Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily read on the stories shaping our digital world.
SpaceX AI, the merged entity born from Elon Musk's artificial intelligence and aerospace ambitions, is showing early signs of strain. More than fifty employees have reportedly walked out since February, with observers pointing to burnout, leadership friction, and the possibility that recent liquidity events simply removed the financial incentive to stay. When the money vests, loyalty often follows it out the door.
From internal turbulence to external threat, security researchers at a startup called Calif are claiming they used a preview version of Anthropic's Claude Mythos AI to help construct a kernel-level exploit targeting Apple's Mac M five. That's a significant claim, because kernel exploits represent deep access to a machine's core. It raises uncomfortable questions about how AI tools can accelerate offensive security work just as readily as defensive.
And in Utah, a data center project has received approval that is almost hard to process at human scale. The facility would stretch across an area twice the size of Manhattan and consume roughly nine gigawatts of power, which is more electricity than the entire state of Utah currently uses. It's a stark illustration of the physical cost hiding behind every AI query we make.
