Following reports that Meta had hired away prominent researchers from OpenAI — in some cases offering $100 million — the company is now saying it will review compensation.

According to Wired, OpenAI’s management reportedly told employees they will not stand by and watch this happen. In a Slack message to staff, OpenAI’s chief scientist, Mark Chen, reportedly wrote: “I feel a strong, instinctive feeling right now, as if someone has broken into our home and stolen something”.

Chen said he, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and others in the company’s leadership are working “around the clock to talk to those who have received offers,” as well as “adjusting compensation and exploring creative ways to recognize and reward top talent.”

Ten years ago, Apple introduced the MacBook, a lower-end, more affordable 12-in. Mac the company called “the notebook redefined.”

At only 0.5 inches thick at its thickest point, the compact computer was the thinnest Mac ever at the time, and while the chip was relatively low-powered, it was a popular device until it was discontinued in 2018. Apple may be preparing to introduce something similar.

Ming-Chi Kuo, the widely-cited Apple analyst who seemingly secretively occupies an adjacent pocket to Mark Gurman somewhere in Apple’s boardroom, tells us Apple wants to introduce a new and lower-priced entry-level laptop, probably next year. In order to reach this low price, Apple will allegedly put its A18 Pro iPhone processor inside the Mac.

Doing so is not quite the trade off in performance you might imagine, as 9to5Mac points out the A18 Pro chip’s performance puts it at least on par with an M1 Mac mini, millions of which continue to be used quite happily today. (I use one.)

Compromise or opportunity?

What this means is that in exchange for using a processor that is produced in huge quantities (and therefore likely a little cheaper), Apple gets to offer up an entry-level Mac with enough performance for basic tasks at a low price and likely in a very, very thin chassis due to the low energy of the processor.

This all sounds grand so far, especially budget-holders and particularly those in the education sector who will be seeking an economical route to deploy thousands of Macs. If the speculation is correct, it also underlines two critical realities: Apple Silicon is enabling hardware designs Apple could not have introduced before, and it is becoming increasingly possible to run macOS on an A-series chip — assuming the speculated system is a Mac at all.

Could Kuo have caught half a rumor that leads toward a new hybrid device?

Only time, and probably Mark Gurman, can tell.

A little history

Apple replaced the popular iBook range with the first MacBook in 2006 during the Mac transition to Intel processors and continued to sell these systems into 2011 to make way for MacBook Air. Four years later, in 2015, the company returned with a new MacBook model — the “thinnest and lightest Mac ever.” It was once again updated in 2017 before being discontinued in 2019.

What these Macs did well is likely what Apple envisions for the speculated upon new model. Think web browsing, casual Mac use, access to web services, writing, reading, Apple Music and iCloud. It also likely means Apple Intelligence, access to cloud-based AI and almost certainly movies, light image editing, and so forth.

It won’t be the Mac you use for anything more sophisticated, but for a lot of people it is likely to be all the Mac they need. Thin, light and underpowered in contrast to MacBook Pro, it’s a model that could prove popular, particularly as the A-series chip means battery life should at least compete with other Macs. 

Building the business

Will Apple be cannibalizing its existing notebook markets with a system of this kind?

Perhaps, but perhaps not: You see, while it might lose some entry-level MacBook Air customers to the new product, most professional and aspirational customers will continue to get the best Mac they can afford.

These systems might also compensate for any diverted sales by boosting orders in large-scale markets, such as education, even as the prospect of a lower-cost Apple notebook could help the company secure gains in the all-important emerging markets; that’s where future economic prosperity might emerge as established economies collapse from their own internal moral/economic/political contradictions.

Any gains generated by these new Macs matter quite a lot, especially when seen through the lens of recent Canalys data showing Apple is now the second-biggest notebook maker in the US. (Apple has 18% of that market to HP’s 24%, with Lenovo and Dell sharing third position with 17% and others far behind. Apple is also the fourth largest desktop PC maker in the US, though by wider margins.)

