📝 Today's Highlights¶

Today’s top tech coverage signals a major shift in the AI landscape, with the once-close Microsoft-OpenAI partnership showing signs of fracture and competitive tension. Meanwhile, the conversation around artificial general intelligence is maturing, as economists and commentators debate what will remain scarce—like human artistry—even in a world of abundant robotic labor. On the tools front, Google’s native Gemini Mac app and a broader resurgence in native Mac development highlight how AI is driving platform-specific software innovation, even as user experience frustrations persist.
