Hand-picked news:

📊 OpenAI's state of enterprise AI report ↗️LINK

• OpenAI’s first “State of Enterprise AI” report draws on anonymized usage data and a 100-company survey, showing that 75% of workers say AI improves speed or quality, and another 75% say it enables tasks they couldn’t handle before.

• The report shows sharp gaps between top performers and typical users: the top 5% send 6× more messages than the median, while top coders show a 17× difference — with overall ChatGPT business users saving 40–60 minutes per day and power users gaining 10+ hours weekly.

• Findings reinforce that AI adoption is rapidly reshaping workplace workflows, with broad productivity boosts emerging as teams lean on ChatGPT to expand capabilities and handle more complex tasks.

🧩 Claude Code is coming to Slack ↗️LINK

• Anthropic is adding Claude Code to Slack as a beta, letting developers tag @Claude to start full coding sessions that analyze chat threads, pick the right repo, post progress, and generate pull requests directly from Slack.

• The update reflects a broader trend of AI coding tools moving from IDEs into collaboration platforms, with Cursor, Copilot, and Codex integrations all competing to automate more of the software development workflow.

• Slack’s bid to become an “agentic hub” could change how teams work, but it also raises questions about security, repository access, and reliability as more development tasks rely on third-party integrations.

👓 Google plans AI glasses rollout for 2026 ↗️LINK

• Google will launch its first AI-powered glasses in 2026, including audio-only models with Gemini and versions with an in-lens display, developed with partners like Samsung, Gentle Monster, and Warby Parker.

• The devices will run on Android XR and follow Google’s renewed push into wearables, aiming to compete with Meta’s fast-growing Ray-Ban Meta lineup and other entrants like Snap and Alibaba.

• Google says improved AI and better hardware supply chains make this attempt more viable, while new XR software updates — including PC linking and travel mode — highlight its broader mixed-reality strategy.

🧊 Samsung fridge ad triggers serious concern ↗️LINK

• A UK woman with schizophrenia was hospitalized after a Pluribus promo on her Samsung smart fridge displayed the message “We’re sorry we upset you, Carol,” which she misinterpreted as a personal communication during a psychotic episode.

• Her family later realized the message was part of Apple TV+ marketing, and other Samsung fridge owners reported seeing the same ad, sparking concern about appliance-based ads that look like direct messages.

• LegalAdviceUK commenters noted the advert itself is likely legal but its placement may violate UK ASA guidelines on “appropriate placement,” prompting suggestions to disable smart features or file a complaint.

👀 Leak points to under-display Face ID on iPhone ↗️LINK

• A Weibo leaker claims Apple is testing “spliced micro-transparent glass” to allow the TrueDepth sensors to function through the screen, adding support to rumors that the iPhone 18 Pro will debut under-display Face ID.

• This technique, similar to micro-perforated or nano-patterned glass used elsewhere in the industry, could shrink the Dynamic Island rather than remove it entirely, leaving only a small camera cutout.

• Analysts like Ross Young and Mark Gurman expect a slimmer Dynamic Island for the 18 Pro, while the wider iPhone 18 lineup—including the foldable model—is rumored for a staggered 2026–2027 release.
