Hand-picked news:
🤖 Pika launches AI Selves as digital twins ↗️LINK
Pika Labs introduced AI Selves, a new product that lets users create a persistent digital twin designed to act as an autonomous extension of their personality across platforms.
These AI Selves feature long-term memory, learning from interactions over time to adapt to a user’s communication style and preferences.
Pika frames the tool as more than a chatbot, positioning it as a living digital identity that evolves alongside its creator.
🍎 Apple to manufacture Mac minis in the US ↗️LINK
Apple will begin producing Mac minis for U.S. customers at a new 220,000-square-foot facility in Houston later this year, as part of its broader $500 billion domestic investment pledge.
The Houston site, where Foxconn is also building servers for Apple Intelligence, will start by meeting local demand, while Mac minis for international markets will continue to be made in Asia.
The Mac mini represents a smaller share of Apple’s overall sales, making it a more feasible product to shift to U.S. manufacturing compared to high-volume devices like the iPhone.
🕵️ Anthropic says Chinese labs copied Claude data ↗️LINK
Anthropic accused DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax of running “industrial-scale” distillation campaigns to extract capabilities from its Claude models.
The company identified around 24,000 fraudulent accounts responsible for more than 16 million exchanges aimed at training weaker models on Claude’s outputs at lower cost.
The claims come amid ongoing U.S. debates over AI chip export controls to China, adding geopolitical weight to concerns about model copying and competitive advantage.
💻 Nvidia reportedly developing it’s own laptops ↗️LINK
Nvidia is said to be working on laptops powered by its own processors, signaling a move beyond standalone GPUs toward full system-on-chip designs for consumer devices.
The company is collaborating with Intel and MediaTek, with the MediaTek partnership reportedly involving Nvidia-designed ARM-based CPUs.
PC makers like Dell and Lenovo are reportedly exploring the new Nvidia SoC, betting the company’s strong AI brand could drive demand in the laptop market.
🌤️ Ex-Apple team launches a new weather app ↗️LINK
The team behind Dark Sky has launched Acme Weather, a $25 per year app that combines its own forecast models with satellite, radar, and ground station data to improve reliability.
Unlike typical apps that show only a single prediction, Acme displays alternate forecast possibilities as gray lines, helping users understand uncertainty and plan for different weather outcomes.
The app includes detailed maps, unique alerts like rainbow notifications, and a Community Reports feature, with a potential developer API still under consideration.

Reader’s opinions:
“My main concern is that this technology is controlled by a company that has already shown it values people primarily as consumers, not as individuals. Given that track record, it’s reasonable to question how that power could be used and who it would ultimately serve.”
