Quoting Dean W. Ball
This is a bad state of affairs. Consider, in particular, some industry dynamics: Frontier models are trained at an enormous cost, and a significant fraction of that cost is recouped in the few post-release months that they are broadly available. After that period elapses, the models become sub-frontier, competition emerges, and margins compress. Every week of delay is eating into the narrow window that labs have to make their accounting work. The ongoing AI infrastructure buildout—the one that […]

South Korea plans to train entire military as “drone warriors”
South Korea plans to train every single member of its nearly half-million-strong military to operate drones as easily as they handle personal firearms. That ambitious goal was announced as the South Korean military seeks to maintain a technological edge in its 70-year border standoff with the larger military of a hostile North Korea. The goal is to make drones a “universal combat tool” for all troops by training them to use drones like a “second personal weapon,” said […]

Streaming services’ obnoxiously loud ads become illegal on July 1 in California
On July 1, it will be illegal for streaming platforms to play ads louder than the content being watched in California. As The Hollywood Reporter highlighted this week, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill (SB 576) in October 2025 that prohibits any video streaming service from transmitting the “audio of commercial advertisements louder than the video content the advertisements accompany” in the state. The law brings some parity between streaming services and broadcast, cable, and satellite TV […]

Russian citizens told “switch to Android” after Apple blocks key Russian apps
According to Apple’s 2025 App Store Transparency Report, Russia is the runaway world leader in one category: Demanding that Apple remove apps from its App Store. In 2025, Russia asked that Apple remove 1,213 apps—many of these VPN apps designed to thwart the country’s draconian Internet censorship. (Vietnam was number two, requesting that 335 apps be blocked.) Russia is essentially trying to build a closed, spy-friendly, domestic version of the Internet. While the Russian government loves demanding app […]

In a heavily redacted court filing Thursday, The New York Times proposed to amend its copyright complaint against OpenAI and Microsoft to clarify a claim and allege that Microsoft actively encouraged OpenAI to steal NYT works by building a bespoke supercomputing system ranked among the most powerful in the world. NYT’s motion comes after the Supreme Court sided with Cox Communications in a case where Sony tried and failed to claim that Cox was contributing to music piracy […]
