## Resource

OpenAI’s first hardware device is reportedly a screen-free AI speaker designed to learn users’ routines and become a more useful personal assistant over time — if it can avoid creeping people out and survive Apple’s trade secrets lawsuit. Plus, Hyundai workers in South Korea are staging an auto industry first by striking over planned humanoid robots, a fight that could preview labour battles coming to factories around the world. In The Big Picture: Northern Ontario wildfires force evacuations and send smoke into Toronto, the Bank of Canada holds its key rate steady, and Stripe makes a US$53 billion bid for PayPal. The Peak Daily is produced in partnership with reframevid.com
