Digital divide

Starlink, SpaceX’s satellite internet constellation project, aims to provide high-speed internet access to remote and underserved areas globally.

The terminals, which receive signals from Starlink satellites, have garnered significant interest due to their potential to bridge the digital divide and improve connectivity in regions with limited access to traditional internet infrastructure.

However, Musk’s statement emphatically refutes any claims of Starlink terminals being sold to Russia, reaffirming SpaceX’s commitment to transparency and accuracy in its operations.

The tweet aims to tackle the issue head on, and dismiss concerns and dispel rumors surrounding SpaceX’s business dealings.

Anthropic’s Claude AI now manages coding tasks, boosting productivity by 50% as engineers shift to oversight roles.

Anthropic has confirmed that its AI, Claude, now handles almost all coding tasks at the company. Engineers are shifting from writing code to oversight and planning, marking a major change in how software development teams operate.

Users report a productivity boost of 50 percent since implementing Claude, highlighting the potential of AI to reshape workflows and day-to-day operations. The shift raises questions about the balance between human oversight and automated code generation.

The move has also affected markets, with shares of Indian IT services companies falling as investors assess the impact on traditional tech roles. Industry leaders stress that while AI can generate code, human input remains crucial for design, review, and strategic decision-making.
