Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO of Klarna, is adopting "vibe coding," which uses AI technologies like Cursor to create product prototypes in minutes instead of weeks as engineering teams used to do. He explained on the *Sourcery* podcast how AI enables him to independently test concepts, relieving developers of some of their burden and spurring innovation. Andrej Karpathy of OpenAI popularised the term "vibe coding," which describes the process of creating functional code from massive language models. Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, also commended the strategy, describing it as "delightful." Even though Klarna will have automated 2.3 million client enquiries by 2024, it still offers human assistance, which Siemiatkowski says might develop into a VIP service. The pattern is indicative of a larger movement in tech leadership towards more active AI exploration and shorter product cycles. Read More..

In an effort to put pressure on Russia to halt its war in Ukraine, President Donald Trump has called for the European Union to impose 100% tariffs on China and India. In a virtual conference with U.S. and EU officials, Trump made the idea and said the U.S. would only take action if Europe joined. China and India are prime targets since they purchase a significant amount of Russian oil. Citing similar concerns, Trump increased duties on Indian goods to 50% last month. Trump called Prime Minister Narendra Modi a "very good friend" and voiced confidence about trade negotiations with him despite the concerns. Modi gave a positive response, highlighting the possibilities of the alliance between the United States and India. The demand for tariffs gives geopolitical strategy and international trade a new dimension. Read More..

In order to optimise content creation for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, Google has updated its Veo 3 AI video model to enable vertical clips and 1080p resolution. Although vertical output is presently limited to 720p, developers can now create films with a 916 aspect ratio by utilising the Gemini API. In order to create hyperrealistic influencerstyle material, Veo 3 also generates synchronised audio.
