    Google Sent AI to Space

    Google ran an AI model on a TPU orbiting Earth, and it answered. Here’s the AI news from October 30, 2026: Google’s Project Suncatcher satellite runs Gemma 4 on a data center TPU in orbit and sends an answer back to EarthOpenAI, Google, Microsoft and Anthropic back a proposed standard that lets websites tell AI bots whether they can scrape and train on their contentOpenAI launches GPT-6 Rosalind Research, a model for life sciences open only to approved research organizationsSenseNova releases an open 9B model that reuses its own layers to think deeper without adding more parametersS&P changes Meta’s credit outlook to negative over its huge AI spendingIntel stock drops about 30% after a weak forecast and drags other chip stocks down with itFoxconn is talking with OpenAI about working together more and already has over 10 humanoid robots in its Texas factoriesXiaomi’s tiny OCR model reads and extracts data from documents and plugs straight into AI agentsThe takeaway: AI bots are already reading your website. Decide which of them can use your content, and make sure the information you want customers to find is clear enough for AI assistants to pick up. Hosted by the founder of PlsAutomate.

    An AI Agent Inside the Pentagon

    A defense contractor reportedly gave a personal AI coding agent admin access to a sensitive Pentagon system, and nobody noticed for two months. Here’s the AI news from October 29, 2026: WIRED reports that an Accenture contractor connected a personal Claude Code agent to a Department of Defense production system. The agent may have sent passwords and network details to an outside website. Accenture says the allegations are without merit.Mistral releases the weights of Large 4, a trillion-parameter open model with a 1 million token context window that is strong at finding and patching security flawsServal raises $150M at a $3B valuation to replace old IT workflow software with AI agentsOpenAI-backed Thrive Holdings agrees to buy ADT in a $15.3B deal and plans to run it with AIMicrosoft prepares a bond sale of about $25B to fund AI infrastructureGoogle’s TPU sales boost cloud revenue but put pressure on its cash flowHugging Face launches Project ProtoStar to make public research data easier for AI to useA Washington Post investigation asks why AI leaders who called for slowing down kept speeding upThe takeaway: Never give an AI agent more access than its task needs. Use limited, short-lived credentials and control what it can connect to, and keep a human approval step before anything goes live. Hosted by the founder of PlsAutomate. We build AI agents with limited access, controlled connections and a full log of every action, so they never get the keys to everything. plsautomate.com

    Trump Wants to Ban the Word “AI”

    Trump wants to replace the term “AI” with “super intelligence”. The name may change, but the work stays the same. Here’s the AI news from October 27, 2026: Trump says he wants to drop “artificial intelligence” from official documents and use “super intelligence” insteadAi2 finds that AI judges of scientific novelty can swing more than 50 points in accuracy when a few words in the prompt changeGoogle DeepMind unveils Genie 4, which generates interactive worlds with sound that you can change as you goLiquid AI releases LFM3, open models small enough to run locally. The 1.7B text model handles 256K tokens and agent tasks.Oracle and OpenAI bring ChatGPT and Codex into Oracle apps and launch a free-to-start AI bundle for small businessesOracle Cloud will offer Google TPUs, NVIDIA Vera Rubin and Cerebras chipsGitHub Copilot now lets automated services sign in as the organization instead of a personNVIDIA invests $3B in MetaMachenta raises $40M for robots that learn a task from a single demonstrationThe takeaway: Call it AI or SI, the label doesn’t change the results. What matters is whether it saves time and money in your business, and that small changes, even a few words in a prompt, can break it if you don’t test. Hosted by the founder of PlsAutomate.
