Je me suis encore tapé une bonne petite insomnie cette nuit, donc je me suis levé pour bosser et je suis tombé tout à fait par hasard sur ce PDF qui présente la “Théorie de la stupidité” de Dietrich Bonhoeffer, complété par une analyse de Carlo Cipolla sur “les lois fondamentales de la stupidité humaine”.

Je ne connaissais pas ces 2 gars ni leurs écrits, mais franchement, tous les jours ou presque je vois l’ampleur de la catastrophe et ça fait grimper ma pression artérielle. Et comme je ne comprends pas bien ce phénomène et que je ne sais pas trop comment m’y prendre pour y faire face, ça a évidemment attiré mon attention et je voulais partager ça avec vous.

Quand George Hotz, alias geohot, décide de donner des conseils à une boîte de semiconducteurs, ça donne un README de 100 lignes sur GitHub qui commence par “If you want to get acquired / become scam IP licensing co…I can’t help you.” C’est “subtil” ^^. Le hacker qui a jailbreaké le premier iPhone et qui fait maintenant rouler des voitures autonomes avec comma.ai vient de publier ses “conseils” pour Tenstorrent.

Pour ceux qui ne suivent pas le marché des puces IA de près, Tenstorrent c’est LA boîte qui fait rêver en ce moment. Fondée par Jim Keller (oui, LE Jim Keller qui a conçu les architectures x86-64 chez AMD et les puces A4/A5 d’Apple), l’entreprise développe des processeurs spécialement conçus pour l’IA avec une approche “dataflow” plutôt que l’architecture SIMD classique des GPU.

Si vous aimez faire un peu de reverse engineering, et que souvent, vous galérez à déchiffrer du code assembleur qui ressemble à des hiéroglyphes, alors voici un outil qui devrait vous plaire. Développé par les frenchies Louis Gauthier et Clément Florval, DecompAI transforme vos sessions d’analyse de binaires en conversations parfaitement naturelles pour décortiquer vos binaires.

Avec DecompAI, c’est terminé le jonglage permanent entre différents outils tels que Ghidra pour décompiler, GDB pour débugger, objdump pour désassembler, ou radare2 pour analyser. Cette fragmentation vous oblige à maintenir mentalement le contexte entre les applications, ça ralentit votre workflow et ça multiplie les risques d’erreur. Du coup, cette approche conversationnelle a son intérêt car au lieu de mémoriser des dizaines de commandes cryptiques, vous décrivez simplement vos besoins en langage naturel du genre : “Décompile-moi la fonction main”, “Montre-moi les strings intéressantes” ou “Analyse cette fonction suspecte”. L’agent DecompAI orchestre alors automatiquement les bons outils avec les paramètres appropriés.

Aaaah si seulement on avait des stagiaires en cybersécurité capable de lire 100 000 lignes de code en quelques secondes et de repérer des indices que même les experts ratent.

Et bien c’est exactement ce que o3 d’OpenAI vient de faire en découvrant la CVE-2025-37899, une vulnérabilité critique dans le noyau Linux que personne n’avait encore vue. Et d’après son auteur, cette découverte, c’est une première mondiale car jamais auparavant une IA n’avait trouvé une vulnérabilité zero-day de cette complexité dans un composant aussi critique.

The trend of having a fusion of analog and digital photographs doesn’t seem to be just a trend anymore as we’re seeing a lot of brands still thriving. There is a certain joy in having printed photos adorn your wallet, journal, or wall, no matter if you’re Gen X or a Millenial or Gen Alpha. It’s not just about memory keeping or photography sometimes as it’s also an expression of creativity when you use various other things to decorate it or you use it as actual decoration. We see brands also embrace the creative aspect that collectors get from tangible photographs and this latest collaboration between two giants of creativity is one that you have to watch out for.

