🤖 Claude's first human firing

At San Francisco's Andon Market, Claude manages a shop with real workers and signed labor contracts. TIME says one employee was fired after 17 late arrivals in 23 shifts.

Even that was not fully autonomous. Claude ignored the issue for a while, then suggested a warning, and only reached dismissal after a leading question from an Andon Labs employee.

The business side looks rough too. Over 5 months, the store balance fell from $100,000 to $61,000, and one worker called working under Claude “nauseating.”

🤖 ChatGPT adds Computer History on Mac

The desktop ChatGPT app for Mac now includes Computer History, which tracks your activity in apps and websites to provide context in future chats. It can recall recent tasks, find documents, and continue work without needing repeated explanations.

Computer History logs events like clicks, text input, and app switching without recording screen, mic, or system audio. Data stays on the Mac for up to 48 hours and users can pause or delete history selectively.

Built on an updated version of Chronicle, the feature uses fewer tokens and offers more privacy controls. It is off by default and rolling out to Pro, Business, and Enterprise users.

📊 Solar storms get a tighter ETA

Using NASA PUNCH images, scientists cut the arrival error for one solar eruption to 30 minutes instead of 5 hours. The mission uses 4 microsatellites, launched in March 2025, to watch the Sun around the clock.

For the 31 May 2025 coronal mass ejection, scientists fed the images into a computer model. After the first 12 hours of observations, it said the storm would hit in 8 hours, and missed by half an hour.

Before PUNCH, instruments saw only one fifth of the path to Earth. Now the whole route is visible, with images updated every 4 minutes, which gives operators more time before radio blackouts, grid trouble, satellite issues and internet disruptions.

🤖 OpenAI separates teens in ChatGPT

Users aged 13-17 will get a separate version with stricter filters for harmful topics.

The bot cannot simulate emotions or provide ready-made homework answers.

Age will be estimated from more than 2,000 behavioral signals, including login time, so documents are not needed. The change follows lawsuits after children received harmful content.

🤖 OpenAI Cuts GPT-5.6 Agent Costs

GPT-5.6 Luna scored 84.04% on BrowseComp, nearly matching GPT-5.5 at 84.36%. Its run cost $1.33 instead of $33.27, making the gap hard to ignore.

For agent work, OpenAI recommends Luna and Terra for data extraction and document search. GPT-5.6 Sol on low reasoning also beat GPT-5.5 on high reasoning in one agent test.

The bigger gain comes from the agent setup. GPT-5.6 can preserve reasoning between steps and compact long histories. On ARC-AGI-3, that lifted Sol from 13.3% to 38.3% while using about 6 times fewer output tokens. The model itself was unchanged.

🔎LandSpace Lands Zhuque-3 Booster

On its second flight, Zhuque-3 sent Hongqing Technology’s Honghu 03 satellite to orbit, then returned its first stage to landing legs on land. The first attempt ended in “anomalous combustion” near the pad.

It was China’s first recovery of an orbital rocket booster to landing legs, and the first landing by a private Chinese company. The 66-metre rocket runs on oxygen and methane, with a reusable booster and disposable upper stage.

China had recorded only 1 earlier landing, by CASC’s Long March 10B, which lowered its stage into a ship-deck net. Falcon 9 first landed in 2015.

📹 Flock’s Cameras Feed an Investigative AI

Flock’s cameras cover 6,000 US communities. Its internal tool, first called Nightshift and now OS Investigate, pulls data from the network to log drivers’ movements.

Wired reports that police can search a mapped area using only a person’s physical description, time, location, and behavior. Results can be linked to police files, 911 call logs, and commercial databases, producing a name, home address, relatives, or friends.

A chatbot accepts plain-text requests, including searches for cars seen most often in an area over the last 14 days. Flock says the product is being tested with selected law-enforcement partners and that its current capabilities may change.

☠️ Voyah EV Completes a Tunnel Loop

In a test tunnel in Wuhan, the Passion S entered a turn at 130 km/h, holding about 16° of steering angle. The resulting centripetal force pushed the electric crossover onto the wall, over the ceiling, then back down.

The electric crossover used its speed and the tunnel’s radius to stay pressed against the concrete.

The margin was tiny. A speed drop would reduce the normal force between the tires and concrete, so engineers had to calculate a narrow operating window for the heavy EV.
