Today they launched Higgsfield Mix. This allows multiple camera motion controls to be mixed into a single shot. The workflow is still super simple, just select the combination of motions that you want, then add an image and a prompt. They also added 10 new motions into their library, including building explosion, lens crack and eyes in explosive stuff from Higgsfield.

After Chris Anderson announced that he would be stepping down as the head of Ted after 25 years, he's on the lookout for a new steward to take on the role. Luckily, the 1x Neo humanoid robot was up to the challenge and it confidently took to the stage to announce its new position.

Even better, it probably stayed around after the conference to clean up and vacuum the stage. NotebookLM has unveiled a new option called Discover Sources. Up until now, you would have to manually upload sources for your projects to give the notebook the learning material, but now that process can be automated.

When you tap the Discover button, your notebook will scour the web for relevant sources and return you a list of 10 of the best. Add the ones you like to your notebook in one click and your research is ready to go. This relatively small change will make NotebookLM far more effective for those times where you just need to quickly learn about a topic and speed is of the essence.

And finally, earlier this week, Zipline announced it is officially launching in Dallas. Zipline is a delivery company that delivers goods straight to your door using a fascinating combination of a large drone with a delivery pod attached by a wire. Zipline's P2 drones are capable of carrying up to 8 pounds over a 10 mile radius and they claim to have 'dinner plate level accuracy'.

But this isn't just a far off concept. They already have a partnership with Walmart and a couple of other companies, and if you're lucky enough to live in the area, you can make orders via the app and get most deliveries within just a few minutes. Is this the future of small package delivery?

It's certainly a very cool concept.