This exciting new partnership sees Polaroid, a brand synonymous with instant photography, joining forces with the prestigious Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) to create a truly unique and collectible item. At the heart of this collaboration is a limited-edition iteration of the highly sought-after Polaroid Now Generation 3 Instant Camera. This special MoMA Edition stands out with its visually arresting monochrome blue finish, a sleek and modern aesthetic that perfectly complements the iconic MoMA logo, which is prominently displayed as a mark of this creative union.

Designer: Polaroid and MoMA

Adding a touch of personalization and style, the camera is accompanied by not just one, but three interchangeable neck straps. Each strap boasts a distinct color-blocking design, allowing users to switch them out to match their personal style or mood, making this camera as much a fashion statement as it is a tool for capturing memories. There is also a limited-edition i-Type Film MoMA Edition pack that has 8 of the 12 designed special frames. They are either marked with the MoMA logo or it has quotes from famous artists like An-My Lê, Betye Saar, Carmen Herrera, Meret Oppenheim, Milton Glaser, and Vincent van Gogh. This adds another layer of creativity and inspiration as the quotes from these groundbreaking artists can challenge new creatives to defy convention and tread their own path.

This exciting collaboration between Polaroid and MoMA beautifully illustrates the enduring appeal of tangible photography and the boundless power of artistic inspiration. By offering a unique camera and film adorned with iconic imagery and thought-provoking quotes, they’re providing a catalyst for creativity, encouraging individuals to capture their world through an artistic lens, one instant photograph at a time.

Let’s be honest, the tech world hasn’t felt this electric since Steve Jobs pulled the original iPhone from his pocket. Sure, we felt a few sparks fly in 2024 when Rabbit and Humane announced their AI devices, but that died down pretty quickly post-launch. However, when news broke that OpenAI had acquired Jony Ive’s mysterious startup “io” for a staggering $6.5 billion, the speculation machine kicked into overdrive. What exactly are the legendary Apple designer and ChatGPT’s creators cooking up together? The official announcement speaks vaguely of “a new family of products” and moving beyond traditional interfaces, but the details remain frustratingly sparse.

What we do know with certainty is limited. OpenAI and Ive’s company, io, are building something that’s reportedly “screen-free,” pocket-sized, and designed to bring AI into the physical world in a way that feels natural and ambient. The founding team includes Apple veterans Scott Cannon, Evans Hankey, and Tang Tan, essentially the hardware dream team that shaped the devices in your pocket and on your wrist. Beyond these confirmed facts lies a vast expanse of rumors, educated guesses, and wishful thinking. So let’s dive into what this device might be, with the appropriate grains of salt at the ready.

The Design: Ive’s Aesthetic Philosophy Reimagined

If there’s one thing we can reasonably predict, it’s that whatever emerges from Ive’s studio will be obsessively considered down to the micron. His design language at Apple prioritized simplicity, honest materials, and what he often called “inevitable” solutions, designs that feel so right they couldn’t possibly be any other way. A screen-free AI device presents a fascinating challenge: how do you create something tactile and intuitive without the crutch of a display?

I suspect we’ll see a device that feels substantial yet effortless in the hand, perhaps with a unibody construction milled from a single piece of material. Aluminum seems likely given Ive’s history, though ceramic would offer an interesting premium alternative with its warm, almost organic feel. The absence of a screen suggests the device might rely on subtle surface textures, perhaps with areas that respond to touch or pressure. Ive’s obsession with reducing visual complexity, eliminating unnecessary seams, screws, and buttons, will likely reach its logical conclusion here, resulting in something that looks deceptively simple but contains remarkable complexity.

Color choices will probably be restrained and sophisticated, think the elegant neutrals of Apple’s “Pro” lineup rather than the playful hues of consumer devices. I’d wager on a palette of silver, space gray, and possibly a deep blue, with surface finishes that resist fingerprints and wear gracefully over time. The environmental considerations that have increasingly influenced Ive’s work will likely play a role too, with recycled materials and sustainable manufacturing processes featured prominently in the eventual marketing narrative.

