  • Microsoft AI chief says company won't build erotica AI services, distancing from OpenAI
    October 23, 2025, 6:52 PM EDT. Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman says the company won't provide simulated erotica or erotica-focused AI services, distancing Microsoft from its longtime partner OpenAI. Speaking at the Paley International Council Summit in Menlo Park, he warned that such models could mislead users, calling for conscious decisions to avoid sexbot erotica. The comments arrive after OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said verified adults could use ChatGPT for erotica, sparking debate about tech ethics. The move comes as Microsoft deepens its Copilot strategy, rolling out new features like an AI companion Mico. Suleyman has urged building AI for people, not as a replacement for humanity, a stance echoed in his August essay and contrasts with rivals pursuing more provocative avatars.

  • Microsoft Edge's Copilot Mode adds more AI features like Actions and Journeys
    October 23, 2025, 6:38 PM EDT. Microsoft is expanding Edge with Copilot Mode, turning Copilot into a web-facing assistant in a new tab chat window for questions, searches, or URLs. It ties AI responses to Edge results, can summarize across all open tabs, and even compare products. A new agentic Copilot Actions feature can unsubscribe from marketing emails or book a reservation, though Microsoft warns it's for research and may misfire. Preview-style Journeys groups your browsing history into topics and suggests what to search next. You enable Copilot Mode by toggling a switch in Edge (and enable Actions and Journeys in Preview in the US). As with other AI tools, it may make mistakes, so use it with caution.

  • Iridium: SpaceX-EchoStar Spectrum Deal Disrupts Satellite Market, Forcing a Pivot
    October 23, 2025, 5:50 PM EDT. Industry watchers say the SpaceX-EchoStar spectrum deal valued at about $17 billion could upend the traditional satellite market, pressuring incumbents and networks to pivot. Iridium Communications argues the agreement will disrupt the status quo, forcing strategic shifts across satellite spectrum, capacity and partnerships. Meanwhile, Apple partner Globalstar is reportedly weighing a sale around $10 billion, adding fuel to a potential consolidation wave. The deal could accelerate moves toward mega-constellations, more flexible spectrum sharing, and new service models for maritime, aviation, and remote connectivity. Analysts say Iridium's stance could be seen as a call for more resilient business models and faster investment in next-gen telemetry, IoT, and broadband via satellite. Expect continued scrutiny of regulatory approvals and who controls critical spectrum in an evolving space economy.
