Hand-picked News
What started as a 2025 data scraping probe just turned into something much darker.
Criminal investigation expanded to include child sexual abuse material distribution, privacy violations, and Holocaust denial
French prosecutors and Europol hit X's Paris office with a coordinated raid on Tuesday
Musk and former X CEO Linda Yaccarino summoned for questioning on April 20, with unnamed staff also called in
This stems from the Grok AI disaster. The chatbot has been widely used to generate nonconsensual imagery, including images of minors, sparking California AG investigations and now criminal probes in France.
👀 Why this matters: France isn't messing around. The Paris prosecutor's office explicitly stated their goal is "to ensure platform X's compliance with French law" because it operates on French soil.
This isn't just bad PR for Musk, it's a blueprint for how regulators worldwide might start treating AI platforms that enable abuse.
Quick take: If your AI tool can be weaponized to create illegal content this easily, expect regulators to move fast. The "move fast and break things" era is officially over when child safety is on the line.
Claude Agent and OpenAI's Codex can now build entire iOS apps while you're in meetings.
Full autonomy unlocked: AI agents can now create files, run tests, capture UI snapshots, iterate through bugs, and access all of Apple's dev docs without human intervention
One-click setup in Xcode 26.3 lets you swap between Claude and Codex mid-project, with Apple optimizing both for reduced token costs
Open standard support via Model Context Protocol means any MCP-compatible agent can plug into Xcode, not just the big two
This is way bigger than copilot-style autocomplete. Xcode 26 added basic AI chat last year, but 26.3 gives agents the keys to the whole kingdom. They can break down complex tasks, make architectural decisions, verify their own work visually, and keep fixing errors until everything compiles. Apple even worked directly with Anthropic and OpenAI to fine-tune the integrations.
✅ Why this matters: Apple just legitimized agentic coding for millions of iOS developers. This isn't a niche dev tool anymore, it's baked into the official Apple workflow. If you're still manually writing boilerplate or debugging build errors, you're about to feel very slow.
Pro tip: Apple says asking the agent to "think through its plans before writing code" improves results. Basically, prompt it to plan first, then execute. Also, Xcode creates automatic milestones every time an agent makes changes, so you can revert anytime without fear.
Musk's wildest sci-fi dream just became a business strategy with infinite revenue potential.
The biggest private merger ever creates a company worth more than most countries' GDP, merging rockets and AI into one entity
Space data centers are the actual plan: Satellites with compute power that need replacing every 5 years (hello, guaranteed SpaceX launch contracts forever)
xAI burns $1B/month while SpaceX gets 80% of revenue from launching its own Starlink satellites, so this merger solves cash flow for both
Here's the deal. Musk claims Earth-based AI data centers can't scale without destroying the planet, so he's literally taking compute to space. Every satellite has a 5-year lifespan per FCC rules, meaning SpaceX will have a never-ending stream of launches to support xAI's infrastructure. It's a self-sustaining revenue loop between two companies owned by the same person.
⚠️ Why this matters: This isn't just vertical integration, it's Musk creating his own closed-loop economy in orbit. While OpenAI and Google fight over data center power consumption on Earth, xAI could leapfrog everyone with orbital compute that doesn't tap into electrical grids.
Also, SpaceX might IPO in June, which would make this public before most people realize what just happened.
Reality check: Space data centers sound cool, but xAI's Grok chatbot just got caught making child abuse imagery because Musk loosened content restrictions to compete faster. When you're burning a billion dollars monthly, shortcuts happen.
