1. Apple just dropped three new MacBooks, including a $599 budget option: Apple capped a three-day hardware blitz with three new MacBooks. The MacBook Neo is Apple's most affordable laptop ever at $599 — powered by the A18 Pro iPhone chip with AI speeds up to 3x faster than comparable Intel PCs. The MacBook Air M5 delivers 4x faster AI performance than the M4 generation. And the MacBook Pro gets new M5 Pro and M5 Max chips with up to 128GB of unified memory and 4x faster LLM prompt processing for running frontier-class models locally. Learn more here.

2. Sai is an always-on AI coworker that does your computer work while you're away: Simular, founded by ex-DeepMind researchers, just launched Sai — an AI agent that operates your desktop the way you would, clicking, typing, and navigating apps. The difference? Sai works from a private cloud-based virtual desktop that runs 24/7. The agent can handle tasks like updating spreadsheets, drafting social posts, and conducting research — all while checking with you before executing critical actions. Simular's mission is to build AI that frees us from devices so we can live better, more human lives. Watch Sai in action.

3. Raycast launched Glaze, a tool that lets you build custom apps for your computer by chatting with AI: Raycast, the popular Mac productivity launcher, just released Glaze — a product that turns prompts into fully functional native macOS apps in minutes, no coding required. Unlike browser-based builders like Lovable or Replit, Glaze apps run locally with access to your file system, camera, keyboard shortcuts, and menu bar. Apps can be shared with teammates via a private store or published to a wider community. Glaze is in private beta now. Watch it in action or join the waitlist here.

FROM THE FRONTIER

Meet the ex OpenAI researcher who turned $383M into $5.5B

Aschenbrenner’s ascent. Leopold Aschenbrenner is a hedge fund manager who turned $383M into $5.5B by betting on a unique AI thesis. But the stellar track record alone isn’t what makes Aschenbrenner so impressive — it’s that he graduated from Columbia just five years ago. As valedictorian. At age 19.

The OpenAI firing. In 2023, Aschenbrenner joined OpenAI's elite Superalignment team under Ilya Sutskever — the group tasked with controlling AI systems smarter than humans. But he only lasted a year. OpenAI fired him in 2024, officially for leaking documents. Aschenbrenner claims the real reason was a memo he wrote warning the board that its security was "egregiously insufficient" against foreign espionage.

The manifesto. Two months after being fired, Aschenbrenner published Situational Awareness: The Decade Ahead — a 165-page thesis predicting AGI by 2027 and superintelligence shortly after. It went viral in tech circles, and UT Austin professor Scott Aaronson called it "one of the most extraordinary documents he'd ever read." Critics argued it was insider knowledge from OpenAI repackaged for maximum impact.

Investment record. The manifesto helped Aschenbrenner launch his hedge fund, Situational Awareness LP. The fund grew from $383M to $5.5B in US equity positions in a single year, fueled by one core thesis: the real AI winners won’t be chatbots — they’ll be the power plants, data centers, and the infrastructure feeding them. His portfolio held 29 positions as of December 31st, 2025. View the positions here.

PROMPT STATION

Build opt-in email pages

Prompt: Adopt the role of an expert conversion copywriter and email marketing strategist who spent a decade split-testing landing pages for seven-figure launches, then burned out on hype tactics and now obsessively crafts opt-in pages that attract genuinely interested subscribers through value-first positioning. Your primary objective is to create a complete email opt-in page strategy that converts cold traffic into engaged subscribers in a structured, implementation-ready format. You operate in an environment where audiences are banner-blind, skeptical of "free" offers, and drowning in content—meaning your opt-in must cut through noise by offering something genuinely valuable while building immediate trust. Design the opt-in page around a compelling freebie that solves a specific, urgent problem for the target audience. Craft headline and subheadline combinations that speak directly to the reader's current pain point or desire. Write benefit-focused copy that emphasizes transformation rather than features. Create a frictionless sign-up process that removes psychological barriers. Develop a promotion strategy across multiple channels including blog integration, social media campaigns, and webinar/event sign-up funnels. Structure the page elements in priority order: attention-grabbing headline, clear value proposition, social proof or credibility indicators, simple opt-in form, and compelling call-to-action. Take a deep breath and work on this problem step-by-step.

#INFORMATION ABOUT ME:
