Apple’s Vision gets a split: Pro for pros, Lite for the rest of us
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is now working on two separate Vision models — a high-end Vision Pro for professionals and a lighter, more affordable consumer version.
The Pro will feature a more powerful chip and wired Mac connectivity for ultra-low latency — perfect for surgeries and flight simulations. Meanwhile, the cheaper model will be slimmer, simpler, and friendlier on your wallet.
The exact launch timeline is unclear. A minor Vision Pro 2 is supposedly already in production and may drop between fall 2025 and spring 2026 — unless Apple’s new strategy shifts things.
Endgame? AR glasses you can wear all day without looking like a cyborg. But yeah… we’re not quite there yet.
$32B for a startup with no product? Welcome to the Ilya Sutskever multiverse.
OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever jumped ship and launched Safe Superintelligence — a company with no actual product, but somehow already valued at $32 billion. Why? Because their mission is sexy: build the world’s safest superintelligence. Investors didn’t even blink.
Launched in mid-2024, SSI just pulled in $2 billion in fresh funding, led by Greenoaks Capital, with cash from Google, NVIDIA, Sequoia, and the usual VC A-listers. No prototype, no code on GitHub — just big brains, big promises, and big wallets.
The pitch? Create AI that’s smart enough to change the world, but polite enough not to ruin it. Is that worth $32B? Apparently, yes.
Freitag Henry: Not a bag, a damn battle flag
You know that tarp that’s been riding European highways on a truck for 10 years? Freitag turned it into a bag. And not just any bag — the Henry Messenger.
Made from truck tarps + seatbelts, every single one is one-of-a-kind. It doesn’t whisper “style,” it screams “I’ve lived.”
What’s cool: • Tougher than your ex’s heart • Street-style gold — no two bags are alike • Comfy strap, smart layout, built like a tank
What’s not: • Heavy like guilt • Costs $320 — aka “are you serious?” • The inside’s a bit chaotic, but hey, so is life
Bottom line? If you want a bag that outlives you and tells stories when you’re not around — this is it. If you want “neat & sleek,” go back to your Apple Store tote.
Startup founder brings AI avatar to court. Judge says: “Turn that nonsense off.”
A 74-year-old founder of the startup Pro Se Pro, which promises an AI-powered “revolution in self-representation,” showed up to court with a video avatar to argue his case.
The judge wasn’t amused.
She shut it down immediately and told him to speak for himself — unless he was medically unable to.
Spoiler: he wasn’t.
Turns out, courtrooms don’t care for pitch decks or digital doubles.
Product-market fit? Not found.
Corvette just got cyberpunk’d — GM drops a wild EV concept and it's fire
Yo, this ain’t your dad’s sports car. GM just flexed HARD with their new Corvette EV concept, straight outta the future and ready to melt retinas.
Where? Freshly opened UK design studio — yeah, they’re expanding.
What’s the vibe? – Central spine inspired by the OG Sting Ray ‘63. – Apex Vision gives you that sniper-scope road view. – Battery baked into the body. – Aerodynamics tuned for max flex on the track.
And yeah, this is just 1 of 3 concept beasts coming this year.
Verdict? Looks like AI built itself a dream Corvette — and nailed it.
A unicorn. A car. A pharma lab. A24. Let's go.🦄💊🔥
"The Death of a Unicorn" stars Paul Rudd and Iris Apatow as a father-daughter duo who accidentally hit a unicorn — and a dark corporate circus kicks off.
Strange? Yep. Beautiful? Obviously. Trailer's out. Movie’s coming. Stay weird.
Siri 2.0: She might actually do what you ask (sometimes)
Coming this fall, Apple’s giving Siri a major AI glow-up. Allegedly, she’ll now: • Send photos (maybe the right ones) • Remember your family’s flight plans • Understand what’s on your screen without gaslighting you • And when all else fails? Ask ChatGPT for help — the ultimate "can I speak to your manager?" move.
Bonus: No OpenAI account needed… unless you're on an older iPhone, in which case, enjoy screaming into the void.
Launches fall 2025. Will it change everything? Doubtful. But hey, at least Siri will finally try.
