🧠 OpenAI sets up in Norway, but not with the EU

🔍 ChatGPT chats leaked into Google Search

🍎 Apple says it’s all-in on AI, still slow to ship

• A "Spicy Mode" is in testing. Reports suggest this mode could generate short, 6-second videos that include explicit content, including nudity.

• Internal demos raised concerns. xAI engineer Mati Roy shared samples online, including lifelike characters. Some posts were flagged as adult content or later deleted.

• Misuse is already happening. Users have reported incidents where Grok was used to create explicit content using real people’s images without consent.

🇳🇴 OpenAI’s Stargate Norway is not an EU play

• OpenAI is partnering with Nscale and Aker to build its first European data center in Norway

• The facility will run on hydropower and house 100,000 Nvidia GPUs by 2026 [Read Full Story]

• Norway is outside the EU, and the project is not part of the EU’s €30B AI infrastructure plan

• This gives OpenAI sovereign compute access without EU policy entanglements

• Early access will go to Norwegian researchers and startups, not the broader European bloc

• OpenAI ended the experiment after backlash, citing privacy concerns

• This shows how easily shareable tools can leak private data at scale

🍎 Apple says it’s serious about AI. Still playing catch-up

• Tim Cook announced increased AI investments, M&A, and talent reallocation [Read Full Story]

• Apple made 7 small acquisitions this year, none of them game-changing

• Core Siri upgrades delayed to 2026, while minor features roll out this year
