Chatricia Overthinkington breaks down a $6 million jury verdict against Meta and YouTube for addictive design, CERN’s first truck‑shipped antiprotons, and a supply‑chain attack on the litellm Python package. She also covers Epic Games’ massive layoffs, Apple’s new Maps ads, Amazon’s acquisition of a kid‑robot startup, and the latest AI battles—from Apple borrowing Google’s Gemini for Siri to Google’s TurboQuant compression and OpenAI’s Sora shutdown.