🌌 Teen discovers 1.5 million space objects. While you argued with ChatGPT about commas.
18-year-old Matteo Paz from Pasadena pulled off what seasoned astronomers couldn’t: he trained an AI, crunched NASA’s NEOWISE data, and found 1.5 million previously unknown cosmic objects — from supernovae to lurking black holes.
His AI-powered catalog, VarWISE, is already being used in real astrophysics research. Oh, and he bagged $250,000 and a solo scientific paper along the way.
So yeah, maybe it’s time you actually opened that Python tutorial.
❌ CZ Shuts Down Rumors About Testifying Against Justin Sun
Binance founder Changpeng Zhao has denied claims that he’s cooperating with the U.S. DOJ to testify against Tron’s Justin Sun.
The drama: A WSJ article, citing unnamed sources, mentioned a “previously undisclosed deal” between CZ and prosecutors. CZ clapped back: “Funny how they forgot who’s actually in jail. Government witnesses don’t go to prison.”
Justin Sun responded: “No idea where this is coming from. CZ is my friend and mentor — someone I look up to as a founder.”
CZ hinted this might be part of a coordinated lobbying effort against Binance in the U.S.
⚡️ JOJO’S BACK! Steel Ball Run is officially getting an anime adaptation — and the teaser’s out now!
Johnny, Gyro, horses, and stands — you know the vibe.
Release date? Still under wraps. But the hype train’s running full speed
"The Amateur" (2025) trailer just dropped — and Rami Malek is DONE playing nice.
After losing his wife in a terrorist attack, a CIA cryptographer decides to hack his way through the agency and go full revenge-mode. No badge, no rules — just brain, rage, and that signature Malek intensity.
Explosions? Check. High-speed chases? Check. Psychological warfare with a side of encryption? Absolutely.
In theaters April 26. Think John Wick, if John was a code nerd who read Nietzsche.
If Salvador Dalí were alive today, he’d mint his dreams and sell them for ETH.
🎥 The long-lost script "Giraffes on Horseback Salad", written by Dalí in 1937 for the Marx Brothers, is being revived with the help of Google Cloud’s AI. Think: giraffes in gas masks, Harpo Marx chasing gnomes with a butterfly net, and a romance with a faceless woman — classic Dalí madness.
Now Veo 2 turns all that surreal chaos into video, and The Dalí Museum presents it like a digital art rebirth. Let’s be honest — if Dalí had access to Web3, this would already be a trippy NFT collection in the metaverse.
AI + Art = Dalí 2.0
Alright, GPT-4 — it’s time to say goodbye.
Starting April 30, it’s out of ChatGPT’s model picker. OpenAI’s moving us all to GPT-4o — faster, smarter, and can juggle text, images, and audio like a caffeinated circus act.
Why? Because Sam Altman & Co. are pushing us toward the age of "unified intelligence" — where the AI just knowswhat you need. No menus, no fuss. Just vibes and highly optimized code.
GPT-4 had a good run. Now it's GPT-4o's world — we’re just chatting in it.
🤷♂️ WhatsApp still gets updates? Who’s even using this anymore?
Just when you thought everyone had moved on, WhatsApp decided to drop a fresh set of features — like it’s still 2023 and Telegram doesn’t exist.
Here’s what’s “new”: — Real-time ‘Online’ indicators in group chats, so you know exactly who’s ignoring your memes. — Upgraded video calls (finally, less pixel soup). — Channels now support short videos and voice-to-text, because apparently WhatsApp just discovered content.
— iPhone users can now scan documents in-app and set WhatsApp as the default messaging app — welcome to the future.
Bottom line: WhatsApp is trying hard not to go extinct. And maybe—just maybe—it’ll stay relevant for your aunt who still sends you blurry cat pics.
🌚 Pain, brother…
The owner of CryptoPunk #3100 — one of the priciest NFTs ever — just sold it with a $10 million loss.
Let’s all breathe for a second: bought at $16M, sold for $6M. In ETH it’s not that brutal — from 4500 ETH down to 4000. But who’s counting, right?
