📰 News China published the world's first law targeting AI companions and emotional agents on April 10, 2026. It bans virtual intimate relationships for minors, outlaws emotional manipulation, and restricts using your chat data to train models. The US response? Trump postponed his own AI executive order the same week.
📰 News OpenAI's IPO filing lands. Anthropic turns its first profit. SpaceX reveals an eye-watering compute deal. And Trump delayed the AI executive order.
📰 News The EU's AI Act omnibus deal delays compliance deadlines for high-risk systems, cuts red tape for small firms, and bans AI nudifier apps outright. One hand giveth, the other taketh away.
📰 News Jensen Huang says Nvidia's share of China's advanced AI chip market has hit zero. Huawei now holds ~41% and rising. The US export control strategy hasn't contained China's AI — it's built a parallel chip ecosystem.
📰 News A lone developer released Osiris on Reddit — an open-source global intelligence dashboard that tracks 10,000+ aircraft, 2,000+ satellites, 1,400+ CCTV cameras, and more, with built-in port scanning and DNS tools baked right into a 3D globe interface.
📰 News An open-source Stremio addon called Sootio is using local LLMs to turn torrent piracy into a Netflix-grade experience — just as Real-Debrid cracks down on cached content.
