Apple leaked its own camera AirPods, and Siri gets eyes
Apple leaked its own product. MacRumors found a finished promotional video in the last test build of macOS: a man wearing AirPods asks Siri to remember the book in his hands, and Siri tells him his world is now saveable. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says the cameras cannot take photos or video and only feed low-resolution images to Siri, with a light that comes on when anything goes to the cloud. We have heard the same promise from Meta and Snap. These are expected in September. The difference this time is that AirPods are already in everyone's ears and look like nothing, so the consent question moves from the wearer to everyone standing nearby.

Google bought a dead airline's emails to train its AI
Yesterday it was Amazon buying old books by the pallet to cut up and scan. Today Google won a bankruptcy auction for the insides of a dead airline: 100 million emails and 500 million internal chat messages from Spirit Airlines, for $10 million. That is what human-written text is now worth. The court says an independent third party will strip out anything identifying a person, and the flight attendants' union is objecting anyway, calling it data that had no business being sold. If your company ever goes under, its internal correspondence goes on the block alongside the aircraft.

Pennsylvania hands local communities a veto over AI data centres
The data centre backlash just grew teeth. Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro signed an order on Tuesday handing towns a veto: no local approval, no state permit, developers bring their own power, and no more confidentiality agreements with the towns. He calls it the strictest set of rules in the country, and you should look at who is saying it. Last year he was the public face of Amazon's $20 billion data centre investment in his own state. Today 76% of Pennsylvania voters say they do not want one near them. It rhymes with the story above: permission that was never asked for is now being demanded.

ChatGPT now guesses whether you are a child
If you have a teenager, ChatGPT changed for them this week. OpenAI switched on a separate version for under-18s: no romantic language, no terms of endearment, firmer instructions never to imply it has feelings, plus parental controls and quiet hours. Anyone the system judges to be a minor is moved there automatically, whether they gave their age or the software guessed it from how they use ChatGPT. That guess is the whole design. OpenAI has published no figure on how accurate it is, and until it does, this is a promise rather than a control.

US agencies get three days to patch the software AI runs on
Somewhere in your AI setup there is free software nobody deliberately chose. American federal agencies got three days to fix a flaw in one such piece, Ray, which spreads AI work across big clusters of machines at Uber, Amazon and OpenAI. The deadline is tomorrow. The US cyber security agency only sets a deadline that short when attackers are already inside. It lets them run their own commands on the cluster, reached through the browser of anyone who visits the wrong page. It is the second Ray flaw under attack within a year. That is today's pattern in one line: the thing was already load-bearing before anyone checked it.
