No Longer Laughing
I wonder if I am taking things too seriously in life. I will admit to you all that I write for multiple pages online, and that one of those pages had this image on its remaining screen when I went to see what I could add this week. Peliplat was a web site devoted to media, meaning television, movies, anime, videogames, and the like. Many of the contributors seemed to come from the west coast, meaning Vancouver and California (certain articles were all in Spanish). It also ran challenges, but these were far less lucrative in the last years (they gave out something called Light Points for a particularly good piece of writing). And I was a regular contributor this past year…until I noticed something odd.

Apple’s Quietest AI Move Yet: It Didn’t Buy Huxe, It Bought the People
Apple did not buy Huxe. It hired some of its people and licensed its intellectual property. The disclosure sits in a filing with the European Commission, first reported by MacRumors. The wording is narrow: Apple agreed to make employment offers to certain Huxe AI employees and to take a non-exclusive license to Huxe’s IP. No price. No names. No product plan. The filing does not say who received an offer, whether anyone accepted, or what Apple intends to build.

Huawei’s New Chip Shouldn’t Be This Efficient. The Teardown Explains Why It Is.
On October 2, 2026, Geekerwan published Logic Folding Deep Dive! How Strong Is Huawei’s Mate 90 Series Tao’s Law Chip? It is not a routine flagship review. The first half cuts open a Kirin 9050 Pro, images the internals with an electron microscope, and turns “logic folding” from a presentation phrase into a physical structure. The second half runs the Mate 90 Pro Max through benchmarks and games. The performance numbers matter. The teardown matters more. The teardown’s publication may matter most.

America Calls It “Super Intelligence.” China Is Building a Different AI Order
Washington changed the name. The competition did not. On September 29, 2026, the Trump administration did something that looked cosmetic but had broader policy consequences: it instructed the U.S. executive branch to replace “Artificial Intelligence” and “AI” with “Super Intelligence” and “SI” in official correspondence, websites, reports, policy documents and other non-statutory government communications. The executive order says existing AI systems should now be understood under the new term and directs the administration to develop a federal definition of “Super Intelligence.”

AI Wrote the Code. The Experiment Still Failed.
You open Astra Ultra. You find a top conference paper. You ask it to reproduce the results. It hands you a repository. The structure looks clean. The comments are polished. The requirements file is organized. You install dependencies, run the training script, and hit a wall.