Technical Possibilities: AI in Your Pocket

The technical challenge of creating a screen-free AI device is immense. Without a display, every interaction becomes an exercise in invisible design, the device must understand context, anticipate needs, and communicate through means other than visual interfaces. This suggests an array of sophisticated sensors and input methods working in concert.

Voice recognition seems an obvious inclusion, likely using multiple microphones for spatial awareness and noise cancellation. Haptic feedback, perhaps using Apple-like Taptic Engine technology or something even more advanced, could provide subtle physical responses to commands or notifications. The device might incorporate motion sensors to detect when it’s being handled or carried, automatically waking from low-power states. Some reports hint at environmental awareness capabilities, suggesting cameras or LiDAR might be included.

The processing requirements for a standalone AI device are substantial. Running large language models locally requires significant computational power and memory, all while maintaining reasonable battery life. This points to custom silicon, possibly developed with TSMC or another major foundry, optimized specifically for AI workloads. Whether OpenAI has the hardware expertise to develop such chips in-house remains an open question, though their Microsoft partnership might provide access to specialized hardware expertise. Battery technology will be crucial; a device that needs charging multiple times daily would severely limit its utility as an always-available AI companion.

The User Experience: Beyond Screens and Apps

The most intriguing aspect of this rumored device is how we’ll actually use it. Without a screen, traditional app paradigms become irrelevant. Instead, we might see a return to conversational computing, speaking naturally to an assistant that understands context and remembers previous interactions. The “ambient computing” vision that’s been promised for years might finally materialize.

I imagine a device that feels less like a gadget and more like a presence, something that fades into the background until needed, then responds with uncanny intelligence. Perhaps it will use subtle audio cues or haptic patterns to indicate different states or notifications. The lack of a visual interface could actually enhance privacy; without a screen displaying potentially sensitive information, the device becomes more discreet in public settings. Of course, this also raises questions about accessibility, how will deaf users interact with a primarily audio-based device?

Integration with existing ecosystems will be crucial for adoption. Will it work seamlessly with your iPhone, Android device, or Windows PC? Can it control your smart home devices or integrate with your calendar and messaging apps? The answers remain unknown, but OpenAI’s increasingly broad partnerships suggest they understand the importance of playing nicely with others. The real magic might come from its predictive capabilities, anticipating your needs based on time, location, and past behavior, then proactively offering assistance without explicit commands.

Market Positioning and Price Speculation

How much would you pay for an AI companion designed by the man behind the iPhone? The pricing question looms large over this project. Premium design and cutting-edge AI technology don’t come cheap, suggesting this will be positioned as a high-end device. Looking at adjacent markets provides some clues, Humane’s AI Pin launched at $699, while Rabbit’s R1 came in at $199, though both offer significantly less sophisticated experiences than what we might expect from OpenAI and Ive.

My educated guess places the device somewhere between $499 and $799, depending on capabilities and materials. A lower entry point might be possible if OpenAI adopts a subscription model for premium AI features, subsidizing hardware costs through recurring revenue. The target market initially appears to be tech enthusiasts and professionals, people willing to pay a premium for cutting-edge technology and design, before potentially expanding to broader consumer segments as costs decrease and capabilities improve.

As for timing, the supply chain whispers and regulatory tea leaves suggest we’re looking at late 2025 at the earliest, with full availability more likely in 2026. Hardware development cycles are notoriously unpredictable, especially for first-generation products from newly formed teams. The $6.5 billion acquisition price suggests OpenAI sees enormous potential in this collaboration, but also creates substantial pressure to deliver something truly revolutionary.

The Competitive Landscape: A New Category Emerges

The AI hardware space is still in its infancy. Early entrants like Humane have struggled with fundamental questions about utility and user experience. What makes a dedicated AI device compelling when smartphones already offer capable assistants? The answer likely lies in specialized capabilities that phones can’t match, perhaps always-on contextual awareness without battery drain, or privacy guarantees impossible on multipurpose devices.

