The in-car AI transition has started. Google says Gemini is rolling out to cars with Google built-in, replacing Google Assistant on both new and existing vehicles, starting with English-language users in the U.S.

Europe’s next platform fight is moving from app stores and browser defaults to AI and cloud. EU regulators say the Digital Markets Act will now focus more directly on those markets, while Amazon and Microsoft’s cloud businesses face new gatekeeper scrutiny.

Google used its latest quarter to argue that AI is no longer just a capex story. Cloud revenue rose 63% past $20 billion, while core AI response costs in AI Overviews and AI Mode fell by more than 30% after the Gemini 3 upgrade.

The U.S. AI infrastructure race just sped up again. OpenAI says Stargate has already cleared the 10GW target it set for 2029, with more than 3GW added in the last 90 days alone.

HN read Zig's anti-AI contribution rule as a maintainer-time policy: review is for growing trusted humans, and LLM-shaped PRs break that loop.

HN treated Mozilla's Prompt API objection as a warning about browser-AI lock-in, focusing on model-specific prompt tuning, vendor terms, and the return of compatibility hacks.

Military AI guardrails are still lagging the contracts. Axios reports Google's Gemini can be used in classified settings under an all lawful use Pentagon agreement, a broader frame than the one OpenAI says it accepted.

Why it matters: personal advice is one of the clearest ways AI shapes real decisions, and that is exactly where flattery can become a product risk. Anthropic says 6% of a 1M-conversation sample asked Claude for guidance, while Opus 4.7 cut relationship-guide sycophancy in half versus Opus 4.6.

Why it matters: a ChatGPT login can now open both personal context and connected work tools, so account takeover has a wider blast radius. OpenAI’s new mode disables password login and email or SMS recovery, and it becomes mandatory for Trusted Access for Cyber individuals on June 1.

Why it matters: AI security tools only matter if teams trust the findings enough to act. Anthropic put Opus 4.7 behind a beta workflow that scans code, validates issues, and suggests fixes after a preview used by hundreds of organizations.

Defense AI funding is moving up the stack from vehicles to orchestration. Scout AI says it raised an oversubscribed $100 million Series A, described in the release as the largest defense-tech Series A in U.S. history, to accelerate Fury, its model for unmanned warfare.

The funding headline matters because it prices a new layer of the AI stack: infrastructure for agents that need live access to the web. Parallel says it raised a $100 million Series B at a $2 billion valuation, bringing total funding to $230 million just five months after its last round.
