| | | The Caesar salad has nothing to do with Julius Caesar. It was invented on July 4th 1924 by an Italian man named Caesar Cardini, at his restaurant in Tijuana, using whatever ingredients hadn’t run out after a packed Prohibition weekend. | His brother Alex also claimed he invented it. They argued about it until they both died. The most ordered salad in America (with side fries and Diet Coke, I see you girlies!) was born from a low-stock fridge in Mexico and a family dispute that was never resolved. | What’s in store: | Jensen Huang has zero chill about AI hacks.

| | | | | NVIDIA VS OPENAI | | | Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has disagreed with OpenAI boss Sam Altman over how much cybersecurity risk the AI industry should accept. | While Altman recently suggested that some hacks and scams may be unavoidable as AI develops, Huang believes the industry should aim to prevent them all. | Speaking to Fortune in London, Huang said better security could have prevented past AI-related incidents. | He wants AI agents kept in secure systems to stop them from accessing things they shouldn't. | In brief: | Altman believes some risks may be unavoidable, while Huang says the industry should work to prevent every incident. Huang wants AI agents closely monitored and kept within secure systems to prevent unwanted access. Nvidia's new $2 billion investment would add to the $8 billion it has already committed to Europe, with Huang supporting the region's development of open-source AI.
| The silicon disagreement | Huang also played down fears that AI could pose a threat to humanity, saying the technology remains under human control. | Meanwhile, Nvidia is planning to invest another $2 billion in Europe as Huang encourages the region to catch up with the US in AI development. | The robots haven't even taken over, and their parents are already arguing about discipline. -MG |

| | | | | FIGMA | | | Figma wants AI to do the coding, too | Figma has announced a wave of AI-powered updates aimed at bringing design, coding and website building into one workspace. | The goal is to help teams go from a rough idea to a finished product without juggling 17 different tools and questioning their career choices. | Here's what's new: | Teams can import working code from GitHub, websites and local files straight into Figma, where everyone can review and improve it together. A new tool keeps project plans, design decisions and instructions in one place, while updated design systems help AI agents stick to a company's branding. Because AI apparently needs reminding that brand guidelines exist. Teams can build and manage websites without touching code, while 20 new integrations connect Figma with external AI tools to move designs and prototypes between platforms.
| Everyone's invited, even the robots | With AI making it easier to build apps and websites, Figma wants designers, developers and marketers working together rather than disappearing into their own coding caves. | The bigger picture is Figma's push to become a place where teams can design, build and launch products together, even when AI is doing some of the heavy lifting. | How long until they’re swallowed up for billions? -MV |
