Greetings! Your latest quick tech update is here:

☀️ On this day: On September 9, 1975, IBM introduced the IBM 5100 Portable Computer, one of the earliest portable computers ever made. Weighing about 55 pounds and featuring a 5-inch screen, built-in tape drive, and up to 64KB of RAM, it was designed for professionals and engineers who needed computing power outside the mainframe environment. Although expensive and bulky by today’s standards, the IBM 5100 paved the way for the personal computing revolution that followed in the 1980s.

Hand-picked news:

💼 OpenAI to launch AI job platform ↗️LINK

• What: OpenAI is building the “OpenAI Jobs Platform,” an AI-powered hiring service set to launch by mid-2026. The platform aims to match workers with employers, including small businesses and local governments. It will also offer AI fluency certifications through the OpenAI Academy, starting in 2025.

• Why: OpenAI is expanding beyond ChatGPT into apps like job search, a browser, and possibly social media. The move puts it in direct competition with LinkedIn—owned by Microsoft, a major OpenAI backer.

• Impact: With AI threatening to disrupt white-collar work, OpenAI hopes to retrain and certify 10M Americans by 2030, positioning itself as both a disruptor and a solution provider.

🌐 Google admits open web is “in rapid decline” ↗️LINK

• What: In a legal filing, Google acknowledged that the open web is “already in rapid decline,” contradicting months of public claims. The statement came as part of its defense against the DOJ’s push to break up its ad business, arguing divestiture would worsen the decline and harm publishers relying on open-web ad revenue.

• Why: AI disruption, booming ad formats like retail media and connected TV, and algorithm changes are drawing traffic and investment away from traditional open web platforms.

• Impact: Google’s courtroom candor highlights a growing reality for publishers: traffic is shrinking, and the web’s open ecosystem is eroding—partly due to AI and Google itself.

🎥 Vodafone uses AI influencer in new TikTok ad ↗️LINK

• What: Vodafone’s German branch featured an AI-generated influencer in a TikTok ad promoting cashback deals—part of the company’s ongoing AI ad experiments. The digital woman, clearly artificial to some viewers, drew attention for visual inconsistencies like disappearing moles.

• Why: Vodafone says it’s testing new creative styles as AI becomes integral to daily life and advertising. The move reflects a broader trend: AI influencers like Lil Miquela are gaining popularity and high-paying brand deals.

• Impact: Influencers join the growing list of jobs being reshaped—or replaced—by AI. With early-career employment already down 13% in some sectors, the AI wave is accelerating creative job disruption.

🧬 Silicon Valley bets $5B on living to 200 years ↗️LINK

• What: Billionaires like Sam Altman, Peter Thiel, and Vinod Khosla have poured over $5B into longevity tech—funding startups focused on anti-aging drugs, AI-driven treatments, and cell reprogramming. Companies like Altos, BioAge, and NewLimit are leading the charge, with raises as high as $3B.

• Why: Many investors are motivated by personal loss and the belief that aging can be slowed—or even reversed—using science and AI. The sector spans biotech, supplements, and wearables.

• Impact: Longevity tech is exploding, blurring the line between futuristic science and real-world products. With enough money and breakthroughs, Silicon Valley thinks 200 might be the new 100.

📱 Musk’s next move: 5G from satellites to phones ↗️LINK

• What: SpaceX is acquiring EchoStar’s AWS-4 and H-block spectrum licenses for $17B—half in cash, half in stock. The move bolsters its “Direct to Cell” service, aimed at delivering broadband and 5G directly to mobile phones via satellites.

• Why: The deal follows FCC pressure on EchoStar to divest, reportedly pushed by President Trump and supported by SpaceX. It gives Musk’s company crucial wireless spectrum for global cellular coverage.

• Impact: SpaceX is positioning itself as a direct competitor to mobile carriers by turning Starlink into a full-featured cellular network—potentially disrupting global telecom.