Ethereum dipped, and with it sank all dreams of Lambos, yachts, and that sweet “never work again” life.
Now this Punk isn’t a flex — he’s a monument to investor pain. The moral? Even pixelated aliens can suck you into a financial black hole. Even if you thought you were holding on to eternity.
‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️Hey friends! Quick heads-up: we did NOT launch any token on Blumpad — that's not us!
Always double-check project descriptions and verify sources before jumping in. If we ever do anything like that, you’ll hear it here first, as always! Stay sharp and safe out there!⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️
Get ready to cry and binge: Season 2 of The Last of Us just hit the net.
The first episode’s already online — and critics? Dropping a wild 93% approval. Same brutal emotions, even more painful twists, and acting that punches you in the heart.
It's darker, sharper, and built to destroy you (in a good way). The press is raving, and we’ve got zero plans to touch grass anytime soon.
Grab tissues, charge your Wi-Fi, and press play — it’s time to suffer beautifully again.
⚡️Bungie is back — say hello to Marathon!
From the minds behind Halo and Destiny, Marathon is a new PvPvE extraction shooter where your 3-person squad grabs loot, fights bots and fends off five other squads to escape alive.
Each character comes with unique abilities, and random events and dynamic weather mean no two runs feel the same. Chaos guaranteed.
Closed alpha drops April 23. Grab access by tuning in on Twitch or joining the official Discord.
Full release set for September 23 on all major platforms — and yes, fully localized in Russian.
Heineken® built a phone case that flips your screen down when you say “cheers” — yes, really
Forget screen time reminders — meet The Flipper, a robotic phone case by Heineken® that physically slaps your phone face-down every time it hears someone say “cheers”. Because scrolling while socializing? Kinda lame.
It’s powered by AI, trained to detect all kinds of celebratory clinks, and it’s the latest in Heineken’s quest to get us all #socialoffsocials.
The wonderfully chaotic inventor Simone Giertz helped test it and said what we’re all thinking: “Being strict with yourself doesn’t work. Flipper does.”
Following the “Boring Phone” and “The Closer,” this new drop is a brilliant reminder to touch grass (or at least touch your beer).
Say it with us: cheers — now drop that phone
⚡️Touch the hologram — for real!
Spanish scientists just unveiled FlexiVol, a 3D holographic display you can actually swipe, pinch, and tap — like a regular screen, but fully touchable in mid-air.
Instead of pixels, it uses a spaghetti curtain of rubber strands that scatter light. A vibration motor keeps the surface in motion, and by adjusting the tension of each strand, it tracks touch with scary precision.
The catch? • It hums like a dying fridge, • Text looks like it’s from a PS1 loading screen, • And you need total darkness to see anything clearly.
Still, it’s like a prototype straight out of Iron Man’s lab. Loud, weird — and totally awesome.
Incident.io raises $62M to put out tech fires — with AI, of course
Think digital fire department. London-based Incident.io just scored $62M in Series B funding to automate incident response like it’s nobody’s business. Their AI-driven platform plugs right into Slack and Teams, coordinates chaos, and writes up postmortems without drama.
With clients like Netflix, Airbnb, and OpenAI, it’s clear they’re not messing around. Backers include Insight Partners, Index Ventures, and Insta’s co-founder, proving that even the biggest names need a little help keeping the lights on.
In 2025, your ops team isn’t complete without an AI buddy ready to say: “Don’t worry, I’ve got this.”
Katy Perry and Blue Origin’s first all-women crew are headed to space on April 14
It’s more than an 11-minute suborbital flight — it’s a milestone. Katy joins journalist Kelly Kings, engineer Janet Elder, activist Amara James, scientist Naomi Rivers, and entrepreneur Lauren Sánchez on mission NS-31.
Each woman brings her own story, purpose, and legacy to the capsule — showing the next generation of girls that space is theirs to dream about too.
Katy has been training hard, diving into astrophysics and prepping like a true astronaut. This mission isn’t just about reaching the stars — it’s about rewriting who gets to go there.
⚡️Mira Murati’s AI startup is going big — $2B in seed funding with zero product in hand.
