Tech’s day is defined by ambition, and by who gets to benefit from it. SpaceX, fresh off its record-shattering IPO, is reportedly spending that momentum on a $60 billion all-stock acquisition of AI coding startup Cursor, a move that would deepen its push into developer tools and artificial intelligence. Snap, meanwhile, is finally bringing consumer AR glasses to market, betting $2,195 “Specs” can help invent a post-smartphone future despite their premium price and limited battery life. But the more immediate reality of tech is under scrutiny: Consumer Reports says Uber and Lyft often quote sharply different fares for the same ride, raising fresh questions about opaque algorithmic pricing. There’s also a more grounded story emerging, from Fast Company’s showcase of AI tools tackling child welfare, climate and healthcare, to Ripple’s investment in Flutterwave to speed cross-border payments across Africa.