That almost one in five notebooks sold in America comes from Apple shows the tremendous momentum the company once left for dead has built since the beginning of this century. Macs right now are powering a PC market recovery. A move to make some of its products more affordable (while also remaining satisfyingly profitable) can only consolidate these gains and set the scene for a much deeper push at the mid-range PC market. It’s amusing to think this push will in part be driven by an iPhone chip, a processor which with its own existence shows Apple’s growing industry leadership in processor design.

Finally, while it is unsatisfactory to end an article with a question, it is hard to avoid wondering whether Apple will finally put its own 5G modems inside these Macs? Use of an iPhone chip in a low power system does, after all, suggest it could.

The fireworks that could soon go off across the US have nothing to do with July 4 celebrations, but are reaction to a double hit that every state in the union may soon face relating to a potential reduction of connectivity capabilities and a proposed 10-year ban on its ability to regulate AI.

Drastic legislative changes around both issues are contained in the Trump administration’s Reconciliation Tax Bill, which is now before the Senate.

In early June, 260 state lawmakers from both parties in all 50 states sent a letter to Congress voicing strong opposition to the AI regulation ban. The letter, which was spearheaded by Americans for Responsible Innovation (ARI), a nonprofit policy advocacy organization, stated, “the proposed 10-year freeze of state and local regulation of AI and automated decision systems would cut short democratic discussion of AI policy in the states with a sweeping moratorium that threatens to halt a broad array of laws and restrict policymakers from responding to emerging issues.”

ARI president Brad Carson said, “lawmakers from every state in the country are sending a clear message that the proposed ban on state AI laws would freeze a whole range of common-sense laws that voters depend on.”

There is, he said, “room for a debate on pre-emption of a targeted set of state AI laws with the passage of a federal framework for AI governance. But this proposal fails on all counts, with an overbroad scope and nothing to offer when it comes to federal governance.”

Moratorium would be ‘a historic mistake’

On Thursday, lawmakers from Utah, South Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Montana held a press conference organized by the ARI to ask Congress to remove the moratorium. There has also been a major new twist since Trump’s so-called One Big Beautiful Bill moved to the Senate for final approval, in that Senator Ted Cruz, chair of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, inserted a clause that would preclude any state receiving funding under the Broadband, Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) program if they refused to introduce an AI law moratorium.

Satya Thallam, senior advisor with ARI, said in a release following the press conference, “state lawmakers are sending a clear message to Congress: the moratorium threatens a range of state laws, from kids’ online safety to pro-innovation measures, and it needs to be struck from the bill.”

He added, “preventing lawmakers back home from doing the hard work of legislating on AI issues for the next decade would be a historic mistake. Congress shouldn’t be working in opposition to state lawmakers, but hand-in-hand with state legislators to get AI policy right.”

Amba Kak, co-executive director of AI Now Institute, said Thursday in an email to Computerworld, “simply put, this ban on state AI law would leave American consumers and workers with even less protections than we have today against some of the worst forms of AI-related abuse and exploitation. The moratorium rolls back the clock on the protections that are in place, and prevents new rules from coming into place. Essentially [it’s] forcing state lawmakers to turn a deaf ear to their constituents.”

‘AI being used on us, not just by us’

Who might be most at risk? “It’s all of us, any of us, that will be at the receiving end of AI mediating our life and work, whether we choose to opt in or not,” she said. “AI is routinely being used on us, not just by us. But it is most unconscionable to unleash these risks on those least well positioned to fend for ourselves — children, seniors more susceptible to AI scams and manipulation, low income people subject to faulty and error ridden AI-mediated social services systems, and those working jobs that are being aggressively devalued or replaced.” 

Kak added, “I’d also flip that question to say: who has most to gain here? Big Tech: The same industry that, by increasingly bipartisan consensus, has gotten too big for its boots. And have proven themselves to be reckless custodians of this power. This moratorium drives that impunity further, in ways that send a truly dangerous message to the Big Tech AI firms: they’re in charge, no questions asked.”

On Wednesday, Cruz issued a release which said that he had published updated text for the Commerce Committee’s portion of the budget reconciliation bill.

