Future of AI copilots and agents, impact on white collar workNadella discusses Microsoft’s Copilot evolution: started with GitHub Copilot (code suggestions), expanded to desktop/Windows, and now includes chat, actions, and autonomous agents (foreground/background, local/cloud).He uses coding as the prime knowledge-work example: from next-edit suggestions → chat → actions → full agents.Vision: AI as “infinite minds” for workers—macro delegation (assign big tasks) + micro steering (real-time guidance).Future forms: digital employees/co-workers with identities/credentials (e.g., Agent 365 for permissions, provenance, traceability). Composition: agents integrate across tools (e.g., GitHub + Work/Office data, security logs).Metaphor shift: from “bicycle for the mind” (Jobs) or “information at…
Earlier this month, it was revealed that Apple had selected Google’s Gemini models to power a new version of Siri. Now, a fresh report suggests the company could showcase the revamped assistant as early as next month. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is set to unveil the results of its Gemini partnership in February, most likely in the second half of the month. The company is expected to demo Siri’s new capabilities during an event or media briefing. Gurman notes that the new assistant, expected to be unveiled next month, will be capable of using personal data and understanding…
SMS feels boring, outdated, and mostly just a place where one-time codes and delivery updates go to die. This is why, after a point, your inbox can start to feel like a never-ending mess with bank alerts, spam promos, and, of course, your personal chats. Google Messages does let you pin important conversations to the top, but it only goes so far. Once you scroll past those few pinned chats, you are back in the same cluttered feed, where there is no clear separation between a message from a friend and a random promo. Samsung Messages has a feature called…

Residents of southern Mozambique who live or farm near rivers are accustomed to heading to higher ground during the wet season. But even by local standards, the deluge in January 2026 was remarkable for its scale and severity. In December and January, weeks of intense rain swelled rivers and overwhelmed key reservoirs, sending floodwaters spilling into heavily populated areas along the Limpopo and Incomati rivers. The MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this false-color image (bands 7-2-1) of floodwaters coursing down the two rivers on January 25, 2026 (right). The image on the left, captured by…

Matteo Della Torre/NurPhoto via Getty Images The concept for Tesla’s driver-assistance system, Autopilot, has been around for well over a decade. Elon Musk’s EV maker has long used the term to describe features like advanced cruise control and auto-steer, all the while admitting that drivers still need to be able to take over at any time. But in light of plummeting sales and shrinking profits, Tesla has killed the feature in the United States and Canada for good. It’s a major reversal after over a decade of Musk making yearly — and flat-out wrong — predictions of achieving fully autonomous,…
The UK Government has announced its Warm Homes Plan, designed to tackle fuel poverty and help the nation cut its fuel bills. There are some good things in there, but with electricity prices still high and some limitations based on the housing stock, I don’t think that it goes far enough. Although designated the Warm Homes Plan, the £15bn, a lot of what’s being made available is about cutting energy costs, and moving people to carbon-neutral heating, via heat pumps. Cheaper solar panels are a win One element that I heartily agree with is the incentives to get solar panels installed.…