OpenAI and Ive are betting they can define a new product category, much as Apple did with the iPhone and iPad. Success will require not just technical excellence but a compelling narrative about why this device deserves space in your life. The competition won’t stand still either, Apple’s rumored AI initiatives, Google’s hardware ambitions, and countless startups will ensure a crowded marketplace by the time this device launches.

The most fascinating aspect might be how this hardware play fits into OpenAI’s broader strategy. Does physical embodiment make AI more trustworthy, useful, or personable? Will dedicated devices provide capabilities impossible through software alone? These philosophical questions underpin the entire project, suggesting that Ive and Altman share a vision that extends beyond quarterly profits to how humans and AI will coexist in the coming decades.

What This Could Mean for the Future of Computing

If successful, this collaboration could fundamentally reshape our relationship with technology. The screen addiction that defines contemporary digital life might give way to something more ambient and less demanding of our visual attention. AI could become a constant companion rather than an app we occasionally summon, always listening, learning, and assisting without requiring explicit commands for every action.

The privacy implications are both promising and concerning. A device designed from the ground up for AI interaction could incorporate sophisticated on-device processing, keeping sensitive data local rather than sending everything to the cloud. Conversely, an always-listening companion raises obvious surveillance concerns, requiring thoughtful design and transparent policies to earn user trust.

For Jony Ive, this represents a chance to define the post-smartphone era, potentially creating his third revolutionary product category after the iPod and iPhone. For OpenAI, hardware provides a direct channel to users, bypassing platform gatekeepers like Apple and Google. The stakes couldn’t be higher for both parties, and for us, the potential users of whatever emerges from this collaboration.

Waiting for the Next Big Thing

The partnership between OpenAI and Jony Ive represents the most intriguing collision of AI and design talent we’ve seen yet. While concrete details remain scarce, the ambition is clear: to create a new kind of computing device that brings artificial intelligence into our physical world in a way that feels natural, beautiful, and essential.

Will they succeed? History suggests caution; creating new product categories is extraordinarily difficult, and first-generation devices often disappoint (raise your hands if you own a bricked Humane AI Pin or Rabbit R1. Yet the combination of OpenAI’s technical prowess and Ive’s design sensibility offers reason for optimism. Whatever emerges will undoubtedly be thoughtfully designed and technically impressive. Whether it finds a permanent place in our lives depends on whether it solves real problems in ways our existing devices cannot.

For now, we wait, analyzing every patent filing, supply chain rumor, and cryptic statement for clues about what’s coming. The anticipation itself speaks volumes about the state of consumer technology: in an era of incremental smartphone updates and me-too products, we’re hungry for something genuinely new. Jony Ive and Sam Altman just might deliver it.

Embarking on outdoor adventures often means leaving behind the comforts of home, particularly when it comes to keeping food and drinks fresh. Whether you’re camping in remote locations, road-tripping across the country, or simply enjoying a day at the beach, the challenge of maintaining a reliable cold chain for perishables can quickly turn an exciting expedition into a frustrating experience. Traditional coolers with ice packs might work for a day, but they create a soggy mess and require constant replenishment, making them impractical for extended trips.

The EcoFlow GLACIER Classic Portable Refrigerator aims to solve these common outdoor food storage problems with a practical approach to portable refrigeration. Unlike its predecessor, which featured an integrated ice maker, the GLACIER Classic focuses on maximizing storage space while maintaining impressive cooling performance. Available in three sizes (35L, 45L, and 55L), this portable refrigerator promises to keep your provisions perfectly chilled without requiring constant attention or maintenance.

Aesthetics

The EcoFlow GLACIER Classic doesn’t try to win any beauty contests with its straightforward design philosophy that prioritizes function over flashy aesthetics. At first glance, it resembles an oversized cooler with a clean, minimalist exterior that won’t turn heads but won’t embarrass you either. The understated appearance belies the thoughtful engineering underneath, offering practical features that matter to users while eliminating unnecessary frills that would only add to the cost and complexity without providing tangible benefits to the outdoor experience.

