October 13, 2025, 1:41 AM EDT. Meta is accelerating its bid to dominate AI by luring top talent with record packages. Andrew Tulloch, co-founder of Thinking Machines Lab and a key architect of Murati’s startup, is joining Meta, with reports of a potential $1.5 billion compensation plan over six years. The move follows Zuckerberg’s overtures, including a rejected outright acquisition and outreach to more than a dozen Thinking Machines engineers. Meta’s strategy—outspending rivals like OpenAI, Anthropic and Google, and snapping up startup talent and talent from OpenAI—highlights the industry’s shift from data and compute to people. After Llama 4’s muted debut, Meta has pursued Scale AI’s founder and expanded its internal teams through hires and partial acquisitions. Talent, not just data or compute, is now the most valuable asset in AI.

October 13, 2025, 1:40 AM EDT. Microsoft will end Windows 10 support on October 2025, leaving machines vulnerable without security updates. The official Extended Security Updates (ESU) program offers a paid extra year, but there’s a cheaper workaround: a free enroll option that relies on backing up your PC settings to Microsoft's cloud. To try it, update Windows 10 to the latest version, ensure you’re signed in as an administrator, then go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows 10 support ends in October 2025 > Enroll Now. Choose the free option: Back up your PC settings. Note this uses your Microsoft account and only includes the first 5GB of cloud storage; more storage requires a paid plan. This approach gives you another year of updates while you plan a switch to Windows 11 if possible.

October 13, 2025, 1:34 AM EDT. Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian argues that AI is an amplifier for human work, not a replacement for jobs. In a Big Technology interview, he noted that the AI-powered Customer Engagement Suite has largely avoided headcount cuts, taking on low-value queries—expanding productivity rather than shrinking staff. Google CEO Sundar Pichai has echoed this view, citing roughly a 10% productivity gain for engineers due to AI assistance and that more engineers will be hired. The share of AI-generated code at Google has climbed to over 30%, up from 25%. Microsoft’s GitHub Copilot now produces about 40% of code, enabling faster product launches. The takeaway: AI can boost output and innovation while complementing human workers.