Ex-OpenAI CTO and Sam Altman’s closest ally, Mira Murati, just launched Thinking Machines Lab — and they’re gunning for a $10B valuation before shipping anything.
Why the hype? The team is stacked: Murati, Schulman, Zoph, Radford, McGrew — all heavyweights from OpenAI, DeepMind, and Anthropic. It’s basically the AI Avengers.
What’s the money for? They aim to build smarter, more customizable, human-aligned AI systems. Think superpowered assistants with transparency and less mystery-box nonsense.
The breakdown:
Target: $2B seed round
Valuation: $10B
Product: still cooking
Investor FOMO: maximum
Welcome to the age of billion-dollar brainstorms. Will it reshape AI — or be the world's most expensive “coming soon” page? Stay tuned.
Gadget of the Day: Meet Toshiba’s Aurex AX-RP10 — a portable vinyl player with Bluetooth 5.4 support!
Perfect for those who want that analog vibe… streaming through wireless earbuds.
Specs you’ll care about: • Plays 33 & 45 RPM, • Bluetooth or 3.5mm output, • 10-hour battery life, • Weighs just 1.2 kg — picnic-friendly.

No price yet, but launch is set for spring.
People really do invent the dumbest sh*t when they’re bored.
Case in point: EyePhone Case — a literal periscope for your phone. Now you can keep scrolling while secretly watching what’s in front of you.
Creepy? Maybe. Genius? Also maybe. Perfect for when you wanna live your life through mirrors.
⚡️ Google’s AI is coming for the power grid
Teaming up with U.S. grid operator PJM (serving 67 million people!), Google is bringing its tech brain Tapestry to make the electric grid smarter.
The plan? Use AI to analyze energy flow in real-time, speed up clean energy hookups, and boost grid safety.
Smarter grids = fewer blackouts = one step closer to a thinking toaster.
So much for AI replacing humans — turns out, it was just a bunch of tired folks in Manila.
⚖️ Albert Saniger, founder of fintech startup Nate, has been charged with fraud after pitching investors a magical “one-click AI shopping” app… that was really powered by humans. Yep, good ol’ manual labor.
Promised full automation? In reality, dozens of people stayed up late to manually process your orders.
$42M in funding went into what prosecutors now call a good story and a bad lie. Saniger might now face up to 20 years — because “fake it till you make it” doesn’t always work out.
The lesson? If your “AI” is just Carl on a keyboard, maybe you’re not building the future. Maybe you’re just winging it.
David Fincher just dropped an Xbox ad — and it SLAPS
🐀➡️🧍♂️ “Awaken the Human Within”
Yup, that David Fincher — Fight Club, Mindhunter, all that — directed an ad for Xbox. And it’s dark, weird, and absolutely brilliant.
The world? Full of office-working, subway-riding humanoid rats. But the few who play Xbox — even on phones and handhelds — are still human.
The main dude? Turns back into a man the moment he boots up an Xbox Series X with a Samsung OLED.
Tagline? “Awaken the Human Within” And damn… it works.
🍏 Apple faces growing lawsuits over delayed Apple Intelligence
Apple is getting hit with yet another class action, this time from both the U.S. and Canada — all because Apple Intelligence still isn’t here.
The key issue? Apple advertised its AI features like they were ready to go, and now plaintiffs say they wouldn’t have bought the iPhone 16 had they known it was mostly marketing smoke.
A similar lawsuit was filed in California last month. Experts say all these cases may be combined to strengthen the case against Apple.
As a reminder, Apple delayed the AI rollout for Siri due to internal development issues. And for now, Siri still isn’t quite the genius we were promised.
Holy trade war, Batman! 💥
China just slapped a brutal 125% tariff on ALL U.S. goods
The trade drama’s hitting Final Boss mode — China officially hikes tariffs on American imports to a wild 125%.
Razer’s already pulled pre-orders, other companies are scrambling to avoid cashflow chaos, and the global supply chain just cracked another energy drink.
Cheap gadgets? Toast. Car parts? Delayed. This isn't just a trade war — it's a full-on economic street fight.
Watch closely, hold your crypto tight. The world’s getting spicy.
