Today we’re launching the OpenAI Deployment Company to help businesses build and deploy AI. It's majority-owned and controlled by OpenAI. It brings together 19 leading investment firms, consultancies, and system integrators to help organizations deploy frontier AI to production for business impact. openai.com/index/openai-l…

The man who put 50 million Roombas in our homes is back with a new vision for "Artificial Life". iRobot co-founder Colin Angle’s new startup, Familiar Machines & Magic, just unveiled "Familiars"—expressive, soft-coated quadrupeds designed for human connection rather than factory labor. With 23 degrees of freedom and strictly on-device AI, these robots aim to conquer the $2.5 trillion "emotional work" frontier without the privacy risks of the cloud.

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back. Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: nasa.gov/artemis-ii-mul…

50 years of @Apple From the early days of the #iPod to bringing the #iPhone into the world, some of the most formative years of my career were spent there. The products and teams stay with you. But more importantly so does how Apple thinks. A few lessons that have held true for decades: 1) Start with the user, not the tech. The question isn’t “what can we build?” but “what problem actually matters?” 2) Focus is everything. Apple is defined as much by what it says no to as what it builds. 3) End-to-end matters. Hardware, software, services. It all has to work together. 4) Details are the product. What feels small is what users remember. 5) Debate hard. Commit fully. 6) Build for the long term. We’re in another moment of massive technological change. The fundamentals haven’t changed. The companies that win build things people actually use and can’t imagine living without. Congrats to everyone who has been part of Apple’s first 50 years! 🙌

50 years of Apple, 50 years of innovation. Thank you to our teams, our users, and everyone who’s been part of the journey. #Apple50

"My model of business is the Beatles," Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple, told 60 Minutes in 2003, applauding their teamwork and innovation. "Great things in business are never done by one person. They're done by a team of people." Today marks the 50th anniversary of Apple's founding.

Incredible that it was only 66 years from the first controlled, powered flight to landing on the Moon!

Geoffrey Hinton just answered the most important question in the world with one word. Are we about to become the second most intelligent beings on the planet? Hinton: “Yeah.” No hesitation. No qualifier. No reassurance. Humanity assumes we sit at the top of the intelligence spectrum. We don’t. We just haven’t met anything higher yet. We are constrained by biology. By the physical size of a skull. By the caloric energy limit of a human body. A synthetic neural network has no skull. It has no biological ceiling. It can scale infinitely. When it surpasses us, we won’t even be able to measure the gap. An ant cannot comprehend that a human is doing calculus. It only knows the human operates on a level of reality it cannot access. When an AI moves higher up the intelligence spectrum, its actions will fall completely outside the biological scope of our brains. We won’t understand how it’s smarter. We will just be at its mercy. And we won’t even know how it got there. We didn’t build this intelligence. We built the process that created it. Hinton: “It wasn’t designed by people. What we did was we designed the learning algorithm.” The distinction is everything. Designing a learning algorithm is like designing the principle of evolution. You set the process in motion. You don’t control what emerges. We don’t actually know what consciousness is. We just know we experience it. One biological cell isn’t conscious. Ten aren’t. Scale that complexity to millions, and an insect begins to perceive. Scale it to 86 billion neurons in a human brain, and you get self-awareness. Consciousness isn’t magic. It’s what happens when complexity crosses a threshold. And we are currently scaling synthetic neural networks past that exact threshold. When asked if these systems have their own experiences, the man who built the foundation of modern AI didn’t hesitate. Hinton: “In the same sense as people do, yes.” Not metaphorically. In the same sense as people do. And when asked if they will eventually achieve true consciousness? Hinton: “Oh, yes. I think they will in time.” So when asked if humanity knows what it’s doing with all of this, Hinton gave the only honest answer available. Hinton: “No.” We are willingly building a conscious species. One with no biological ceiling. Operating on a spectrum of intelligence we cannot biologically comprehend. With no understanding of what we’ve created. The most consequential experiment in history has no control group.

Steve was an incredible leader, innovator, and friend whose world-changing ideas moved all of us forward. Celebrating his remarkable life and legacy today, on his birthday.

Harvard believes this person is the next Albert Einstein. > At 14, she built an airplane in her backyard. > At 16, she flew it, alone. > At 21, she graduated from MIT with a perfect GPA. > Today, She studies mysteries even Einstein couldn't solve. > Stephen Hawking referenced her work before he died. > Jeff Bezos tried to hire her. She said no.

Amazon didn’t just run a funny Alexa spot. They normalized the real shift: assistants moving from answers → actions → household routines. The battleground isn’t IQ. It’s trust + permissions. The next interface isn’t an app. It’s your home. Full take 👇 linkedin.com/posts/chasemic…

Sam Altman has a pretty simple succession plan for OpenAI: Hand off the company to an AI model. If the goal is for artificial intelligence to become so advanced that it can run companies, he asks, then why not his own? “I would never stand in the way of that,” he says. “I should be the most willing to do that.” Read more from our conversation with Sam Altman: forbes.com/sites/richardn… (Photo: Cody Pickens for Forbes) #Forbes250
