The first public beta of iOS 27 is now available. It works on every iPhone that runs iOS 26, but Apple Intelligence features will require an iPhone 15 Pro or newer. The update is focused on performance, stability, and making the iPhone feel even better to use. The biggest addition is Siri AI, which can now hold an ongoing conversation, understand onscreen context, take actions in apps, and answer broad questions.

Apple's lawsuit accusing OpenAI of systematically stealing its intellectual property could disrupt OpenAI's device ambitions long before the case is resolved. The claims may cause many Apple employees to reconsider leaving for OpenAI, and that could slow OpenAI's recruiting pipeline, keep more engineers at Apple, and reduce the flow of institutional knowledge into OpenAI. This, along with several other factors, threatens to slow development. OpenAI is reportedly still on track to announce its first product this year with a release in 2027.

The next Starship test flight could take off as soon as Thursday. The mission will be similar to the last Starship flight in May, but there will be real Starlink satellites inside the vehicle's cargo bay. The Starlink V3 satellites will not be a part of SpaceX's operational network. SpaceX engineers will attempt to briefly establish laser communication links between the Starlink V3s and other spacecraft flying in low-Earth orbit, after which they will fall back into the atmosphere and burn up during reentry.

Apple's SpeechAnalyzer cuts word error rate compared with SFSpeechRecognizer by 3.5x to 4x on the same audio. It beats Whisper Small by a comfortable margin with roughly a third of the compute time per second of audio. SpeechAnalyzer is now the strongest on-device option for English on Apple hardware. Whisper covers far more languages and runs anywhere, but the days of it being the automatic accuracy pick are over.

Many programmers are not as impactful as they could be because they are looking at the code. Looking at the code is suboptimal and often pointless. The amount of code that LLMs generate makes it impractical to read, understand, and edit every line of code. It's more efficient to just control the ideas - how things work, what is the best design, and how to reach a certain level of performance - and then check the implementation for correctness.

For most of history, the bottleneck in making something was the grind - acquiring years of skill, raising money, assembling a team, and getting permission. This caused many ideas to die unmade. AI lifts that bottleneck. The future will be full of strange, beautiful, and slightly pointless things made by individuals who share them to see what happens.

Several states are preparing to file a lawsuit to block Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery as soon as this week. The lawsuit claims that the $111 billion deal would harm competition in the market for tentpole films. Paramount says it is prepared to address legitimate antitrust issues and that the merger raises no such concerns. The companies plan to close the deal in the third quarter of this year. Paramount will pay Warner Bros. Discovery's shareholders about $650 million in cash for each quarter the deal doesn't close starting in October.