A backgrounder accompanying the release states that the update involves the appropriation of  “$500 million to the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to support deployment of AI models or systems and underlying infrastructure. The proposal uses the administrative structure of the Broadband, Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program to streamline allocation of new funding.”

It goes on to say that, in order to receive “a portion of this new $500 million federal investment to deploy AI,” states must agree to several conditions, one of which is the temporary pause of “any enforcement of any state restrictions, as specified, related to AI models, AI systems, or automated decision systems for 10 years.”

US Senator Maria Cantwell, a Democrat and Ranking Member of the committee, reacted by saying, “the newly released language by Chair Cruz continues to hold $42 billion in BEAD funding hostage, forcing states to choose between protecting consumers and expanding critical broadband infrastructure to rural communities.”

Cementing the digital divide

Drew Garner, director of policy engagement at Benton Institute for Broadband & Society, a nonprofit organization whose focus is ensuring all people in the US have access to competitive, high-performance broadband, sided with Cantwell, saying, “[it] sounds insane even not tied to BEAD, but tied to BEAD is doubly insane.”

The Trump administration and Cruz, he said, are “treating [BEAD] like a piñata right now and it’s crazy. It is an awful time to be in a state broadband office.”

This new threat worsens an already bad situation. In March, US Department of Commerce secretary Howard Lutnick announced that he had launched a “rigorous review of the BEAD program. The Department is ripping out the Biden administration’s pointless requirements. It is revamping the BEAD program to take a tech-neutral approach that is rigorously driven by outcomes, so states can provide internet access for the lowest cost.”

And following the release of revised rules earlier this month, Garner wrote, “[Lutnick’s] actions will cement the digital divide for decades. He is hurting our economic competitiveness, our healthcare and education … Secretary Lutnick wants to invest in the ‘cheapest’ broadband infrastructure, not the best infrastructure. It’s a self-inflicted wound to American competitiveness.”

OpenAI’s planned productivity suite could dismantle traditional habits of how users create and consume documents in the same the way the company changed browsing and search habits.

“OpenAI is increasingly seeing itself as a productivity tool, and that would include the need to address actual creation tools like Office does,” said Jack Gold, principal analyst at J. Gold Associates.

OpenAI hasn’t officially announced a product, but The Information reported (subscription required) that the generative AI (genAI) company has already designed a rival to the dominant productivity tools.

But good luck getting customers to move from Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, analysts said, noting that the top two productivity suites are well entrenched among users and organizations.

OpenAI is already including certain elements of a productivity suite in its offerings, such as multiple export format support, said Wayne Kurtzman, research vice president of collaboration and communities at IDC. The feature is available in ChatGPT features such as Canvas, which “is a new interface for working with ChatGPT on writing and coding projects that require editing and revisions,” according to OpenAI’s website.

“That can be construed, correctly or not, as starting to build a productivity suite,” Kurtzman said.

IDC sees the market favoring newer digital experiences in creating and consuming content, he said. “Whether OpenAI sees this as an opportunity they would like to pursue in new ways is yet to be seen,” Kurtzman said.

The future of productivity and collaboration suites lies in user interface simplification via genAI, said J.P. Gownder, vice president and principal analyst on Forrester’s Future of Work team. He described it as “a lot less pulling down menus or drawing and a lot more prompt engineering and providing sources to the AI so it can compose the asset.”

Document creation could look something like this: GenAI would take a first swing at creating a business document that the user then edits, iterates, and finalizes. That approach will become much more common.

Users will go “over the top,” asking Microsoft’s Copilot to create PowerPoint presentations, specifying the documents such as meeting notes or oral instructions that it should use to create the deck.

“I predict that, by 2029, Microsoft PowerPoint will hide or remove 80% of the elements on the Ribbon, the set of navigation controllers. Why? Because you won’t need them anymore; you will go ‘over the top,’” Gownder said.

OpenAI trying to innovate in this area makes sense; companies like Zoom and beautiful.ai already do this, though not to the level of sophistication users will see in the future with Microsoft’s suite, Gownder said. “…Entering this space, for OpenAI, is a lot riskier, because of its partial ownership by Microsoft and because Copilot uses OpenAI’s models,” he said.

