Sony's Bravia 9 Series TVs saw significant price cuts this weekend, while the AI coding wars heated up with competing model releases from OpenAI and Anthropic. The sports economy is projected to reach $8.8 trillion by 2050, and the Milan Cortina 2026 Olympics opening ceremony offered a defiant embrace of analog spectacle, according to multiple sources.
Sony's 75-inch Bravia 9 Series screen was available with a $900 discount, while the 85-inch version saw a massive $1,800 markdown, according to Wired. These large-screen televisions, known for their brightness, were available at retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy.
In the tech world, OpenAI released GPT-5.3-Codex, its most capable coding agent to date, on Wednesday, coinciding with Anthropic's unveiling of its upgraded Claude Opus 4.6 model, VentureBeat reported. This synchronized launch marked the beginning of what industry observers called the AI coding wars, a high-stakes battle for the enterprise software development market. The two companies were also set to air competing Super Bowl advertisements on Sunday.
The sports economy is poised for substantial growth. The World Economic Forum projected that the sports economy, currently valued at $2.3 trillion, would reach $8.8 trillion by 2050, as stated in Time. This growth depends on healthy people, stable environments, and resilient communities.
The Milan Cortina 2026 Olympics opening ceremony was a notable event. The ceremony included a tribute to La Dolce Vita, the classic Italian cinema, according to Time.
Anthropic's market disruption also caused ripples in the financial world. The release of new add-ons to Claude led to a decline in the shares of software-as-a-service companies like Adobe, Intuit, and Salesforce, as reported by Time. Legacy tech giants with large AI businesses, such as Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, were also affected. Analysts were still assessing the implications of these developments.
