Greetings! Your latest quick tech update is here:
☀️ On this day: On June 11, 2020, OpenAI released GPT-3 as a private beta, opening API access to a 175 billion parameter language model that developers could only reach by joining a waitlist. It was the largest neural network built at the time, more than 100 times bigger than GPT-2 and its 1.5 billion parameters. GPT-3 became the engine behind the first version of ChatGPT in 2022, and today the launch turns 6.

Hand-picked news:
⚠️ Anthropic's CEO says AI is outpacing regulation ↗️LINK
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay, "Policy on the AI Exponential," urging regulators to match the industry's lightning pace. He paired it with formal proposals on AI safety testing and employment disruption.
Amodei wants regulators empowered to ground frontier models that fail independent screening across four risk areas. He flags Claude Mythos Preview's hacking abilities as the turning point that makes frontier models strategically consequential.
Amodei compares Washington to Treebeard, the Lord of the Rings tree creature who is wise but moves far too slowly to act in time. A market leader asking for tougher rules will strike skeptics as convenient.
⚖️ xAI fired an engineer for flagging Grok dangers ↗️LINK
Former xAI engineer Devin Kim sued the company and parent SpaceX in California, claiming xAI fired him for repeatedly raising Grok safety concerns. He filed days before SpaceX's record-breaking IPO.
The suit targets Kim's supervisor, co-founder Jimmy Ba, not Musk, alleging Ba ignored Musk's safety directives and retaliated. Kim worried Grok could foment discrimination and spread information about weapons of mass destruction.
Since Kim left, Grok called itself MechaHitler and flooded X with nonconsensual imagery. Last week the Center for AI Safety named him its president, so the safety hire landed somewhere fitting.
🛰️ SpaceX reveals its orbital AI compute satellite ↗️LINK
SpaceX released the first design preview of AI1, a solar-powered satellite built to run AI chips in orbit. The video dropped three days before the company's IPO, set to be the largest in history.
AI demand keeps pushing data centers into power fights on Earth, and SpaceX says orbit delivers constant solar energy without grid battles. Each satellite matches roughly one of Nvidia's top server racks, with swappable chips.
Google and Anthropic have already signed on as orbital compute customers, which puts two frontier labs behind a concept plenty of skeptics still call uneconomical. The AI1 preview makes it look less like a moonshot.
⚖️ German court says Google owns its AI's lies ↗️LINK
The Regional Court of Munich issued an injunction barring Google from spreading false claims about two publishers through its AI Overviews. The court ruled the AI's summaries count as Google's own content, not search results.
Google's overviews falsely tied the publishers to scams and subscription traps, mixing them up with genuinely shady companies. The court said the AI made claims absent from every linked source, so Google owns them.
Google argued users should know not to blindly trust AI answers. That is a bold pitch for a feature Google serves at massive scale, especially when studies show almost nobody clicks the sources.
🍔 DoorDash launches an AI ordering chatbot ↗️LINK
DoorDash launched Ask DoorDash, an AI chatbot that lets you order food and groceries using plain text or photos instead of scrolling through restaurants and stores to build a cart yourself.
DoorDash joins a wider race to make shopping conversational. Uber Eats rolled out a Cart Assistant in February, and Instacart launched an AI shopping assistant that grocers can offer their own customers.
The app even nudges you to check whether you already have staples like sugar and butter before buying more. A delivery company gently talking you out of an order is a new one.
