Africa drives Kenya exports, Anthropic in $10B Meta compute talks

GitHub published a framework arguing that AI has decoupled the cost of creating code from the cost of owning it. Engineering teams can now generate features in hours that used to take days, but the maintenance burden -- reviews, security, docs, on-call -- is unchanged or rising. The post warns that teams saying yes to more AI-generated code without budgeting for the ownership phase are building tech debt faster than ever. The practical advice: evaluate AI-generated PRs by the same ownership-cost calculus as human-written ones, not by how fast they appeared.

Elon Musk acquired APR Energy, a Jacksonville company operating more than 1GW of mobile gas and diesel turbines, according to an FTC filing dated May 2026. The deal was made public only through the regulatory notice. APR Energy's generators can be deployed rapidly to support data center power needs without waiting years for grid interconnection. For xAI, which is building massive compute clusters, the acquisition gives it an independent power source that can be trucked in and running in weeks.

The FBI arrested Zyaire Wilkins, 21, for publishing eight fake video games on Steam that contained malware designed to drain cryptocurrency wallets. Prosecutors say the scheme ran from May 2024 to February 2026, infecting about 8,000 devices and stealing at least $220,000. The FBI traced stolen bitcoin to Uber Eats gift cards among other conversion methods. Steam has since removed the games. The case is a reminder that app-store trust models are only as good as their review process, and that crypto theft has become a mainstream crime vector with consumer-grade tooling.

Most 2027 model-year Stellantis vehicles across Ram, Jeep, Dodge, and Chrysler will include 10 years of free remote engine start/stop via the brand mobile app. The company also cut its in-car WiFi subscription price and is offering discounted three-year SiriusXM. In an industry where BMW, GM, and others have been locking heated seats and remote start behind monthly fees, Stellantis is betting that goodwill now pays off in brand loyalty later. For buyers, it is a rare piece of good news in the connected-car subscription world.

Automakers including GM and Tesla have argued in regulatory filings that headlights exceeding legal brightness limits do not pose a safety risk, calling the violations inconsequential. Consumer groups and safety advocates disagree, pointing to thousands of complaints about oncoming glare, particularly from drivers of sedans and older vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been investigating. For anyone who has been blinded by an oncoming pickup or SUV at night, the automaker argument is hard to swallow. The practical effect: recalls are delayed while the safety debate drags through agency proceedings.
