Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features
Motorola has announced a partnership with GrapheneOS which will see a phone with support, as well as features ported to other devices.

The man from Oracle says they are making databases more AI. Support for vectors in the db and systems to ensure secure access for agents.
He wants to encourage us to use one big (Oracle) db instead of lots of caches and nosql databases. The ai prefers thst, he reckons.
Oracle is like a smart phone. It can do everything. No need for separate devices for music and notes and whatnot. It can even do json now. And vectors.
Data privacy is often done at the app layer, which means a rogue ai could generate SQL to bypas that. So do access control in the db direftly. Which is probably better even without ai honestly. This 'deep security' might work well.
Ai is happier , according to the man from Oracle, if it just has one Oracle db without competitors software at all.
Fancy that.
