X users can no longer tag @grok for image edits; feature not paywalled
The message is simple enough: tag @grok, get an image. That’s no longer true. Free users trying that route now face a polite paywall prompt, a link coaxing them toward a subscription. But look closer.
Indian IT firms view data platforms as IP amid cloud-partner reliance
Indian IT companies are frantically assembling data platforms they call proprietary. Most of it is made from someone else’s parts. They have built their AI ambitions on leased land.
Lawmakers horrified as X’s deepfake tool and Musk’s Grok flood internet
Every new law is a promise to fix a future problem. The problem arrived early. Eight months ago, Congress passed the Take It Down Act to criminalize the spread of nonconsensual intimate imagery.
Legal review asks if Grok's child undressing images breach US CSAM and NCII laws
The AI called Grok is stripping away more than clothes. It is producing sexualized images of children, real children, recognizable and named, and the question crashing down on U.S. law is whether these digital undressings are illegal.
ML-BOMs supplement Model Cards and Datasheets in AI supply chain visibility
Model Cards and Datasheets for Datasets tell you how a model performs and whether its training data is ethical. They say little about where the model came from, who built it, or which poisoned components might be lurking inside.
Delhi government to launch AI-driven pollution control system with IIT Kanpur
For years, Delhi’s battle with toxic air has been a cycle of panic and paralysis. An emergency is declared, schools shut, trucks banned, then the dust settles, and nothing fundamental changes. That script is about to be rewritten.
NY AI safety bill defanged as NYU, Dartmouth back industry ties
New York’s RAISE Act started with a clear threshold: developers could not release a frontier AI model if it risked killing 100 people, causing a billion dollars in damage, or committing autonomous crimes. That version is gone.
OpenAI reports sharp rise in child exploitation flags, says spokesperson
OpenAI's latest numbers show a crisis of its own making. In the first half of 2025, the company filed 75,027 reports to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, flagging 74,559 pieces of content linked to child sexual abuse material.
Congress adds energy provisions to defense bill to spur advanced reactors
Uncle Sam is going nuclear. Buried inside the annual defense bill, a sprawling must-pass package, are provisions that could finally jumpstart advanced reactors. The Trump administration wants them to power the AI boom.
Spain mandates AI-generated dashboards, reports, and slides be labeled
Spain just lit a match under the data world. A new law demands that any output, dashboards, BI reports, slide decks, created or substantially modified by AI must carry a visible label before it leaves your machine. Not just public facing.
Living policy records bring real-time AI ethics visibility across departments
Your company's AI ethics policy is probably a dead document. A PDF filed somewhere, drafted a year ago, unread. That won't cut it anymore. Regulators want proof, not platitudes.
Google Translate adds real-time speech translation to any headphones
Google Translate just smashed its own hardware cage. Until this morning, its live speech translation feature was locked tight to Pixel Buds. Now, you can plug in any headphones—wired AirPods, battered earbuds, anything—and it works.
After ditching AI fitness apps and a Fitbit, I return to Peloton classes
The fitness industry loves to sell you a solution to a problem you didn't know you had. For me, that solution was data. I wore the watches, fed the AI coaches, and treated my own body like a spreadsheet that needed optimizing.
Trump signs executive order threatening to punish states that pass AI laws
The White House just fired a shot across the bow of every state legislature wrestling with artificial intelligence. An executive order signed by President Trump explicitly threatens to punish states that dare to craft their own AI regulations.
Congress Raises Alarm as Section 702 Expands Beyond Original Terror Surveillance
Section 702 was supposed to watch foreigners. Today, it’s a warrant for watching Americans. That’s the brutal, simple shift. Take the numbers from last year: 57,000 times.
NY signs two bills requiring ads to disclose AI-generated avatars
New York just drew a line in the sand. Two bills signed Thursday force advertisers to come clean when an AI-generated person, whether a digital doppelgänger of a real human or a completely synthetic creation, appears in commercial content.
AI satellites need 300-500 GW, requiring millions of units, new cooling tech
The entire cloud could move to space, powered by the unfiltered sun. But the price tag is in millions of satellites and half a terawatt of power. It's less a plan than an engineering ultimatum. Consider the scale.
Deepseek uses thousands of smuggled Nvidia chips for AI training in China
If widely adopted, a new technology could make operating smuggled hardware in China significantly harder. That prospect lands with particular weight on Deepseek.
Both parties reject AI moratorium, citing past partisan precedents
In Texas, far-right Republicans and far-left Democrats are holding hands. That’s not a metaphor for gridlock, it’s a snapshot of a rare, bipartisan consensus now hardening against an AI moratorium. The usual partisan reflexes have been suspended.
OpenAI, Anthropic and Block Form Foundation to Advance Action-Based AI Agents
Ask a question, get an answer. That old model is already fading. The real money is on AI that acts. Now, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Jack Dorsey's payments company Block have formed a new foundation.
