Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily read on the stories shaping our digital world.
SpaceX is making a significant pivot beyond rockets and satellites. The company is reportedly planning a fifty-five billion dollar investment to manufacture artificial intelligence chips through a venture called Terafab. It's a striking move that would put Elon Musk's aerospace firm in direct competition with established semiconductor players at a moment when demand for AI hardware is outpacing supply across the industry.
On the security front, the Humanity Protocol suffered a painful reminder of how fragile decentralized systems can be. Attackers compromised the private keys of a foundation member and used that access to drain holdings, then dumped the stolen tokens on the open market. The project's token lost more than eighty percent of its value, and roughly thirty-two million dollars in damage was done before anyone could stop it.
And in a quieter corner of the tech world, a small tool called Plastron is drawing some early attention. It's a spreadsheet that lives entirely in a single HTML file and can grow, with enough tinkering, into a functional web application. It's the kind of project that speaks to developers who want something lightweight and self-contained, no cloud dependencies, no accounts, just a file you can own completely.
