    Huawei Vice President Yuan Yuan: 70% of Computing Power Idle, Data Development Rate 28.4%, AI Development Requires Enhanced Storage Support

    Yuan Yuan, Vice President of Huawei and President of the Data Storage Product Line, pointed out at the 2026 Data Storage Industry Conference that the average GPU utilization rate in China's intelligent computing centers is about 30%, with roughly 70% of computing power yet to generate effective value, and the enterprise data resource development rate is about 28.4%; AI development requires enhancing storage's ability to support computing power. A report released at the conference predicts that by the end of 2026, the global storage industry will exceed $1.7 trillion in scale, with growth shifting toward enterprise SSDs, AI data centers, and inference-oriented data infrastructure. Yuan Yuan proposed two paths, "All in One" and "One for All," aimed respectively at the industry AI usage side and the AI production side such as model vendors.

    Community developer open-sources DeepSeek Harness mobile app dsh-Go, surpassing 1,000 GitHub stars in three hours

    ccch1mneyyy, the author of the dsh-TUI plugin, has publicly beta-tested dsh-Go, a mobile app designed for DeepSeek Harness. Three hours after release, its GitHub star count exceeded 1k; it now has over 1.7k stars and more than 6,000 installer downloads. The app can connect to DSH on a host machine to sync messages and task progress in real time, supports phone-based controls such as reading the screen, setting alarms, and checking the calendar, and includes a built-in plugin marketplace. It currently supports only Android 8 and above, and the latest version is DSH Go 1.0.2. Zhi Dong Xi's hands-on test found that session sync, model selection, and basic functions are relatively complete, with occasional latency and connection-drop issues.

    Tangled Launches the First Truly Federated Code Hosting Platform

    Tangled has launched what it calls the first truly federated code hosting platform, allowing users to host code on their own servers and collaborate seamlessly with other instances. The new frontend has been switched to Svelte and deployed to edge nodes, accompanied by bobbin, an in-memory indexing service written in Rust that covers 11+ regions; knot2 has been rewritten in Rust and stores issues, PRs, comments, and more as COBs within the repository. Self-hosted users need to upgrade to v1.20.0, and private repositories, CLI, SDK, and agent skills will roll out in the coming weeks.

    Altman says personally holding DRAM is a waste; OpenAI is developing its own Jalapeno chip

    OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in an interview on Cheeky Pint that from a global allocation perspective, having everyone put a bunch of the world's limited DRAM in their computers and use only 5% of it is quite bad, and maximizing utilization in the cloud is what makes sense. He said many people think local inference with open-source models can solve the problem, but intuition runs counter to this constrained environment. He also revealed that OpenAI is designing its own AI processor, Jalapeno, designed by AI for AI. The article mentions that memory price increases have already hit consumer hardware, and Micron announced its exit from consumer-grade memory production.

    heise hands-on with ArtCraft: cutting a complete 3003 video with the open-source Adobe clone

    A heise reporter used ArtCraft's FilmCraft, EffectCraft and PhotoCraft to fully edit a c't 3003 video and produce a thumbnail, concluding that these still-Alpha open-source tools are already usable for real work. In testing, Premiere rendered about one-third faster with hardware encoding and twice as fast with software encoding; FilmCraft was laggier on Windows than on macOS and Linux, and EffectCraft froze the entire machine after running for a minute or two on Zorin OS. The author also used Codex to fix several bugs in his own FilmCraft branch and added a FilmCraft–EffectCraft linkage feature similar to Adobe Dynamic Link.

    First case: University of Kentucky employee granted religious exemption from using AI

    David Durman, a research administrator at the University of Kentucky, received special permission from his employer to not use AI at work on religious grounds—the first known case of its kind. He applied through the American Humanist Association under laws that allow for adjustments to work requirements based on religious beliefs, and the university agreed. The original article also mentions that in an Anthropic survey, 86% of participants adopted AI's opinions in decision-making scenarios, yet only 15% mentioned that they had used AI.

    South Korean Tesla Owners Bypass FSD Software Lock, Seoul Police Investigate 80 People

    Seoul police are investigating 80 South Korean car owners suspected of illegally enabling Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD) and have seized 21 unlocking devices. These devices are suspected of being connected via CAN-Bus to bypass South Korea's FSD software restrictions on models such as the Model 3 and Model Y; FSD is currently only approved for the Model S, Model X and Cybertruck imported from the United States. Those involved face up to 2 years in prison or a fine of 20 million won (approximately 13,400 euros).

    Cohere expects to create more than 1,500 jobs and invest more than CAD 4 billion in Canada by 2031

    On October 30, 2026, Cohere said that its multi-year Canadian investment plan, launched in 2024, is expected to create more than 1,500 local Canadian jobs and bring more than CAD 4 billion in research and development and AI infrastructure investment by 2031, of which about 1,000 will be technical roles in AI research, engineering, product, infrastructure, and deployment. A day earlier, the Canadian government announced an equity investment of up to CAD 1.6 billion, joined by private investors including NVIDIA, Bell, and Schwarz Group, with the investment carried out in stages and regular reporting on employment and investment progress. Under the agreement, Cohere must create at least 1,000 high-paying technical jobs by 2030 and invest at least an additional CAD 1.7 billion in computing infrastructure in Canada, while retaining its Canadian registration and headquarters.

    Study: Enterprise document parsing loses highlights and text colors, making it hard for agents to identify key requirements

    A study of 6,462 policy documents found that commonly used document conversion tools discard highlights and text colors, preventing AI agents from identifying key requirements marked by authors. In tests on 84 documents, 332 marked requirements, and 4,192 unmarked requirements, the format-preserving parsing scheme achieved an F1 of 0.690, Docling scored 0.150, and plain text only 0.075, with the proportions of unmarked requirements mistakenly selected at 1.1% and 4.3%, respectively. The authors recommend preserving the original highlights and colors during conversion and attaching meaning labels, at the cost of roughly twice the token consumption of plain text.

    Pope Leo XIV calls for "disarming" AI, urges ban on lethal autonomous weapons

    In an audience on October 30 with participants of a joint conference of the Pontifical Academy for Life and the Future of Life Institute, Pope Leo XIV called for the "disarming" of artificial intelligence and urged nations meeting in Geneva in November to take concrete steps to ban lethal autonomous weapons. He put forward five considerations, emphasizing that machines are tools rather than persons, that decisions concerning human life, freedom, and the use of force must always remain under effective human oversight, and that AI development should not become a race. These remarks derive from his encyclical "Magnifica Humanitas," issued on May 15, 2026.

    In the interview, Empiric Earth President Jen Vescio stated that the company was formed by the merger of Nexar and Nauto and holds over 10 billion miles of real driving data and 60 million edge cases, enabling it to provide independent evaluation and validation for Physical AI. She emphasized that the company does not build cars or robots, but instead serves as a "referee" in the ecosystem, helping customers shorten development cycles, reduce risk, and accelerate commercialization. She noted that physical-world data is difficult to record and highly fragmented, and that in U.S. data, for every crash there are about 19 near-collisions that go unrecorded.

But paranormal researchers such as Alex Matsuo are skeptical of this kind of generative AI, believing the core of ghost hunting should remain human; forums such as r/Nosleep have also introduced strict policies banning AI-generated content.
