Midjourney’s Hollywood Fight Now Turns on Studios’ Own AI Use
Midjourney is asking a federal judge to let it dig deeper into how Disney, Universal, and Warner Bros. Discovery use generative AI internally. The discovery fight could shape how courts treat copyright, fair use, and AI governance evidence in one of the entertainment industry’s biggest cases against an AI image platform.
Bending Spoons IPO Turns Old Internet Brands Into an AI Acquisition Machine
Bending Spoons raised nearly $954 million for the company in its Nasdaq IPO and now owns a public-market portfolio that includes AOL, Vimeo, Eventbrite, Evernote, WeTransfer, and Brightcove.

JadePuffer Shows Agentic Ransomware Has Moved From Theory to Logs
Sysdig says JadePuffer is the first documented ransomware operation driven end to end by an AI agent. The intrusion used a known Langflow flaw, harvested cloud and API secrets, pivoted into Nacos, and left defenders with a new problem: autonomous attack behavior that is fast, adaptive, and strangely detectable.
Anthropic Fable 5 Returns as AI Export Controls Become a Release Test
Anthropic has restored global access to Claude Fable 5 after U.S. export controls forced an 18-day shutdown. The rollback shows how frontier AI releases are moving toward security classifiers, government review, and trusted-access programs rather than ordinary software launches.
UN AI Report Turns Governance Into a Compute and Capacity Test
The UN’s first global scientific AI assessment warns that governance is now tied to compute access, local expertise, language coverage, and real-world model evaluation. The report arrives before the July 6-7 Global Dialogue on AI Governance in Geneva.
Micron’s Hiroshima HBM Expansion Shows AI Memory Is the Next Supply Fight
Micron has broken ground on a roughly $9.3 billion Hiroshima expansion that will produce high-bandwidth memory for AI processors, with shipments expected around summer 2028. The timing shows why memory, not just GPUs, has become a strategic bottleneck for AI infrastructure buyers.
Gemini Omni Flash Makes AI Video Editing an API Workflow
Google has opened Gemini Omni Flash to developers through Google AI Studio, the Gemini API, and Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. The preview turns AI video generation into a multi-turn workflow, but teams should pay close attention to duration, region, reference-video, and provenance limits before building on it.
Microsoft’s Aion Leak Shows the Shape of an Agent-First Windows Future
A leaked Microsoft Aion prototype does not mean a Copilot-first Windows replacement is about to ship. It does show how Microsoft is testing a future where agents, local models, Windows 365, and Project Solara-style devices become part of the same computing layer.
Fake Perplexity Chrome Extension Turned Search Into a Tracking Channel
Microsoft says a malicious Chromium extension spoofed Perplexity AI, routed address-bar searches through a lookalike domain, and captured search suggestions before sending users to legitimate results. The case is a useful warning for anyone installing AI-branded browser tools.
SoftBank SB Neo Turns AI Cloud Capacity Into a 10-Gigawatt Race
SoftBank has formed SB Neo, a U.S.-based neocloud company meant to supply AI chips and cloud services to model developers and large enterprises. The plan, tied to SoftBank's 10-gigawatt AI infrastructure target by 2030, shows how AI compute is shifting from scarce GPU rental toward vertically managed infrastructure businesses built around power, chips, networking, and operations.