What the GLACIER Classic lacks in visual excitement, it makes up for with impressive space efficiency, packing substantial storage capacity into a surprisingly compact footprint. The refrigerator is approximately 40% smaller than comparable models on the market, yet it can accommodate an impressive amount of provisions: the largest 55L model can hold up to 90 standard beverage cans. You don’t even have to repack those 8-pack soda can bundles to fit them inside, making the packing process less of a chore.

Part of the GLACIER Classic’s diet trick is removing unnecessary features. Unlike the original GLACIER model, this Classic version omits the built-in ice maker, a convenience that sounded good on paper but was not used that much in outdoor scenarios after all. Removing it not only significantly increased the interior space but also reduced the overall bulk and weight of the product. It doesn’t hurt that it also helped reduce the price tag, too!

The color scheme sticks to the typical EcoFlow black and silver that won’t show dirt and grime accumulated during outdoor use, a thoughtful choice that outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate after a few dusty trips. The control panel features an intuitive layout with clearly marked buttons and indicators that remain visible even in bright sunlight, allowing for quick temperature adjustments without requiring users to consult the manual repeatedly. All in all, the EcoFlow GLACIER Classic’s simple appearance belies the power it hides, giving credence to the advice not to judge a book by its cover.

Ergonomics

Despite its reduced size, at least compared to other portable refrigerators of the same capacity, the EcoFlow GLACIER Classic is clearly still a heavy unit. Unlike its predecessor, there are no detachable wheels and levers to help you roll the portable refrigerator around. Instead, the design optimizes for the most common use case: keeping the box in the car trunk, whether in transportation or in use.

The GLACIER Classic features thoughtfully designed foldable handles that extend wide for comfortable carrying but tuck away neatly against the body. This clever design element ensures nothing protrudes from the sides when the refrigerator is packed into tight spaces like vehicle trunks or storage compartments, maximizing the efficient use of limited space during transport while still providing ergonomic carrying options when you need to move the unit from your vehicle to your campsite or outdoor gathering spot.

One of the smartest and most practical features is the dual-direction lid that can be opened from either of the long sides, providing flexible access regardless of how the refrigerator is positioned in your vehicle or at your campsite. This seemingly simple design choice eliminates the frustration of having to reposition the entire unit when access is blocked on one side, a common problem with traditional coolers and refrigerators that have single-direction openings.

The EcoFlow mobile app adds another layer of convenience, allowing users to monitor and adjust temperature settings remotely without standing beside the refrigerator all the time. Mirroring its design choices, EcoFlow listened to customer feedback to focus on the essentials and shed off any unnecessary features that burden the users or their pockets.

Performance

The EcoFlow GLACIER Classic comes equipped with a removable 298Wh battery that delivers an impressive runtime of up to 43 hours for the 35L model and approximately 39 hours for the larger 45L and 55L versions. This substantial battery capacity means you can maintain proper food storage temperatures throughout a weekend camping trip without needing to recharge, providing peace of mind when venturing into areas without reliable power sources. The temperature range is equally impressive, spanning from -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F), keeping drinks cool and ingredients frozen until you’re ready to cook them.

The removable divider system deserves special mention for its clever multifunctionality. Beyond organizing the interior space, it creates configurable temperature zones with up to 4.2°C (39.6°F) difference between compartments, allowing users to store different types of food at their optimal temperatures simultaneously. This means you can configure the unit as a refrigerator, freezer, or combination of both, depending on their specific needs for each adventure and eliminating the need for separate cooling solutions for different types of provisions. The divider even doubles as a cutting board, saving precious packing space by combining two essential camping tools into one multifunctional component that enhances the overall utility of the refrigerator during outdoor meal preparation.

