1. OpenAI Transforms ChatGPT into an Agent Platform
A strategic leap that recasts ChatGPT from a conversational tool into a full-fledged AI-agent ecosystem—complete with an SDK, app store, and transactional commerce layer—blurring the lines between apps and agents and heralding a new era of conversational commerce.

2. True AI is both logically possible and utterly implausible
An incisive philosophical tour de force that dismantles the binary debate between Singulatarian optimism and AItheist skepticism, arguing that our real challenges lie not in dreaming of silicon deities but in designing today’s smart tools with clear-eyed humility.
“We share the infosphere with digital technologies. These are ordinary artefacts that outperform us in ever more tasks, despite being no cleverer than a toaster.” (aeon.co)
3. Creating robots capable of moral reasoning is like parenting
A humane reflection on teaching machines ethics, proposing that moral AI should be raised as intellectual offspring—guided, challenged, and given space to explain themselves—rather than hard-coded with abstract Kantian imperatives.
“They will start off inheriting many of our moral norms… but they will come to reflect on their nature, including their relationships with us and with each other.” (aeon.co)
4. Former Apple Design Chief Jony Ive Reflects on Company Culture, Iconic Products, and a Warning for the Tech Industry
In a rare, hour-long conversation at Stripe Sessions 2025, Ive distills decades of Apple lore into rituals of care—Friday-morning breakfasts, home-office brainstorming—and extends a plea for designers to own their creations’ consequences and bake “joy in humans” back into technology.
“One of the things I thought was great was that every Friday morning… one person on the design team would make breakfast for the whole team.” (macrumors.com)
5. Snapshots of Home. A photo essay
A luminous, twenty-image odyssey through personal memory and place, where each frame—from a grandparent’s embrace to the flag behind a fence—reveals how “home” ripples far beyond geography into identity, hope, and belonging.
“There’s something fascinating about freezing a moment in time with technology that didn’t exist 250 years ago.” (medium.com)
