Good morning.<\/strong> Don\u2019t sleep on the latest edition<\/a> of our Fortune 500: Titans and Disruptors of Industry<\/em> podcast, which features Qualcomm<\/a> CEO Cristiano Amon talking about 6G mobile communications turning humans into \u201cwalking cameras,\u201d among other things:
\u201cWe\u2019re going to see devices\u2014we call them personal AI devices. Glasses, for example,\u201d he tells Fortune<\/em> editor-in-chief Alyson Shontell. \u201cIt\u2019s very natural, because if the AI understands what we say, what we hear, what we see\u2014glasses are very close to our senses.\u201d
He later adds: \u201cSo one of the features of 6G of course, is the need to have a network where everything that I see can get streamed to the cloud at a very high performance and high speed. So all of us are going to be walking cameras, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

To quote the meme of Marty Scorsese: It\u2019ll be absolute cinema!

If the extra navigation steps, weirdly overlapping windows, and inconsistently rounded corners of Apple\u2019s \u201cLiquid Glass\u201d interface irritate you, well, there just might be hope for you yet.<\/span>
Apple is reportedly working on a \u201cslight redesign\u201d of the translucent UI\u2019s, um, <\/span>quirks<\/span><\/i> ahead of the rollout of macOS 27, expected to be announced in a month and released in September.<\/span>
What\u2019s that entail? Readability improvements, <\/span>according to Bloomberg<\/em><\/span><\/a>. Tweaked transparency effects so that icons and controls aren\u2019t presumably fighting with what\u2019s beneath them. And hopefully more polish so the \u201cunified visual theme\u201d is a bit more, well, unified.<\/span>
The effort to clean up the operating system\u2019s visuals parallels another to fix what\u2019s under the hood in a reported attempt to address known issues, tighten up code, and unlock performance improvements (e.g. longer battery life).\u00a0<\/span>
It all comes mere months after the departure of Apple design executive Alan Dye, who led user interface design before jumping ship to Meta. His successor, Stephen Lemay, is known for his \u201cattention to detail and craftsmanship,\u201d <\/span>per longtime Apple observer<\/span><\/a> John Gruber\u2014a very necessary attribute at this point in the development cycle.<\/span>
Apple has long oscillated between \u201cnew stuff\u201d updates and \u201cclean up\u201d updates and it\u2019s very much looking like its next Mac operating system will be the latter. Cheers to that. <\/span>\u2014AN<\/span><\/i>
We\u2019re all familiar with Nvidia, the world\u2019s most valuable company, Nvidia the gaming darling turned AI trailblazer, Nvidia the canary in an AI boom coalmine.\u00a0<\/span>
But what about Nvidia the AI investor?<\/span>
Eagle-eyed readers surely have noticed that the Silicon Valley chipmaker has been dropping increasing sums of cash on companies \u201cup and down the AI infrastructure stack,\u201d <\/span>as CNBC<\/em> puts it<\/span><\/a>, in an effort to bolster its own AI chip business.\u00a0<\/span>
A strategically sound move? No doubt. Given the general boom-times of AI, though, it\u2019s also a highly lucrative one.<\/span>
By the news channel\u2019s count, Nvidia has made more than $40 billion in such investments this year alone. Last week, its deal with data center operator IREN gave it the right to invest more than $2 billion in the company. A day before that, a deal with Corning gave it the right to invest more than $3 billion in the historic glassmaker. Last month, it put $2 billion into chipmaker Marvell. And its $5 billion investment in Intel <\/span>last September<\/span><\/a> is now worth an estimated $25 billion.<\/span>
Critics have called such moves \u201ccircular financing\u201d because companies like Nvidia are investing in companies that buy its chips and lease its compute. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the notion was \u201cridiculous\u201d in the wake of Nvidia\u2019s $2 billion investment in CoreWeave earlier this year; others are less defensive about the tactic.<\/span>
One surefire way to find out? Wait for the AI bubble to burst. <\/span>\u2014AN<\/span><\/i>
Sunnyvale\u2019s Cerebras Systems is reportedly planning to boost the price of its initial public offering.<\/span>
Reuters<\/em> reports<\/span><\/a> that Cerebras is considering a new IPO price range of $150 to $160 per share, up from $115 to $125. It\u2019s also reportedly considering selling another two million more shares\u2014for a total of 30 million\u2014than it originally planned.\u00a0<\/span>
Add it all up and the AI chipmaker would no longer be raising $3.5 billion, but $4.8 billion. (Calling Benjamin Braddock: <\/span>I want to say just one word to you, one word: AI.)<\/span><\/i>
For the unfamiliar, Cerebras makes high-performance AI processors. You can think of the company as a David to Nvidia\u2019s Goliath alongside peers SambaNova (backed by Intel and others) and Groq (essentially acqui-hired by Nvidia). Cerebras\u2019 wares are particularly suited to so-called inference, aligning well with the general industry shift from AI model training to AI model deployments.<\/span>
In other words, its IPO is hot hot <\/span>hot<\/span><\/i>. Two years after its abandoned attempt to go public, Cerebras has \u201cdrawn orders for more than 20 times the number of shares available,\u201d Reuters<\/em> reports. Strap in for May 13. <\/span>\u2014AN<\/span><\/i>
\u2014<\/span>Agentic AI will be the top cause of data breaches<\/b><\/a> this year, Experian estimates.<\/span>
\u2014<\/span>The IT sector unemployment rate<\/b><\/a> rose two-tenths of a percentage point in a month. (The cause rhymes with \u201csay why.\u201d)<\/span>
\u2014<\/span>Your AI-transcribed meeting notes<\/b><\/a> may be discoverable in lawsuits.<\/span>
\u2014<\/span>General Motors to pay $12.75 million<\/b><\/a> to resolve a California investigation into claims that it illegally sold OnStar subscriber data to brokers.<\/span>
\u2014<\/span>Microsoft and G42's billion-dollar geothermal data center<\/b><\/a> in Kenya stalls.<\/span>
\u2014<\/span>ByteDance will increase its 2026 capital expenditures<\/b><\/a> to more than $30 billion thanks to AI competition and high memory costs.<\/span>
\u2014<\/span>Iran's 72-days-and-counting internet blackout<\/b><\/a> breaks records and businesses.<\/span>
