Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily look at what's moving in the world of technology.
A cautionary tale out of the UK today, where Satsuma, a Bitcoin treasury company that raised two hundred eighteen million dollars less than a year ago, is now unwinding its position and selling off around forty three million dollars in Bitcoin. The company says it will return whatever remains to shareholders — a stark reminder that corporate crypto bets carry real consequences when the market turns against you.
Meanwhile, a new report is raising questions about how artificial intelligence is quietly reshaping workplace relationships. Seventy four percent of regular AI users now say they bring their questions to AI rather than to colleagues. Workers report feeling more self-sufficient, but researchers warn that newer employees may be missing the informal social exchanges that build culture and institutional knowledge — the kind of learning no chatbot can fully replicate.
And on a lighter note, Meta is testing a new app called StoryKit that generates AI-powered bedtime stories for children. Available only in select regions for now, the company is watching how parents respond to outsourcing one of the more intimate rituals of family life to a language model. Whether that lands as convenience or something lost entirely probably depends on who you ask.
