Midjourney filed a motion asking a federal judge to force Disney, Universal, and Warner Bros. to reveal how they use AI internally, part of the studios' ongoing copyright lawsuit over AI-generated characters like Bart Simpson.

A magistrate judge in June limited discovery to the studios' consumer-facing AI. Midjourney wants that overturned, seeking their business plans, training datasets, model weights, and even boardroom AI presentations to support its fair use defense.

Midjourney's logic: if studios train AI on copyrighted work for storyboards, it proves an industry custom. The studios' attorney calls it a fishing expedition, which raises the question of what the net might catch.

A teardown of Google Maps for Android uncovered code for "Ask Maps to order food," a Gemini-powered feature that lets you say what you're craving and have the app place the order while you drive.

This builds on Ask Maps, the Gemini assistant Google launched this spring for restaurant recommendations. Six weeks ago Google's blog confirmed food ordering was coming, so the code backs up an existing public commitment.

Google still hasn't set a launch date, and it's unclear whether Maps will partner with DoorDash and Uber Eats or compete with them. Handing an AI your linked credit card also makes security folks nervous.

Meta ran a secret program called Cannes that paid hundreds of contractors to pose as under-18 users and hit ChatGPT, Gemini, and Character AI with prompts about suicide, drugs, and eating disorders, Wired reports.

The contractor Covalen managed the work, which stayed active into April 2026. One round in August 2025 pushed over 45,000 prompts through rival bots. The three companies never knew, and their terms forbid this testing.

Meta calls this industry-standard safety benchmarking and says it doesn't train its models on the results. Critics point out that real safety work rarely means secretly posing as children against rivals who never agreed.

Apple's revamped Siri AI arrives with iOS 27 this fall, but only Apple Intelligence devices get it: iPhone 15 Pro and newer, Apple silicon Macs, iPads, and the 2024 iPad mini. Older iPhones miss out.

Siri AI runs on Apple's on-device Foundation Models and hands complex tasks to secure cloud servers. Reports say a custom Google Gemini model powers it too. The top features, like expressive voices, need 12GB RAM.

Apple has promised a smarter Siri for two years, so the payoff is real. The catch: you need recent hardware, and users in the EU and China face delays while Apple sorts out regulations.

NASA launched a rescue mission Friday for its Swift Observatory, a 2004 telescope that solar storms have dragged toward Earth. A startup's robotic spacecraft, LINK, will grab Swift and boost it back to safety.

Swift has no thrusters and now circles at 224 miles, dropping fast. NASA hired Katalyst Space Technologies to build LINK in nine months for $30 million, racing an October deadline before Swift falls too low.

If LINK pulls it off, it becomes the first private spacecraft to grab a government satellite never built to be caught. NASA is already eyeing the same trick to save the aging Hubble telescope.
