alternative_right shares a report from Axios: The latest must-have accessory is a "stop-scrolling bag" -- a tote packed with analog activities like watercolors and crossword puzzles. We spend hours glued to our screens. "Analog bags," as they're also called, are one way millennials and Gen Zers are reclaiming that time. "I basically just put everything I could grab for instead of my phone into a bag," including knitting, a scrapbook and a Polaroid camera, says Sierra Campbell, the content creator behind the trend. The 31-year-old keeps one bag at home in Northern California, carrying it from room to room, and another in her car. The trend has quickly spread on social media, part of a bigger shift to unplug. Roughly 1,600 TikTok posts were tagged #AnalogLife during the first nine months of 2025 -- up over 330% from the same period last year, according to TikTok data shared with Axios. "It speaks to an incredible desperation and desire for experiences that return our attention to us, that fight brain-rotting, that are tactile ... that involve creating over scrolling," says Beth McGroarty, vice president of research at the Global Wellness Institute.

OpenAI has acquired Software Applications Incorporated, the 12-person startup behind Sky -- an AI interface for Mac computers that can understand on-screen context and perform tasks across apps. The deal follows OpenAI's recent acquisitions of Statsig and Jony Ive's io. CNBC reports: The startup's product called Sky allows users of Mac computers to prompt it with natural language to get help with writing, coding, planning and managing their days, OpenAI said in a blog post. Sky can take actions through apps and understands what's on a user's screen. "Sky's deep integration with the Mac accelerates our vision of bringing AI directly into the tools people use every day," Nick Turley, the head of ChatGPT at OpenAI, said in a statement. Software Applications was founded in 2023, and the company unveiled Sky in May. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman contributed to the startup's $6.5 million seed funding round, according to its website.

Google and Anthropic have finalized a cloud partnership worth tens of billions of dollars, granting Anthropic access to up to one million of Google's Tensor Processing Units and more than a gigawatt of compute power by 2026. CNBC reports: Industry estimates peg the cost of a 1-gigawatt data center at around $50 billion, with roughly $35 billion of that typically allocated to chips. While competitors tout even loftier projections -- OpenAI's 33-gigawatt "Stargate" chief among them -- Anthropic's move is a quiet power play rooted in execution, not spectacle. Founded by former OpenAI researchers, the company has deliberately adopted a slower, steadier ethos, one that is efficient, diversified, and laser-focused on the enterprise market. A key to Anthropic's infrastructure strategy is its multi-cloud architecture. The company's Claude family of language models runs across Google's TPUs, Amazon's custom Trainium chips, and Nvidia's GPUs, with each platform assigned to specialized workloads like training, inference, and research. Google said the TPUs offer Anthropic "strong price-performance and efficiency." [...] Anthropic's ability to spread workloads across vendors lets it fine-tune for price, performance, and power constraints. According to a person familiar with the company's infrastructure strategy, every dollar of compute stretches further under this model than those locked into single-vendor architectures.
