    Google's new Genie builds a talking, playable world from a typed sentence

    In January Google's Genie tool wiped nearly a quarter off the share price of Unity, the game-engine company, on fears that AI would soon make games. Yesterday Google DeepMind showed Genie 4 to testers. Type a sentence and it builds a lifelike world you can walk through, with sound and characters that talk back, and you can change the weather mid-scene. Google pitches it for training robots and sketching films before anyone pays for a set. DeepMind admits objects still wander or change shape, and its own engineer calls it early days. As a demo it is the wildest thing I have seen this autumn; as a product, give it a year. Watch the video.

    Oracle will rent out Google's AI chips, and OpenAI is reportedly next

    For a decade Google built its own AI chips and kept them for itself, while the rest of us queued at Nvidia. Yesterday Oracle, the business-software giant, said it will rent out Google's chips from next year, a first outside Google. Overnight the news site The Information reported that OpenAI plans to buy the chips too. Bloomberg reports the same; nobody will comment and no terms are known. Google claims its chips do the same work for less electricity, a claim now tested in other people's data centres. Nvidia's shares rose anyway. If you rent AI by the hour you now have a second supplier, and a second name on the table beats any discount.

    Anthropic buys a drug company with one employee and eleven laboratories on contract

    The smallest drug company I know of belongs to an AI company. Anthropic, the maker of the Claude chatbot, said yesterday it had bought Mithril Medicine, a biotech firm with one employee. Its founder used Claude to run the paperwork and coordinate experiments at eleven outside laboratories. In under eighteen months he took a treatment for a rare childhood muscle disease to promising results in mice. Anthropic now wants to make medicines itself. Everything is early and self-reported, and Anthropic's own report lists Claude mistakes that reached the labs. One person, one AI and a list of suppliers now counts as a drug company, and pharma will not be the last industry to find out.

    Norway's media take Meta to court over the small print that lets its AI read everything on your website

    Meta's rewritten small print behind every business page on Facebook and Instagram, which I covered on Monday, went to court yesterday. Ten Norwegian media houses asked an Oslo court to stop the new terms before they bite on 20 November. They say the terms let Meta harvest every article, photo and video from a linked website to build AI products that compete with them, and the only way out is to delete the account. Meta says publishers keep control through a standard do-not-copy setting and promises to explain what changes. That morning Denmark's media associations issued joint demands of their own to the big AI companies. The terms bind every business account, yours included.

    Chinese carmaker Xpeng wins permission to run driverless taxis across a whole city

    The first driverless taxi you ride may well be Chinese. On Monday Xpeng, the Chinese electric-car maker which also sells in Denmark, won a trial permit to run driverless taxis across all of Guangzhou. The city has more people than Denmark and Sweden combined. Rides open gradually by invitation, and Xpeng has not said how many cars, whether riders pay, or whether a safety officer sits up front. Also on Monday, Volkswagen's Chinese joint venture got a licence to test hands-free cars on public roads. Chinese companies already run paying driverless taxis in more cities than American ones, by the International Energy Agency's count. Xpeng says it is talking to European ride-hailing platforms.
