Europe is making a serious push to compete in the new space race. The continent has unveiled what's being positioned as a direct rival to SpaceX's Starship, signaling that American dominance in heavy-lift reusable rocketry may not go unchallenged for long. The geopolitical stakes here are as significant as the engineering ones.
Meanwhile, one fed-up LinkedIn user has turned AI against itself in a quietly brilliant act of digital self-defense. By hiding a prompt injection inside their bio, they've been manipulating recruiter bots into responding in Olde English prose and addressing them as "My Lord." It's absurd, yes, but it also exposes just how blindly these automated systems operate.
And on a note of deliberate caution, Domo's chief design officer is asking a question more people probably should be asking — why aren't we more frustrated with how aggressively AI has been pushed into our lives? Chris Willis argues the anxiety so many people feel isn't incidental. It's the cost of a technology deployed faster than most of us ever consented to.
