This Week's Tech Stories That Actually Matter

Trump Summoned Silicon Valley to the White House

Closed doors, big names, bigger stakes. President Trump hosted OpenAI, Nvidia, Meta, and Apple leadership for a national AI strategy summit.

The ask from CEOs? "Predictable regulation" and research support. The message? Silicon Valley wants Uncle Sam as a partner, not a roadblock.

When tech titans start playing nice with Washington, policy is about to get real.

Apple Just Put Your Brain in Charge of Your Phone

iPhone 17 dropped with a neural interface. Hands-free navigation, biometric payments, and machine learning that adapts to how you think.

Developers are calling it a breakthrough for AR and AI apps. Security folks love the "deep privacy" settings. Your phone just got telepathic.

The future of computing is literally mind-blowing.

Adobe and NVIDIA Made Every Writer a Movie Director

Type a script, get a full movie. Adobe and NVIDIA's AI partnership cranks out complete films with backgrounds, actors, audio, and effects from pure text.

Early users are thrilled about "cinema for everyone." Critics are freaking out about deepfake chaos.

Hollywood's about to get very crowded. Or very empty.

Microsoft Doubled Down on Enterprise AI

Azure AI Enterprise Suite 5.0 just landed with agent frameworks, multimodal solutions, and bulletproof compliance for Fortune 500 companies.

The focus? Generative AI for robotics, supply chains, and business analytics. Microsoft's betting big that enterprises want AI that follows the rules.

Stanford's AI Just Schooled DeepMind

New protein folding model hits 99.8% accuracy, beating AlphaFold's previous record. Biotechs are lining up to license the tech for drug discovery and genome editing.

When Stanford one-ups Google, the life sciences world pays attention.

Mayo Clinic's AI Sees Cancer Before Doctors Do

Real-time image analysis catches subtle cancer indicators that trained radiologists miss. Better survival rates, less invasive treatments, earlier detection.

Your next checkup might be diagnosed by an algorithm. And that's probably a good thing.

That's your week. Politics met tech, brains controlled phones, and AI invaded Hollywood. The future keeps accelerating, whether we're ready or not.

Cheers,
Oleg👊

7+ Revenue Streams from One Business

Most companies chase one or two ways to make money. Surf Lakes has at least seven.

At the heart of it all is their patented 360° wave tech that creates 2,000 surfable rides per hour for beginners and pros alike. That single breakthrough unlocks multiple revenue streams: licensing fees, royalties, memberships, day passes, media, coaching, food, retail, and direct park operations.

It’s why surfing legends Tom Curren and Mark “Occy” Occhilupo are investing in the company.

Actor Chris Hemsworth even said this after his Surf Lakes experience: “What an incredible setup! Really thankful I got to test this out…an awesome day.”

Surf tourism is a $65B global industry, yet fewer than 1% of people can access real waves. Surf Lakes makes it possible anywhere, turning cities into surf destinations.

They’ve already sold nine licenses worldwide, and the expansion is coming. Back Surf Lakes by 9/12 and get up to 15% bonus shares.
