  • New AI Directorate Could Rival Israel's Cyber Agency
    October 26, 2025, 8:18 AM EDT. Israel is launching a PMO-run AI directorate that could rival the country's cyber agency. Brig.-Gen. (ret.) Erez Askal will head the authority, raising questions about overlapping powers and potential jurisdiction clashes with the current cyber sector. The move comes as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with leading AI developers in the United States, signaling a push to accelerate government adoption of artificial intelligence. Officials emphasize coordination, but critics warn the governance framework may lack clear accountability and could fuel turf battles across ministries. The development tests how Israel balances innovation with security in a landscape of rapid AI advancement. Article published Oct 1, 2025; updated Oct 26, 2025.

  • DIY: Turning Wi-Fi traffic into dial-up audio with Raspberry Pi and a 2W speaker
    October 26, 2025, 8:08 AM EDT. A YouTube creator demonstrates a playful project that converts real network traffic into a loud, nostalgic dial-up-like sound. By using a Raspberry Pi (Model 3) with a secondary USB Wi-Fi adapter, the setup captures network traffic from a target computer and feeds it to an Adafruit QT Py microcontroller, which converts data to an analog signal via a DAC. The signal is amplified through a tiny 2-watt speaker to resemble the classic dial-up chorus. While the output includes random amplitude and frequency tweaks to resemble the era, the sound is still driven by actual data. This homage contrasts with today's fast, silent networks and the original modem handshakes.
  • AI Is Reshaping Industries: Growth, Investment, And Global Adoption
    October 26, 2025, 8:06 AM EDT. AI is reshaping industries and global competitiveness, with industrial AI and automation valued at at least $200 billion in 2024 and projected to reach $400 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of around 8%. Investment in core industrial AI solutions accounts for over a fifth of that total, while usage has surged-Schneider Electric notes a 78% rise since 2020 and a threefold increase in AI tool adoption by 2025. Generative and agentic AI are converging in platforms delivering real-time insights, systems resilience, and throughput efficiencies across major vendors like ABB, Emerson, Honeywell, Schneider Electric and Yokogawa. Governments are accelerating AI infrastructure-G7, OECD, China and India-alongside AI supercomputers such as Denmark's Gefion.
  • Is Broadcom Stock the Smartest Way to Invest in AI Infrastructure?
    October 26, 2025, 8:04 AM EDT. Broadcom's AI push centers on XPUs (custom AI accelerator chips) and data-center connectivity, aiming to offer a cheaper, more specialized alternative to Nvidia GPUs. While Nvidia remains the leader for flexible AI workloads, Broadcom benefits by partnering with AI hyperscalers to design chips tailored to specific tasks. Broadcom is a much larger, diversified tech company beyond AI-VMware, cybersecurity, and mainframe software bundle into its portfolio-but its AI division is the growth driver. The OpenAI deal signals early momentum, but adoption varies by customer and workload. Investors should view Broadcom as an AI infrastructure play: potential upside if hyperscaler demand sustains momentum, but Nvidia's broad flexibility keeps it the dominant force; execution and valuation risks remain.
