🫡 AI Wiped Out

A bug in the latest Windows 11 update has removed the Copilot AI assistant from some devices.

💘 Microsoft acknowledged the issue and is working on a fix. Affected users are advised to reinstall Copilot from the Microsoft Store and pin it back to the taskbar manually.

💘 However, many users didn’t bother. Instead, they welcomed this unexpected “feature” and joked about fearing Copilot’s return.

💘 Microsoft is currently developing an integrated version of the AI assistant—so far, only a web version is available. Meanwhile, the company is preparing a Copilot update that, according to rumors, could put it in direct competition with OpenAI’s products.

❤️ Cutie Patootie With a Brain

Nvidia has introduced Blue, a next-generation robot equipped with the Newton physics engine and the cutting-edge AI model Groot N1.

The announcement took place at GTC 2025, where Nvidia’s co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang personally showcased the robot’s capabilities.

Newton, an open-source physics engine, allows Blue to interact with its surroundings efficiently, executing complex tasks up to 70 times faster than other simulation tools.

Meanwhile, the Groot N1 neural model functions similarly to the human brain—first analyzing possible ways to complete a task before sending control signals to execute it.

🦴 Over 1 Billion Served

Pavel Durov announced that Telegram is now the world’s second most popular messaging app, trailing only WeChat, which dominates the Chinese market.

💘 On average, users open Telegram 21 times a day and spend 41 minutes in the app.

💘 Revenue is climbing—Telegram pulled in $547 million in 2024.

💘 The next goal is dethroning WhatsApp, which Durov called "a cheap, watered-down imitation of Telegram."

For years, they’ve desperately tried to copy our innovations while burning billions on lobbying and PR campaigns to slow us down. They failed.

Telegram "grew, became profitable, and—unlike our competitor—retained its independence," Durov concluded.
