Satellites and AI used to track UK hedgehogs in bid to slow decline

BBC News

Researchers at the University of Cambridge are using satellite data and AI in an effort to slow the decline in Britain's hedgehog population. Using an AI tool called Tessera, which analyses detailed images of the UK gathered from space, experts can precisely determine locations of hedgehog habitats - and where these are disappearing. The resulting maps capture landscapes in minute detail, including down to individual hedgerows, while AI can accurately predict hedgehog-friendly places obscured by cloud cover. Those behind the project hope it will help to shed light not just on where hedgehogs live across the UK, but barriers preventing them from finding food and mates. The researchers say Tessera's outputs can be used to track the impact of new housing developments and other environmental changes on landscapes that could affect hedgehogs over time.

Jury hands victory to Sam Altman and OpenAI in battle with Elon Musk

The Guardian

The federal jury in Oakland, California, found Altman, OpenAI and its president, Greg Brockman, not liable for Elon Musk's claims that they unjustly enriched themselves and broke a founding contract made with Musk when founding the startup. The verdict, delivered after less than two hours of deliberation, is a stark rebuke of Musk and his lawyer's claims that Altman "stole a charity" through his leadership of OpenAI . It also provides the AI firm with a clear path ahead to pursue going public later this year at about a $1tn valuation . The jury's finding is a non-binding, advisory verdict that left Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers with ultimate power to issue her own ruling in the case. Gonzalez Rogers immediately said that she would agree with the jury's decision and dismissed Musk's claims.


Disney faces a class action lawsuit over facial recognition tech

Engadget

The complaint says park visitors don't get sufficient notice they're being scanned. Disney is being sued over use of facial recognition technology at its amusement parks. The class action lawsuit alleges that the entertainment brand does not adequately inform guests that it scans people's faces at the entrances to Disneyland and California Adventure. The complaint is seeking at least $5 million on behalf of park visitors. Guests should be able to expressly opt in to this type of sensitive facial recognition technology with written consent -- the onus of privacy rights should not be on the victim, writes Blake Yagman, a lawyer for the proposed class of visitors, in the complaint.


Elon Musk just lost another lawsuit. Will he keep fighting?

BBC News

Elon Musk just lost another lawsuit. Elon Musk, the world's richest man, has not been winning in court lately. His loss on Monday in his lawsuit against OpenAI and its co-founder Sam Altman is the latest in a string of legal defeats or settlements. Late last year he agreed to settle with former Twitter executives and thousands of former employees of the social platform, which he has renamed X, after fighting for years to pay them nothing. Then in March, he lost a case brought against him by investors of Twitter, who claimed they were misled by public statements he made during the takeover.

Google just made big changes to Gemini usage limits

PCWorld

Google is switching Gemini from fixed daily request limits to a compute-based system that considers prompt complexity, features used, and chat length. PCWorld reports this change reflects increasing demands from advanced agentic AI features, with limits refreshing every five hours under a weekly cap. Paid plans offer significantly higher usage allowances, with Ultra providing 20x standard limits compared to free tier access. Google is changing how it calculates your weekly Gemini usage limits, and it's another reflection of how powerful agentic AI features have broken flat-rate consumer AI plans. As of now, Google says it's switching to "compute-based" usage rather than a fixed number of requests per day.

I was never one of those lunatics who went with the no-batting glove look. I respect folks who do it, but I'm not built for that. I needed my batting gloves like I needed air to breathe, and I've always thought I'd be a better golfer if I just sacked up and put on the extra glove.
