Google Stitch: 5 Features That Are Redefining Design

When Google unveiled Stitch in March 2026, it didn’t just launch another design tool—it sent shockwaves through an industry long dominated by Figma. By abandoning wireframes in favor of “Vibe Design,” letting you speak directly to your canvas with Gemini Live, and introducing a universal handoff format called DESIGN.md, Stitch isn’t an incremental update.

The $14 Trillion Warning: AI’s Riches Will Be a “Few and the Rest” Story

Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, warns the AI boom risks worsening inequality, with rewards flowing only to a handful of firms and investors. In his annual letter, he noted that AI threatens to repeat—and amplify—a pattern where wealth accrues to those who already own assets. His solution: more people should invest in capital markets rather than rely on homeownership. The warning comes as BlackRock manages $14tn and Fink’s own $30.8m pay package has drawn shareholder scrutiny.

The Book With No Words

When 10,000 authors want to make a point, sometimes the loudest statement is silence. Don't Steal This Book — a volume whose pages contain nothing but a list of names — arrived at the London Book Fair this week as a stark protest against AI companies training their models on writers' work without permission or payment.

Anthropic's Battle With the Pentagon

Anthropic has found itself, reluctantly, as one of the only checks on the military's expanding AI ambitions — a role no private company was built to play

Sam Altman Admits OpenAI Has No Control Over Pentagon's AI Use

Sam Altman admitted to employees that OpenAI has no control over how the Pentagon uses its AI in military operations, saying "you do not get to make operational decisions" about strikes or invasions. The admission comes as the Pentagon pressures AI companies to remove safety guardrails for broader military applications. Rival company Anthropic recently refused a deal with the Pentagon over ethical concerns and was labeled a "supply-chain risk" by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, while OpenAI quickly partnered with the military instead.

OpenAI's "Sloppy" Pentagon Deal Sparks Surveillance Fears and User Revolt

OpenAI is facing a user revolt after hastily striking a deal to supply AI to the US Department of War, a move its own CEO admitted looked "opportunistic and sloppy." The contract, signed immediately after the Pentagon dropped previous contractor Anthropic, sparked fears that ChatGPT's technology could be used for domestic mass surveillance. Despite OpenAI's insistence that the deal included strict guardrails, critics drew parallels to the Snowden scandal, triggering a "delete ChatGPT" campaign on social media.

Burger King Wants Its Staff to Say Please. It's Hired AI to Make Sure They Do

When Burger King's new AI system "Patty" detects that an employee forgot to say "please," a manager will know. When a bathroom needs cleaning, Patty will know that too. In the fast-food industry's latest experiment with artificial intelligence, the question isn't just whether your order is accurate — it's whether the person taking it sounds friendly enough to satisfy an algorithm.

OpenAI to work with Pentagon after Anthropic dropped by Trump over company’s ethics concerns

How a standoff between Silicon Valley and the Pentagon is forcing every major AI company to declare what its technology will — and won't — be used for.

One Prompt, Four Personalities: Why AI Can’t Agree on Design

We asked ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and DeepSeek the exact same question: “How should we redesign the 'Add to Cart' flow to reduce friction for mobile users?” If they are all "intelligent," why do they speak different languages? The answer lies in their DNA.

The AI Doomsday Scenario Rattling Wall Street

Citrini Research's viral "scenario" imagines AI agents dismantling the US economy piece by piece, from wiping out white-collar jobs to triggering a mortgage crisis and a 57% stock market crash by 2028. Speculative as it is, markets are already reacting — and that may be the most unsettling part of all.

Amazon AI Outage Raises Concerns Over Automation Risks in AWS Cloud Infrastructure

Amazon’s push toward AI-driven efficiency has come under scrutiny after reports that an internal outage at Amazon Web Services was triggered by one of its own AI agents. While the company attributes the disruption to user misconfiguration rather than artificial intelligence itself, experts warn that autonomous systems can act without fully grasping broader consequences, raising fresh concerns about the risks of replacing human oversight with automation.

OpenAI Banned Account Later Linked to One of Canada’s Deadliest School Shootings

OpenAI revealed it had flagged and later banned the account of an individual months before he carried out one of Canada’s deadliest school shootings. While the activity raised concerns, it did not meet the threshold for referral to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police at the time.
