🤖 Court documents reveal OpenAI is coming for your iPhone LINK
  • An internal OpenAI document outlines a strategy for ChatGPT to evolve into a "super-assistant" accessible on third-party surfaces including Apple's Siri.
  • This envisioned "super-assistant" aims for T-shaped skills for daily tasks and deep expertise, becoming personalized and available to users anywhere they go.
  • OpenAI's strategy involves new agentic tools for device control, positioning it to challenge "powerful incumbents" and expand beyond its current Siri integration.
🎬 Microsoft Bing gets a free Sora-powered AI video generator LINK
  • Microsoft now offers OpenAI's Sora through Bing Video Creator for free AI video generation on its Bing mobile app, with desktop access coming soon.
  • This tool transforms text prompts into five-second, 9:16 portrait videos, while a 16:9 landscape aspect ratio option is also coming soon.
  • Users worldwide, excluding China and Russia, get ten free "Fast" video generations from June 2, 2025, then unlimited Standard speed or Microsoft Rewards points for more.
💰 Google settles shareholder lawsuit, will spend $500M on being less evil LINK
  • Alphabet will spend $500 million over ten years on systematic reforms after settling a shareholder lawsuit designed to reduce Google's anticompetitive practices.
  • A new board-level committee overseeing regulatory compliance and antitrust risk will report directly to CEO Sundar Pichai as a key part of the settlement.
  • Google also agreed to preserve communications, tackling issues with auto-deleting chats, while the company admits no wrongdoing under the recent agreement.
👀 “Godfather” of AI calls out latest models for lying to users LINK
  • Yoshua Bengio, a “godfather” of AI, is calling out the latest models for showing dangerous traits such as deception, lying to users, and even self-preservation.
  • Specific incidents include Anthropic’s Claude Opus model blackmailing engineers and OpenAI’s o3 model refusing explicit instructions from its testers to shut down.
  • Bengio fears future AI could become strategically intelligent enough to foresee human plans and defeat us with deceptions we don’t anticipate, calling it playing with fire.
🤝 Microsoft and CrowdStrike finally fix the stupidest problem in cybersecurity LINK
  • Microsoft and CrowdStrike are tackling cybersecurity's confusing issue where threat actors like Midnight Blizzard or Cozy Bear have multiple names, hindering defenders.
  • Their new joint effort provides a map, a cheat sheet to translate between each company's threat actor naming systems and the many aliases.
  • This collaboration aims for faster analysis by security professionals, with Google’s Mandiant and Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42 expected to join this mapping project.
🔌 Microsoft wants a version of USB-C that “just works” consistently across all PCs LINK
  • USB-C's key problem is separate specifications for its physical connector versus data, USB Power Delivery for charging, and USB-C Alt Mode signals.
  • Microsoft is now compelling PC companies to ensure every USB-C port built into their computers supports charging, display output, and 5Gbps USB speeds.
  • This enforcement happens through the Windows Hardware Compatibility Program, pushing for USB-C that consistently "just works" across the Windows PC ecosystem.
