Move brings total number of people killed in US strikes on suspected boats since September to at least 148 The US military launched a strike on an alleged drug smuggling boat in the eastern Pacific on Friday, killing three men in its second strike this week. “Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations,” US Southern Command, which oversees operations in Latin America and the Caribbean, said on Twitter/X .

据 The Information 爆料,OpenAI 正在开发一款智能音箱,它将配备摄像头,支持类似苹果 Face ID 的人脸识别。 你未来可能「看一眼」就能完成购物支付,类似功能目前在小米、Rokid 等智能眼镜已经实现。 在苹果、Meta 都在把 AI 塞进眼镜、手表、吊坠等可穿戴设备时,OpenAI 尝试把摄像头塞进音箱, 能「看见」你和周遭的环境,让 AI 对你的理解也将从语言延伸到行...
据 The Information 爆料,OpenAI 正在开发一款智能音箱,它将配备摄像头,支持类似苹果 Face ID 的人脸识别。 你未来可能「看一眼」就能完成购物支付,类似功能目前在小米、Rokid 等智能眼镜已经实现。 在苹果、Meta 都在把 AI 塞进眼镜、手表、吊坠等可穿戴设备时,OpenAI 尝试把摄像头塞进音箱, 能「看见」你和周遭的环境,让 AI 对你的理解也将从语言延伸到行为,你的作息、习惯、情绪状态,都将让 AI 读懂和拼凑出一个真实的你。 产品假想图,图片由 Nano Banana Pro 生成 APPSO 先给你快速梳理下 OpenAI 智能音箱的核心信息 定价:200-300 美元(约 1450-2200 元人民币) 发售时间:最早 2027 年 2 月 核心功能:摄像头环境感知、Face ID 级人脸识别、语音购物 设计团队:Jony Ive 的 LoveFrom + OpenAI 硬件团队 产品矩阵:智能音箱首发,智能眼镜、智能台灯后续跟进 「长眼」的智能音箱,你敢用吗 智能音箱这个品类,从 Amazon Echo 到 Apple HomePod,已经卷了快十年。但这些设备的「智能」,往往停留在「能听懂关键词」的层面,离真正的「理解」差着十万八千里。 OpenAI 的解法简单粗暴:给它装上眼睛。 智能音箱内置摄像头,能识别你周边环境,比如桌上摆了什么、旁边在聊什么。还 支持类似 Face ID 的面部识别,可以直接刷脸完成购买 。这种「所见即所得」的购物体验,目前市面上的智能音箱还做不到。 结合 ChatGPT 去年上线的购物功能——用户可以在对话框里完成从选品到跳转下单的完整流程, 这个刷脸购买功能将有望直接服务于「AI 即购物入口」的闭环,成为消费决策链条上的第一道关口。 如无意外,这也将对现有流量分发逻辑造成重大的挑战:Google 靠搜索吃了数十年广告红利,电商平台靠货架逻辑构建起庞大生态, 而 OpenAI 想在这两者之前再插入一个新的决策层级。 此外,这款智能音箱还能通过持续的视觉观察判断用户状态——比如发现你在重要会议前夜还在熬夜,会主动提醒你去早点睡。 这样一来智能音箱的定位,就从一个智能家居产品,变成了一个 AI 管家中枢。 不过,这种全天候的数据采集,隐私边界在哪里,或许有待 OpenAI 正式发布时给出答案。...

There is rarely a clear-cut start and end date to a recession. By the time people realize they are in a recession, it's usually been going on for several months. That's because much of the economic data that investors and consumers rely on is released with a lag. There are often revisions to this data, which can indicate that the economy might have been performing much better or worse than everyone initially believed. While the U.S. does not currently appear to be in a recession, recent data suggests that the economy might be closer to one than believed. Here are three signs of a looming recession that could trigger a stock market crash, along with one way the Federal Reserve can still bail the market out in such a scenario.

India Boosts Saudi Oil Imports, Slows Russian Buying, Amid US Pressure Via The Cradle Saudi crude shipments to India are set to reach their highest level since 2020 this month , narrowing the gap with Russian supplies as New Delhi faces ongoing US pressure to reduce its purchases of Russian oil, according to data from Kpler cited by Bloomberg on Friday. Flows from Saudi Arabia are projected at between 1 million and 1.1 million barrels per day (bpd), Kpler lead research analyst Sumit Ritolia said, describing the volumes as the strongest since November 2019, bringing Saudi exports broadly in line with Russian deliveries. Saudi Aramco Kpler estimates Russian crude shipments to India at around 1.2 million bpd this month, which would keep Moscow as India’s largest supplier , though at levels well below the more than 2 million bpd seen at peak periods over the past three years . For March, Kpler forecasts Russian flows easing further to between 800,000 and 1 million bpd , noting that such a drop could allow Saudi Arabia to retake the top spot if Indian refiners keep replacing Russian crude with Saudi shipments. In early February, US President Donald Trump announced a trade deal with India that linked tariff reductions to India halting purchases of Russian crude oil. He said he would cut punitive tariffs on Indian goods in exchange for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s agreement that India would stop buying Russian oil. He even suggested New Delhi would increase purchases of US – and potentially Venezuelan – oil. Current import levels indicate that Indian buyers have not moved abruptly to cut Russian intake . India emerged as a major buyer of Russian crude after the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, when discounted barrels diverted from Europe were rerouted to Asian markets – meaning that any loss of market share in India would shrink one of Moscow’s main export outlets. Meanwhile, as Indian spot purchases soften, China's imports of Russian oil are on track for a record month. Russia...
