Summary: Right, so October 13th and we've got Open AI sending subpoenas to tiny nonprofits like Encode (literally 3 people) who were advocating for California's SB 1047 transparency bill. Nathan Calvin got served at his home demanding private communications with legislators and former OpenAI employees, all under the guise of their Elon Musk lawsuit. Even Joshua Achiam, OpenAI's head of mission alignment, has publicly said "this doesn't seem great", which is quite the understatement when you're potentially risking your career to call out your own employer.
Beyond that drama, we've got the State of AI Report 2025 out, which is always a solid read. China's closing the gap with DeepSeek and others, reasoning models have defined the year, and apparently 44% of US businesses now pay for AI tools—up from 5% in 2023. Also having a think about whether plumbers are actually safe from AI, because 40% are already using it daily for diagnostics and knowledge work. The EU's announced a €1.1 billion AI plan which is laughably insufficient when you consider Mistral alone just raised €1.7 billion last month. And ChatGPT's testing in-app shopping and payments in India, plus rolling out direct messaging features.
