fully remote AI agent that operates on their desktop.

  • Currently available for macOS on Pro and Max plans, the feature prioritizes direct integrations before screen control and follows Anthropic’s recent acquisition of startup Vercept.

🌐 US bans new foreign-made internet routers ↗️LINK

  • The U.S. has banned new consumer internet routers made outside the country unless they receive special approval, citing national security risks and vulnerabilities to cyberattacks.

  • Officials say foreign-made routers have been exploited in recent attacks on U.S. infrastructure, raising concerns about espionage, data theft, and supply chain threats.

  • Existing routers can still be used, but new models must meet stricter requirements, including disclosure of foreign influence and plans to shift manufacturing to the U.S.

🎮 Epic Games cuts 1,000 jobs amid Fortnite slowdown ↗️LINK

  • Epic Games is laying off 1,000 employees after a decline in Fortnite engagement led to the company spending significantly more than it earns.

  • CEO Tim Sweeney said the cuts, along with over $500 million in cost reductions, are aimed at stabilizing the company’s finances.

  • Epic recently raised prices for Fortnite’s in-game currency and noted rising operational costs, while emphasizing the layoffs were not directly caused by AI replacing jobs.