Microsoft is already heading in the direction of making Copilot its main interface to create documents, spreadsheets and presentations, the company’s chief product officer of experiences and devices, Aparna Chennapragada, told Computerworld in a recent interview.

Google has already integrated genAI capabilities into Workspace, but hasn’t managed to capture much market share from Microsoft, Gold said. “But like so many other companies have found when they try to compete with Office, it’s very hard to have much impact,” he said.

Gold floated the idea of OpenAI possibly leveraging open-source tools such as OpenOffice or LibreOffice, which could help from a time-to-market and cost perspective. “Let the open ecosystem provide the necessary capabilities, which already results in a pretty rich productivity suite, and just have OpenAI do the integration of AI tools,” he said.

There remain a lot of open questions about OpenAI’s ability to deliver a productivity suite, which isn’t easy, said Jeff Kagan, an independent analyst.

OpenAI needs the talent, product groups, and market share to carve out a sizable niche, Kagan said. “I don’t expect Microsoft to sit back. I expect they will quickly intensify their offerings to hang onto their market share,” he said.

Also, if OpenAI CEO Sam Altman decides to implement competing features, he will need to think hard about the relationship with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.

“It’s still way too early to have any idea what the next step will be. Stay tuned,” Kagan said.

A frisson of Trump-related news fizzled out in the last week. No, not a temporary outbreak of peace in the Middle East, but news of a smartphone originally announced as being made in America. Except, since making that claim, the Trump organization has changed to somewhat more ambiguous claims.

Which raises the question, why can’t you make a mass market phone in the US?

To get into this, it’s important to think about what is required when making a phone.

First, you need a design; secondly, you need components; third, you need an operating system; fourth, you require highly skilled labor to build the devices; and finally, you need a factory and distribution network big enough to handle manufacturing, logistics, and supply. Assembling the logistics of smartphone supply takes a lot of time and a lot of money. Pulling all these pieces together is a lot more complex than making a pencil — and that’s complicated enough, as the classic text by Leonard E. Read explains. 

To be honest, it’s complicated

That’s not to say it’s completely impossible. There is one device — Purism’s Liberty smartphone — that claims to be made in the US. The hangup is that the device costs $2,000, has limited specifications, and can only be produced in small quantities. It’s not completely made in the USA, either, since many of its components are made outside the US. 

That’s unlikely to change without major investment in component manufacturing plants, the cost of which could be prohibitive when you look at the fast pace with which those components might need to be upgraded or replaced as technology advances.

This is even before you consider the risk of entering markets already populated by incumbents and the low margins shared by those already-established manufacturers. It means that the entities most likely to bring component manufacturing in the US are probably going to be the same people who already make those components. And as they have the economy of scale behind them, it’s going to be next to impossible for US firms to compete. 

That makes that part of the supply chain a huge risk, which means it makes a lot more sense for US manufacturers and the US government to think about what components mobile devices will need in the future and begin to invest in the patents, raw materials, and manufacturing capabilities to make those things. But that’s going to take time, require long-term investment, and has its own set of risks — as everyone who invested in Betamax found out when VHS won the video format wars.

To some extent, this inherent risk is part of what US firms have outsourced internationally in the past, because lower-cost economies meant that the cost of building factories for components that never shipped was lower, which also reduced the risk. The US got the benefit of other people’s risk and didn’t pay the consequences when risks went wrong.

Mysterious materials

Of course, components are made of something, and that raises the other reason it’s pretty difficult to make a smartphone entirely in the US: raw materials. So many of the raw materials used in various components packed inside smartphones are incredibly rare and found only in specific geographies. 

This alone makes it inevitable that at least some raw material will need to be imported. But the cost of the materials and the cost of importing them sometimes makes it cheaper to manufacture components closer to the raw material source of supply. After all, if you use one ton of rare materials to manufacture 10 pounds of considerably more valuable components then it makes sense (because it is cheaper) to ship the component, not the material.

