Hand-picked news:
⏳ New EU rules target infinite scrolling and screen time ↗️LINK
The European Commission has told TikTok to change core design features under the Digital Services Act, including disabling infinite scrolling, adding strict screen time breaks, and adjusting its recommendation systems over concerns about addictiveness.
This marks the first time the EU has formally treated “addictive design” as an enforceable systemic risk, potentially setting a legal standard that could apply to other platforms like Facebook and Instagram.
If TikTok fails to address the findings, it could face fines of up to 6% of global annual revenue, signaling a broader push to regulate social media business models built around engagement and advertising.
🤝 OpenAI hires creator of viral AI assistant OpenClaw ↗️LINK
Peter Steinberger, founder of the viral personal AI assistant OpenClaw, has joined OpenAI to help build its next generation of personal AI agents.
OpenClaw, previously known as Clawdbot and later Moltbot, gained popularity for automating everyday tasks and building a strong open-source following.
Steinberger said joining OpenAI is the fastest way to scale the vision, with OpenClaw transitioning to a foundation model that remains open source and sponsored by OpenAI.
🩺 Google’s AI health disclaimers found buried below results ↗️LINK
The Guardian found that Google’s AI Overviews show medical disclaimers only after users click “Show more” and scroll past the health advice, with warnings placed at the bottom in smaller, lighter text.
Critics say this design prioritizes speed and user experience over safety, as people seeking medical information may trust the AI summary at the top of results without ever seeing the cautionary note.
Health charities are urging Google to place disclaimers prominently before AI-generated advice, warning that buried notices could create false reassurance and real-world risks.
🔬 GPT-5.2 makes original physics breakthrough ↗️LINK
OpenAI published a research preprint claiming GPT-5.2 independently identified an error in a previously accepted particle physics result, proposed a new formula, and formally proved it correct.
A specialized research version of the model generated the mathematical proof autonomously in about 12 hours, with physicists from Harvard, Cambridge, and Princeton verifying the work.
The achievement is being described as AI’s first original contribution to theoretical physics, intensifying debate over whether advanced models can generate truly novel scientific insights.
💾 WD hard drive supply is already sold out for 2026 ↗️LINK
Western Digital’s CEO said the company is essentially sold out of its storage capacity for 2026, with most supply allocated to its top seven enterprise customers and some deals already extending into 2027 and 2028.
Surging demand from AI companies has shifted the company’s revenue mix, with consumer sales now making up just 5%, reducing incentives to prioritize everyday buyers.
The ongoing AI hardware boom is straining supply chains across memory and storage markets, likely leading to continued shortages and higher prices for consumers.
