Engadget

OpenAI is planning to cut off Cursor's access from its models, following the AI coding assistant's acquisition by SpaceXAI. In a post on its website, the company said it's giving Cursor users as much time as it could based on its contract. It intends to pull its models from the service on November 12, 2026, but it said that Cursor could choose an earlier termination date. The company explained that it's making this choice because it can't be confident that SpaceX will use its technology within its terms of services, based on its "experience with Elon Musk's companies violating contracts." OpenAI and Musk have a long and troubled history, with the SpaceXAI chief being one of the company's earliest investors.

WIRED

The longtime far-right operator and troll, a UK citizen, is being held in a detention center about 200 miles from New Orleans. Milo Yiannopoulos, a British national known for his near-constant reinventions as a vizier within far-right American politics for more than a decade, has been detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Louisiana, according to the department's records. While it's not clear which detention facility Yiannopoulos is currently being held in, the ICE directory instructs any family or legal representatives to contact the Enforcement and Removal Office in Alexandria, Louisiana, a processing center for the central part of the state, about 200 miles from New Orleans. ICE and the Department of Homeland Security did not immediately comment on the matter or indicate plans to deport Yiannopoulos. TMZ first broke the news of Yiannopoulos' detention.

WIRED

Mice, a Caved-In Ceiling, and Cloudy Water: The GSA's New Office Is Falling Apart "Do we need to look at the ceiling before going to the bathroom? Can we actually trust the water is safe to drink?" asks one GSA worker. About 1,600 federal employees who work at the General Services Administration have been forced to relocate from their current office on F Street in Washington DC to the Theodore Roosevelt Federal Building, roughly two blocks away. Workers say the new building, which also houses staff from the Office of Personnel Management has mice, a caved-in bathroom ceiling, and drinking water that needs to be run for 5-10 seconds before it is clear. The federal workforce has been rocked by changes made by Elon Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) since January 2025.
