Artificial Intelligence, Business, Design, Digital Marketing, Microsoft, SEO Tips, Technology, United States /

The cull lands on Tuesday. Group Chat, Podcasts, Copilot Labs and consumer Deep Research all retire that day, according to Microsoft’s own support page. Mico goes at the same time, out of the voice experience and into Learn Live as a tutor. The whole thing sits inside a bigger change. Microsoft has started merging its […]

Microsoft told Google it was overreacting in 2010. It has spent five years quietly leaving China

Artificial Intelligence, Business, China, Digital Marketing, Microsoft, SEO Tips, Technology, United States /

Corporate filings show the closures, Reuters reported in an exclusive. The revenue figure is the one that explains the rest. China accounted for 1.5% of global revenue as of 2024. Microsoft has no current plan to exit. It has simply stopped growing there. Put 1.5% against the scale of the company and it almost disappears. […]

Anthropic’s $2trn IPO is priced below what AI stocks already fetch

Anthropic, Artificial Intelligence, Business, Digital Marketing, Next Featured, SEO Tips, Technology, United States /

The number comes from investors, not the company. Six backers told the Financial Times that rising revenue would let the five-year-old lab more than double its valuation in an autumn listing. At $2 trillion it would eclipse SpaceX, which went public at $1.77 trillion in June. Anthropic itself has fixed nothing. Several investors said senior […]

Instagram changed its logo. The bit you actually tap is the same

Business, Design, Digital Marketing, Meta, SEO Tips, social media, Technology, United States /

Instagram changed its wordmark on Thursday. A wordmark is the written name, the word “Instagram” as it appears at the top of the app. It is not the icon. The pink and orange gradient square on your home screen is untouched. The change itself is small. The new type carries cursive curves on the letters […]

SK Hynix is spending $720bn as its shares fall by half

Artificial Intelligence, Deep tech, Digital Marketing, Next Featured, semiconductors, SEO Tips, Technology, United States /

High-bandwidth memory is the part of an AI system that nobody photographs. It sits next to the processor and feeds it data, and if it is too slow the expensive chip waits. It is made by stacking ordinary DRAM, the same memory that goes into laptops and phones. That is why an AI buildout drains […]

Josh Kushner raised $2bn to buy the companies AI is coming for

Artificial Intelligence, Business, Deep tech, Digital Marketing, Investors and funding, SEO Tips, Technology, United States /

Almost every AI business sells a product. Someone builds a model or a tool, licenses it, and hopes the customer works out what to do with it. Thrive Holdings inverts that. It buys accounting firms and IT services companies outright, puts its own engineers inside them, and rebuilds how the work gets done. It now […]

CodeRabbit raised $143m to read the code AI wrote

Artificial Intelligence, Digital Marketing, Europe, Investors and funding, Security, SEO Tips, Technology, United States /

Code review is the step where somebody reads a change before it ships. A developer proposes an edit, opens what the trade calls a pull request, and a colleague checks it for bugs and security holes. It is slow and unglamorous work. Until recently it was also manageable, because roughly one human wrote each change […]
