Elon Musk vs Apple in the AI Wars

Elon Musk just dragged Apple and OpenAI into court, claiming ChatGPT’s iPhone integration is an illegal moat. Meanwhile, Stanford data shows a brutal truth: Gen Z tech grads are getting locked out of jobs faster than anyone expected. And the irony? Professors telling students not to cheat with AI are quietly letting Claude grade their papers.

Add in Microsoft’s AI voices hosting entire podcasts, Google’s “Nano Banana” that keeps your face consistent across edits, and biotech breakthroughs literally reversing cell aging and you’ve got one of the wildest weeks in AI yet.
