UK regulates cloud giants, SpaceX files for 100K Starlink Gen3

OpenAI is hiring a product manager to build ChatGPT experiences specifically for families, caregivers, and older adults, according to a job posting. The role signals a strategic push beyond professional and developer users into household contexts where safety, parental controls, and age-appropriate interaction design matter. Features under consideration include age prediction models, crisis support guardrails, and caregiver assistance tools. It is a bet that the next major wave of AI adoption comes from families integrating AI into daily routines: cooking, homework help, family scheduling, and elder care. The move deepens ChatGPT's competition with smart assistants from Apple, Amazon, and Google, but with far more capable language understanding.

Even Realities released the G2, a pair of smart glasses that deliberately omits a camera and speakers. Instead, the $599, 36g glasses offer a heads-up display for real-time translation, navigation prompts, and teleprompter-style notes. The company recently raised $150 million at a $1 billion valuation from Meituan and Tencent. The no-camera bet is a direct alternative to Meta's approach: rather than solving the social problem of always-recording glasses, Even Realities sidesteps it entirely. The target market is professionals in meetings, presentations, and travel who want ambient information without the privacy creepiness. The G2 runs on custom optics and claims eight hours of battery on a charge.

Mixfont launched Ghost Font, an experimental anti-AI communication tool that renders messages as moving dots in a video. The letters are immediately readable to a human eye when the video plays, but paused frames show only static noise indistinguishable from the background. Even leading models like GPT Sol 5.6 Ultra and Claude Fable with extended reasoning struggled to decode the message: one hallucinated a non-existent text, while the other fell for a deliberately placed decoy message embedded in the video. The creator, Eric Lu, plans to open-source the code. While not practical for everyday text, Ghost Font is a clever benchmark for AI visual perception limits and a potential building block for next-generation CAPTCHAs that leverage motion rather than static images.

BMW has issued a public warning about unauthorized production of its vehicles in Russia, where registrations of BMW-badged cars nearly tripled in 2025 despite the company having suspended official operations after the Ukraine invasion. The 'pirated' cars are assembled from a mix of genuine parts, Chinese components, and counterfeit pieces, raising serious safety, intellectual property, and liability concerns. BMW has no control over build quality, and owners have no warranty or access to official service. Safety systems may not function as designed. The situation mirrors broader challenges facing Western automakers as gray-market and unauthorized production fills the gap left by their departure from Russia.
