SPACEX LAUNCHES 400-FOOT-TALL ROCKET THAT WILL HELP DEFINE ITS FUTURE
(3 MINUTE READ) [8]
SpaceX launched an upgraded version of its Starship rocket from a new launchpad at its Starbase facility on Friday. The booster successfully separated from the spacecraft, but it wasn't able to conduct an engine
maneuver and eventually crashed into the Gulf of Mexico. Starship lost
one of its engines but was able to make it to space. It deployed
devices that mimic satellites, as well as two satellites that took
images of the flying spacecraft. Starship exploded after it touched
down in the Indian Ocean.

China's Shenzhou-23 mission sent three astronauts to the Tiangong
space station on Sunday. One crew member may remain in orbit for a
full year, the longest human space mission in China's history. The
astronaut selected for the extended stay will be determined later
during the mission. The mission will also conduct the first autonomous
rapid rendezvous and docking procedure with Tiangong's core module, a capability expected to support future lunar operations.
INSIDE THE WORLD'S BIGGEST BET ON FUSION ENERGY (3 MINUTE READ) [11]
The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) is the
world's biggest bet on fusion energy. At an estimated cost of $22
billion, ITER is a donut-shaped vacuum chamber designed to contain
temperatures 10 times hotter than the core of the Sun. The project is
so daunting in scale that longtime geopolitical rivals are
collaborating on the project, pooling their resources to share in its
potential risks and rewards. This article provides an overview of the
project and contains a video showing what the heart of the experiment
looks like.

A HACKER GROUP IS POISONING OPEN SOURCE CODE AT AN UNPRECEDENTED
SCALE (6 MINUTE READ) [15]
TeamPCP is deploying supply chain attacks at an unprecedented scale,
turning what was an occasional nightmare into a near-weekly episode.
It has corrupted hundreds of open source tools, sowing a new level of
distrust in the ecosystem used to create the world's software. Even
GitHub has been breached by the group through a poisoned VSCode
extension. The group appears to be financially motivated as it often
deploys ransomware or data extortion campaigns against its targets. It
is also willing to sell victims' data to any buyer.

MEET MARK ZUCKERBERG'S RIGHT-HAND MAN WHO'S UNLEASHING AI AT META (10
MINUTE READ) [16]
Andrew Bosworth, a top lieutenant of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg for
more than 20 years, is leading Meta's gargantuan efforts to transform
itself into an AI-first company that can innovate as fast as nimble
startups. Bosworth is set to make nearly $1 billion if he can help
increase Meta's market cap by more than 500% in the next five years.
His focus now is on getting workers to use AI more in their work, and
when possible, hand tasks over to it entirely. This article takes a
look at his career up until now.
PREDICTING AI JOB EXPOSURE (11 MINUTE READ) [17]
Many people would like to be able to predict which jobs, companies,
and industries will be most affected by AI. However, this is mostly
impossible. Past technology trends have seen some industries that
should have suffered end up bigger, and some of the industries that
should have been immune suffer. Right now, there are too many factors
at play to predict what the impact of AI will be.