So now we have an inevitability in which at least some key smartphone components are unlikely ever to be made in the US. Perhaps those technologies can be replaced down the road, but that is limited by the laws of physics — which is to say it isn’t guaranteed. And to develop new things, you also need access to trained staff.

The alternative is to make smartphones that use components harvested from recycled devices, though doing so immediately means the devices might be dated, not as powerful, and potentially exposed to component-based security risks.

Magical people

Scientists, engineers, researchers, electronics experts, metallurgists, all of these skills are essential to the smartphone value chain. America just doesn’t have enough trained people to occupy all these roles. Sure, it’s possible you could replace some of the lower value skills with robots (made where?), but meeting that skill shortage is going to take a big commitment to education and training, or a focused approach to immigration, or both. And it will take years. 

That’s going to cost, and because there is presently a shortage of these skills, you’ll find that salaries will be far higher in the US than elsewhere. The cost increases the magnitude of risk for manufacturers/suppliers, meaning they will raise prices for the components or assembly services they provide. I’m not sure, but I imagine that these costs, including assembly costs, are why the Liberty phone costs $2,000.

Magical places

Once you have raw materials and components logistics sorted, and you’ve hired enough good staff to make the devices, you’re hit the next problem — location. Where will you put the factories? If you choose to centralize production in a low-cost, perhaps less-popular part of the US, you might have difficulty recruiting staff who won’t want to abandon their existing lives to move. That means for a serious manufacturing deployment you’ll put your factories in places where people with the skills you need might actually want to live.

This further increases costs, but also means access to factory space becomes another competitive challenge. It’s one you can solve with money, of course, but that’s yet another level of risk and investment that needs to be met in order to make phones in the good old US of A.

Then, once you’ve got the materials, components, people, and factories — you need to bring it all together. Even assuming it has become possible through some triumph of magical thinking to make most of the components in the US, it is unlikely all these parts will be made in the same place, or even the same state. 

Being where?

That means you’ll need to spend time putting together an effective and affordable logistics system for just-in-time delivery of components sourced from wherever they come from to the central assembly location. There are problems to this, but the impact once those are resolved is likely to be more traffic on local roads, more housing demands in local communities, and more demand for water, energy, and other infrastructure. 

What this usually means is that local property prices increase, usually at a rate that exceeds local wages. In most other places, what happens then is that people born and brought up in those areas can no longer afford to continue to live there and are priced out of the property market, increasing resentment, frustration, and poverty.

All of these changes damage local cohesion, even as local authorities need to somehow find the money to invest in roads, airports and all the other infrastructure the new people and factories are suddenly making much more excessive use of.

Think of the scale here.

iPhone factories in China and India employ tens of thousands of people — whole cities are dedicated to the task. And while it is somehow a little tempting to imagine the creation of an “iPhone City” somewhere in America, achieving that already looks a lot harder than first thought. 

The future will be better tomorrow

Fundamentally, what I’m saying is that shifting manufacturing ecosystems is a vastly complex task that demands huge investments of time and money — and even if the will is there, (and the US did actually vote for this), it makes more sense to invest gradually than to expect change overnight. Those investments have not yet been made, which is why the iPhone, Trump phone, or any other phone, is really not likely to be made in mass market quantities in the US before 2030 at the earliest, and probably not until later than that, if at all.

Will we even need smartphones by then? Who knows?

Think about the complexity of the above and it’s hard not to think that it makes more sense to focus investment on the big technologies the world will need tomorrow, rather than reinventing supply chains for the things we already have today. Because future tech innovation is where the money — and the jobs — will be.

When MS-DOS 5.0 was released in 1991, one of the big innovations was the MS-DOS Editor, a classic text editor that quickly became popular with users. Now, Microsoft has developed a new version of MS-DOS Editor called Edit, according to Ars Technica.

Compared to the original, Edit offers a number of improvements, including support for Unicode. In addition, the 300-kilobyte limit has been removed, meaning users can work with gigabyte-sized files if they want.

Edit was written in the Rust programming language and is based on open-source code. And it doesn’t require Windows to run; the text editor works just as well on macOS or Linux.
