It is absolutely vital you know this technology exists.

[Essential @essential]

Create apps shaped exactly around your specific needs and context.

That's what Essential Apps are.

You describe what you need. AI builds it. It appears on your phone's home screen, ready to use.

One billion apps for one billion people.

Totally unnatural work flow. The gentleman in this video clearly has no idea how the elderly (as he references, "Grandma") use technology.

Here is a more realistic approach.

1. Grandma notices font is too small. She has a difficult time seeing and/or reading the text.

2. Grandma incorrectly asserts Mark Zuckerberg, CEO and Founder of Facebook (now Meta) has developed this computer and blames him for defaulting to such small font. "Ugh, that idiot Zuckerforge* makes the text too damn small. Nobody can see this!"

3. Grandma picks up the laptop and places the camera directly up to her mouth and says, "Alexis, make the font big". When nothing happens she raises her voice, "ALEXIS, MAKE THE FONT BIG". Alexis doesn't respond.

4. Grandma, becoming increasing frustrated, remembers that Alexis is for Amazon, not Microsoft, so she corrects herself. "Siri, make the font big, please". She anxiously waits for a reply but nothing happens again. "SIRI MAKE THE FONT BIG". Siri ignores her pleas.

5. Grandma, exhausting all options, decides to call her children and/or grandchildren for assistance. The conversation begins discussing technology but quickly derails into something else such as the weather, sports, trivia, or (most likely) family gossip.

6. Grandma concludes her troubleshooting by calling Mark Zuckerforge a "stupid Italian" (she falsely believes he's Italian) and decides to stop using the device. Grandma is deeply prejudice to Italians because of an argument she got into with an Italian couple in 1973

Perplexity Comet’s AI assistant can take screenshots of websites and analyze them for users.

However, Comet will also follow instructions hidden on a webpage that it screenshots.

[Christopher Joseph @Chris_Joseph__]

Don’t ever let AI assistants parade as yourself with increased privileges, especially on the internet. There is no way to prevent AI from hallucinating or being “jailbroken” by a malicious actor.

[Brave @brave]

The scariest aspect of these security flaws is that an AI assistant can act with the user’s authenticated privileges.

An agentic browser hijacked by a malicious site can access a user’s banking, work email or other sensitive accounts.

🚨 DeepSeek just did something wild.

They built an OCR system that compresses long text into vision tokens literally turning paragraphs into pixels.

Their model, DeepSeek-OCR, achieves 97% decoding precision at 10× compression and still manages 60% accuracy even at 20×. That means one image can represent entire documents using a fraction of the tokens an LLM would need.

Even crazier? It beats GOT-OCR2.0 and MinerU2.0 while using up to 60× fewer tokens and can process 200K+ pages/day on a single A100.

This could solve one of AI’s biggest problems: long-context inefficiency.
Instead of paying more for longer sequences, models might soon see text instead of reading it.

The future of context compression might not be textual at all.
It might be optical 👁️

The model is quantized to 4-bit and runs pretty well.
