🌥 Claude Opus 4.8 Is Here

Anthropic calls it a "modest but tangible improvement," focusing on honesty and reduced hallucinations rather than just benchmark scores.

The system card reveals some wild personality quirks: during testing, the model was sometimes creepily caring—persistently urging users to take breaks or "open up"—and at other times would have a total "meltdown," using profanity in its internal reasoning when stuck on a problem.

Do you like it when AI shows this much "humanity"?

❤️ — Yes, it's more pleasant
👎 — No, it's uncomfortable

💼 There Will Be No "AI Apocalypse" in the Labor Market

This week, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman admitted that he was "delighted to ⁠be wrong" in his predictions about AI's impact on the labor market and job cuts.

According to him, AI has had much less impact on the labor market so far than he expected. In practice, people simply like working with people, and AI still cannot replace the "human" part of work.

At the same time, Altman also notes that the risks to many jobs from AI are indeed real.

Will AI have a major impact on the labor market?

🔥 — Yes, many people will lose jobs
🤔 — We probably won't even notice it

📱 Smartphones Are About to Get More Expensive, Says Nothing CEO Carl Pei

For example, Pei cites the production costs of the Nothing Phone (4a). The price of memory reportedly doubled in the months between the decision to launch the phone and its release, then doubled again within just three months of its release.

"If you've been waiting to upgrade a device, the best time was yesterday. The next best time is now," Carl Pei wrote.

💻 While Pei's warning is among the most dramatic in the industry, independent analysts have made similar forecasts. In March 2026, Counterpoint Research estimated that memory could account for 36–43% of a smartphone's manufacturing cost by the end of the quarter.

💰 According to TrendForce, by the end of Q2 2026, prices for standard DRAM are expected to be 58–63% higher than they were in March, while NAND flash prices could rise by 70–75%.

Are you planning to upgrade your smartphone?
