Greece has reportedly passed a new law restricting social media access for children under 15, with the ban set to take effect on January 1, 2027. The move aims to address growing concerns about excessive screen time, online safety, and the impact of social media on children's mental health. As countries tighten digital regulations, a bigger question emerges: Should social media platforms have a minimum age requirement? #Greece #SocialMediaBan #TechNews #DigitalSafety

Chennai is getting a major AI infrastructure upgrade. 🇮🇳 Cloud infrastructure company Vultr has announced plans for a 20 MW AI supercluster powered by AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs. The facility is designed to help Indian startups, researchers and enterprises train, fine-tune and run AI models using computing infrastructure located within India. According to Vultr, it will be the country's largest AMD Instinct deployment. As AI models grow more demanding, access to computing power is becoming just as important as the models themselves. #ArtificialIntelligence #AMD #Vultr #AIInfrastructure #IndiaTech

AI could soon be helping your neighbourhood shopkeeper run their business. has committed $15 million to The/Nudge to develop AI-powered solutions for India's small businesses. The initiative aims to tackle some of the biggest challenges MSMEs face, from accessing formal credit and finding new markets to navigating compliance requirements. It will also support multilingual, voice-led training to help people in smaller towns develop job-ready skills. With over 90 million small businesses employing more than 345 million people in India, the potential impact is significant. AI isn't just about building smarter technology. It's also about making everyday business a little easier. #GoogleAI #ArtificialIntelligence #MSME #India #SmallBusiness #Crowdfire

Crypto wallets could soon be built into everyday apps. #Ripple has partnered with Stripe-owned #Privy to bring embedded wallets to the XRP Ledger, simplifying payments with XRP and RLUSD. The integration could also enable AI agents to make automated payments. Making crypto easier to use, one integration at a time.

For years, using AI meant typing a question and getting an answer. But what if you could actually interact with that answer? With GPT-6, OpenAI is moving #ChatGPT towards a more visual experience, where responses can include interactive elements that users can explore and adjust. Less scrolling through paragraphs. More interacting with information. The interesting part? AI interfaces may be changing just as quickly as the models behind them.

#Ethereum wants to scale. But simply making everything bigger isn’t quite the answer. That’s where Glamsterdam comes in. The upcoming Ethereum upgrade is laying the groundwork for more Layer 1 capacity, more efficient transaction processing, and a network that can handle more activity without becoming unnecessarily heavier to run. In other words: more room for Ethereum, without simply asking the network to carry more weight.

AI is heading somewhere new: orbit. 🛰️ Google’s Project Suncatcher prototype satellite has successfully launched into space, where researchers will test how its AI chips handle radiation, extreme temperatures and the physical stress of spaceflight. The bigger idea is even more interesting. Project Suncatcher is exploring whether space could one day host scalable AI computing infrastructure. It’s still a long-term research project, not a space-based data centre just yet. But with the first prototype now in orbit, Google has started testing the idea where it matters most: space. Would you run AI from orbit? 🌍

In simple terms: more computing power, more efficient verification, and security designed for what comes next.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Uniswap (UNI) futures are set to launch on October 19, pending regulatory review. Both will come in standard and Micro-sized contracts, giving market participants more ways to manage exposure to the two assets through CME’s regulated derivatives market. Another sign of just how much the crypto derivatives menu is expanding. 📈

Zcash just crossed a level it hasn’t seen in nearly a decade. #ZEC has climbed past $1,500, returning to price territory last seen around its 2016 launch era. The move puts one of crypto’s oldest privacy-focused coins back in the spotlight, and adds to the renewed attention around the privacy-coin sector. Nearly 10 years later, Zcash is having a moment again.

Circle just took Arc live, and some of the biggest names in finance are already part of the network. BlackRock, Visa, Mastercard, DTCC and Standard Chartered are among Arc’s founding validators. Built by Circle, the Layer-1 blockchain uses USDC for gas fees and is designed for sub-second transaction settlement. The interesting part isn’t just another blockchain going live. It’s who’s helping validate it. Traditional finance isn’t just watching blockchain infrastructure evolve anymore. Some of its biggest players are becoming part of it. #circle #blockchain

Jensen Huang was on stage at the All-In conference when his phone rang. On the other end? President Donald Trump. The surprise call quickly turned into a conversation about AI and whether growing concerns around the technology should slow its development. Trump argued that AI is simply too important to hold back, calling it “bigger than the internet,” while Huang told him that thousands in the audience were applauding. #AI #JensenHuang #Nvidia #ArtificialIntelligence #TechNews

Everyone’s looking at the fold. We’re looking at what’s underneath it. 👀 Apple’s first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, brings a 7.6-inch display when opened, but the bigger shift could be happening inside. The A20 Pro is built for faster on-device AI, while iOS 27 adapts the experience as the phone changes form. Add a more deeply integrated Siri and AI-powered camera features, and this starts looking like more than Apple simply catching up with foldables. Apple may be late to the folding-phone party. But it’s arriving with hardware, software and AI designed to work together from day one. While the fold gets the headlines. The intelligence behind it might be the more interesting part. #Apple #iPhoneDuo #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Tech

#AI could give us one more day before a cyclone hits. Google’s WeatherNext can produce three-day hurricane and typhoon forecasts with accuracy comparable to conventional two-day predictions. For weather forecasting, that extra day could matter enormously.

Four months. Nearly double the valuation. Cognition, the company behind AI coding assistant Devin, has raised $2 billion at a $48 billion valuation up from roughly $26 billion at its previous fundraise in May. And the growth story is just as striking: Cognition says its annualized run-rate revenue climbed from $492 million to $900 million over the same period. The bigger signal? Investors clearly aren't treating AI coding as a winner-takes-all market yet. With billions flowing into competing coding assistants, the race to become the default AI layer for software development is getting a lot more interesting. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Startups #Tech #Coding #Devin

With OpenAI’s DevDay coming up on September 29, the spotlight is shifting from AI that can answer questions to AI that can actually build, code, automate and get things done. And that raises a bigger question: Are we entering the era of AI products built by developers, rather than AI products built by AI companies? We’re about to find out. What would you build if AI could handle the heavy lifting? 👇

What if curiosity could make crores? 👀 A mysterious Instagram account, callled 25.august.2026, spent weeks building hype around one date: 25 August 2026. Cryptic videos. Hidden faces. A countdown. And reportedly, 4 lakh+ followers waiting for a “world-changing” reveal. Then came the catch. Followers were redirected to Telegram, where they reportedly had to pay 250 Telegram Stars, roughly ₹500, to unlock the mystery. And the big reveal? An AI-generated motivational video telling people not to waste their time and money on social media. 😭 The irony writes itself. Viral claims suggest anywhere from ₹5 crore to ₹8.5 crore may have been collected, while even larger estimates have circulated online. However, the actual number of paying users and total amount collected remain unverified. Scam or an insanely effective marketing stunt? Would you have paid ₹500 to see the reveal? 👇

Crypto on traditional finance platforms is expanding beyond BTC and ETH. Charles Schwab plans to add SOL, AVAX and LINK to its crypto platform, potentially putting these assets within easier reach of millions of mainstream investors. SOL jumped ~7% following the news and a broader crypto market recovery.

A little colour, a little joy, and a whole lot to celebrate. 🌼 Wishing everyone a bright and beautiful Onam! ✨