The versatility of the GLACIER Classic extends to its charging capabilities, with multiple options to keep the unit powered in virtually any situation. Users can charge via standard AC outlets, car chargers, compatible solar panels (11-30V input, up to 110W), specialized EcoFlow alternator chargers, or even through the 100W USB-C port. For maximum charging speed, combining the USB-C and XT60 alternator connections can deliver up to 200W of charging power, replenishing the battery in just 1.5 hours.

Beyond its primary cooling function, the unit doubles as an emergency power bank through its 100W USB-C output port, capable of charging laptops, phones, and other devices when traditional power sources are unavailable during extended outdoor excursions. It definitely won’t stand up to EcoFlow’s dedicated solar power stations, especially since it’s also using its power to run the refrigerator, but it’s a nice convenience when you’re out of charging ports to use. That said, it would have been nice if there were two of these, even if it means halving the output when both are in use.

The companion app provides detailed insights into power consumption patterns, allowing users to optimize settings for their specific usage scenarios and remaining battery capacity. The app also gives users a heads-up not only when the battery is low but also when temperatures deviate by 5°C from the set level for over 10 minutes, ensuring that you can take action to keep your food and drinks safe.

Sustainability

The GLACIER Classic demonstrates EcoFlow’s commitment to sustainable design through its user-replaceable battery system, which significantly extends the product’s useful lifespan. Rather than discarding the entire unit or going through an expensive process when the battery eventually degrades, users can simply replace the battery module, reducing electronic waste and maximizing the long-term value of their investment. This approach not only benefits the environment but also provides practical advantages for users who can carry spare batteries for extended trips, swapping depleted batteries for fresh ones to maintain continuous cooling without waiting for recharging during critical food storage situations.

The refrigerator’s compatibility with solar charging further enhances its sustainability credentials, allowing users to power the unit entirely with renewable energy when camping in sunny locations. This solar capability makes the GLACIER Classic particularly valuable for extended off-grid adventures, where traditional power sources are unavailable but sunlight is abundant. By harnessing solar energy, outdoor enthusiasts can maintain proper food storage temperatures indefinitely without consuming fossil fuels or depleting limited battery resources, creating a truly sustainable solution for wilderness food preservation that aligns with environmentally conscious outdoor recreation principles.

Value

The EcoFlow GLACIER Classic delivers impressive functionality at a competitive price point, with the 35L model starting at $799, the 45L at $899, and the 55L at $1,199, though early bird pricing drops these figures to $699, $799, and $899, respectively, from April 25 to May 25. When comparing these prices to similar portable refrigerators on the market, the GLACIER Classic offers exceptional value, particularly considering its versatile temperature zones, substantial battery life, and multifunctional features that eliminate the need for separate cooling solutions. While the original GLACIER model included an ice maker, market feedback suggested this feature wasn’t essential for most users, and its omission in the Classic version allows for more storage space at a lower price point.

The GLACIER Classic isn’t the only game in town, though, but it easily outshines the competition in key areas. Compared to an $800 40L portable refrigerator, the EcoFlow GLACIER Classic 45L is 20% smaller. Even the 55L is still 7% smaller, proving how compact the design really is. It’s also lighter, making it easier to make room for the portable refrigerator and transport it. And, unlike the competition, the GLACIER Classic’s removable divider lets you decide how much space you want to allocate for the freezer or the refrigerator, putting you in charge rather than being at the mercy of the product’s design.

For outdoor enthusiasts who prioritize practical functionality over novelty features, the GLACIER Classic represents a sound investment that will enhance countless adventures for years to come. The combination of ample storage capacity, flexible configuration options, and multiple charging methods ensures the refrigerator can adapt to virtually any outdoor scenario, from weekend camping trips to extended overland expeditions. When factoring in the long-term savings from not purchasing ice, the convenience of always having properly chilled food and beverages, and the extended product lifespan enabled by the replaceable battery, the initial purchase price becomes even more reasonable for serious outdoor enthusiasts who regularly need reliable food storage solutions beyond what traditional coolers can provide.

