Introduction:
In this episode, we explore five major stories shaping technology and defense today. First, Apple’s commitment to producing critical iPhone chips at Texas Instruments’ new $60 billion U.S. fabrication plants marks a bold push for domestic semiconductor manufacturing, despite market concerns. Next, we delve into the escalating hypersonic arms race, where Russia and China lead with missiles capable of Mach 27 speeds, prompting the U.S. to develop a satellite network for defense. Then, we look at Roborock’s ambitious plan to make its AI-powered robotic arms affordable for mass adoption and create a ‘robot app store’ targeting companies like Tesla. We also uncover Elon Musk’s attempt to recruit Mark Zuckerberg in a $97 billion hostile takeover bid for OpenAI, now the subject of a federal court investigation. Finally, we examine the federal probe into Tesla’s delayed reporting of vehicle crashes, raising questions about the company’s autonomous driving safety claims.
