Meta revealed in a Monday court filing that four states, California, Colorado, Kentucky, and New Jersey, are seeking $1.4 trillion in penalties over claims it designed Facebook and Instagram to addict young users.

The states reached that figure by estimating how many young users the apps harmed, then multiplying by statutory fines. A federal judge in Oakland will hear the case at trial in August.

That $1.4 trillion sits right next to Meta's roughly $1.5 trillion market value, which is why the company's lawyers called it unprecedented in the history of consumer protection enforcement.

Elon Musk's xAI officially rebranded to SpaceXAI on Monday, unveiling a new logo that folds the Grok maker into SpaceX. The move completes a merger that began when SpaceX acquired xAI in February.

SpaceX bought xAI in a $1.25 trillion all-stock deal, uniting its rocket, AI, and X businesses. Musk wants to build orbital data centers, arguing Earth alone cannot meet AI's soaring electricity demand.

To feed that vision, SpaceX has already asked the FCC to launch up to a million satellites as space-based compute nodes, roughly 100 times the size of its current Starlink fleet.

Google quietly updated its Search privacy settings so uploaded media, including images, files, audio, and video, now trains its AI models. TechCrunch surfaced the June change on July 6, and every user starts opted in.

The policy covers media you push into Search Services like Lens, Translate, and voice search, spanning Maps, Shopping, Flights, and News. Google Photos stays excluded, so your personal photo library sits outside this sweep.

You can opt out by unchecking "Save Media" under Search Services History. The catch: Google split this into a new setting that stays on, so your old privacy tweaks do not cover it.

DeepSeek is reportedly designing its own AI inference chip, per Reuters, aiming to cut its reliance on Nvidia and Huawei. Sources say the project started about a year ago and remains early-stage.

The chip targets inference, the stage where a trained model answers user queries, rather than training. That work runs cheaper and uses less power, and it is where DeepSeek burns compute at scale daily.

DeepSeek is not alone here. OpenAI just unveiled its own inference chip, so the company that undercut everyone on model cost now wants to squeeze the hardware bill too.

Amazon Leo reached 396 satellites after Thursday's launch, enough to start limited US internet service later this year. It enters a market SpaceX's Starlink has dominated since its first launch in 2019.

The 29-satellite flight was the last of eight on ULA's Atlas V. Amazon now moves to the heavier Vulcan rocket, which carries more satellites per launch, to speed deployment toward a planned fleet topping 7,700.

Starlink already runs roughly 10,000 satellites across more than 150 countries. Amazon's 396 cover only initial latitudes, so Leo begins this race years and thousands of satellites behind its rival.