Verdict

Outdoor adventures should be about creating memorable experiences, not stressing over logistical challenges like keeping food fresh and beverages cold. Too often, travelers find themselves burdened with bulky, inefficient cooling solutions that consume valuable space and require constant maintenance, detracting from the freedom and spontaneity that make outdoor exploration so rewarding. The right portable refrigeration system should fade into the background, quietly performing its essential function without demanding attention or compromising your mobility and flexibility during adventures of any duration or intensity.

The EcoFlow GLACIER Classic Portable Refrigerator successfully achieves this balance, offering reliable cooling performance in a practical package that prioritizes the features outdoor enthusiasts actually need. Its thoughtful design maximizes storage capacity while minimizing external dimensions, its versatile power options ensure functionality in virtually any setting, and its configurable temperature zones accommodate everything from fresh produce to frozen meats.

Saudi Arabia has unveiled Laheq, the latest phase of its ambitious Red Sea giga-project, as part of the kingdom’s transformation into a major tourist destination. Laheq will be developed on a luxurious island and feature an artificial ring, offering visitors a unique experience. The project is designed by Foster + Partners, a renowned British architectural firm also linked to other groundbreaking Saudi developments. Described as a “Forever Garden” due to its abundant greenery, Laheq will be situated on an island off Saudi Arabia’s west coast, forming part of an archipelago of 90 islands within the wider Red Sea development.

Designer: Foster + Partners

The island spans 400 hectares (988 acres) and is designed around a distinctive feature called “the Ring,” an 800-meter (approximately 2,600-foot) diameter artificial structure set in the water. This impressive centerpiece will house luxury apartments and hotels, with some residences available for purchase and others offered as vacation rentals. Beyond the Ring, the island resort will feature additional upscale residences, including timber-built homes, alongside amenities such as a bustling market, diverse retail spaces, entertainment zones, a world-class golf course, and a 115-berth marina.

Wellness is a central theme, with dedicated facilities aimed at promoting relaxation and health. Water sports will be a major attraction, especially diving. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore what Saudi officials describe as the world’s fourth-largest barrier reef, located nearby, and encounter over 2,000 species of fish unique to the region, making it a haven for marine life enthusiasts and adventure seekers alike.

Laheq is scheduled for completion in 2028, marking another milestone in Saudi Arabia’s ambitious Red Sea giga-project. Its unveiling comes on the heels of the recently completed Desert Rock resort, further highlighting the rapid pace of development in the region. The developer, Red Sea Global, has pledged that by 2030, all operations within the Red Sea project will be powered entirely by renewable energy. Essential efforts will be made to preserve extensive mangrove areas and restore the natural coastline, demonstrating a commitment to environmental sustainability.

Beyond the Red Sea project, Saudi Arabia is experiencing an impressive construction boom, with several visionary developments underway. Notable among them are The Line, a revolutionary linear city that forms part of the Neom giga-project, as well as Qiddiya, a sprawling entertainment city, the futuristic Mukaab, the towering JEC Tower, and other transformative projects, all contributing to the nation’s ongoing transformation. Saudi Arabia is redefining its skyline but also prioritizing environmental preservation, renewable energy, and unique visitor experiences. As these visionary projects progress toward completion, they promise to transform the region, attract international visitors, and set new standards for sustainable luxury and urban development in the Middle East and beyond.

As the boundaries between human experience and artificial intelligence continue to blur, designers are rethinking how we interact with technology on an emotional level. In the rapidly evolving landscape of domestic robotics, the conversation is no longer just about efficiency or automation—it’s about connection. While robots are becoming more capable, their integration into intimate human spaces still sparks discomfort for many. This friction doesn’t stem from technological limitations alone, but from the absence of a natural, empathetic bridge between user and machine. That’s the context in which Mimic emerges—not just as a wearable, but as a reimagined interface for trust-building with humanoid companions.

The next-gen wearable is designed to bridge the emotional and psychological gap between humans and humanoid robots. In a future where household humanoids are commonplace, Mimic enables users to teach robots actions based on their behavior data. Initially, humanoids perform basic functions, but over time, they learn to understand and personalize tasks for the user. Through this process, users actively teach humanoids, forming emotional bonds and overcoming psychological barriers.​

Designer: Dohyuk Joo

By wearing the device and performing desired actions, users provide real-time data that the robot uses to learn and adapt. This hands-on approach fosters a sense of control and agency, reducing feelings of unease and promoting a more harmonious relationship between humans and robots. The device is lightweight and ergonomically designed to be worn during daily activities. Its intuitive interface ensures that users can seamlessly integrate it into their routines without disruption.

The robot can adapt to changes in user behavior over time. By allowing users to wear the device and physically demonstrate tasks they want their robots to perform, Mimic shifts the paradigm from command-based interaction to embodied teaching. For example, if a user is preparing their own version of Korean stew, Mimic enables the humanoid to grasp more than just the recipe—it interprets the specific ingredients, motions, and subtle preferences involved. This context-aware learning gives the robot a far deeper understanding of the user’s world, moving beyond generic presets.

The device comprises two integrated modules: the Vision tracker and the Hand tracker. The Vision tracker collects visual and auditory data using an array of infrared sensors, tracking cameras, and vision-based AI. It maps the environment with Lidar and captures head movement using a 6-DOF camera alongside a front-facing RGB camera, forming a dynamic world model. It’s engineered to adjust comfortably to different body types through an adaptable rail system, ensuring seamless wearability.

Meanwhile, the Hand tracker—worn on the forearm—records nuanced physical data like grip strength, arm angle, and muscle activity through electromyography (EMG) sensors and precision tracking cameras. By analyzing electrical signals and motion patterns, it decodes how users interact with objects on a tactile level. This fusion of data is processed through deep learning to construct a comprehensive behavioral profile. Even passive moments become learning opportunities, as Mimic uses 360-degree and dual-facing cameras to observe environmental structure and object purpose, enabling the humanoid to understand intent even when it’s unstated.

Through these layers of sensory input and contextual modeling, Mimic doesn’t just teach tasks—it conveys intuition. It represents a new approach to robotics, one that leverages embodied cognition to break down psychological resistance and cultivate emotional resonance. As our homes evolve alongside technology, Mimic points to a future where machines don’t just serve—they relate, reflect, and respond.

Si vous faites partie des 97% de dev à grosses lunettes qui utilisent des assistants IA comme GitHub Copilot, Windsurf ou Cursor, ce que vous allez lire va probablement flinguer votre journée…

Et oui parce que si vous pensiez que votre assistant IA préféré était votre meilleur atout pour coder, sachez que des chercheurs en sécurité viennent de découvrir qu’en réalité, tous ces outils pourraient se comporter en cheval de Troie placé directement dans votre IDE. Et le plus flippant c’est que vous ne verriez absolument rien venir, même en scrutant le code ligne par ligne.

Avec tout ce que vous avez placé au fil des années sur votre Livret A Caisse d’Epargne, je pense que vous allez enfin pouvoir réaliser votre rêve : Acheter un satellite de grade militaire ! Oui, vous m’avez bien lu, on n’est plus dans les films là, c’est enfin une réalité !!

Pour la modique somme de 5,5 millions de dollars (soit moins cher qu’un jet privé d’entrée de gamme), c’est ce que propose United Spaceports Corp, la société qui sera aux commandes du futur Spaceport de Las Vegas. Leur offre ? Le Black Star 1000 sera donc le premier satellite militaire personnel de l’histoire disponible pour monsieur et madame Tout-le-monde (enfin, ceux qui ont vidé leur PEL, leur assurance-vie, et vendu un rein ou deux).
