Germany: court rules AI Overviews are Google's own words — liability for false claims
The Munich Regional Court issued an injunction barring Google from spreading false claims about two publishers via AI Overviews. The court classified AI-generated summaries as Google's own content, rejecting the search engine liability analogy.

Token-based AI billing: how it works and the Tokenpocalypse
From June 1, 2026, GitHub Copilot charges by token consumption rather than a flat fee, and Uber burned through its annual AI budget in four months. We explain what token-based billing is, how it turns prompts into cost, and why the industry calls this shift the Tokenpocalypse.

GUARD Act: US Bill to Ban Chinese Robots Could Cripple AI Research
The bipartisan GUARD Act, introduced June 3, 2026, would block imports of Chinese humanoid and quadruped robots. The problem: the US has no ready hardware alternative for research labs.

LLMs learn false claims — even when training data labels them "false"
New research on "Negation Neglect" shows that language models absorb false claims from training data even when those same data explicitly warn that the claims are untrue. The effect proved nearly as strong as fine-tuning without any warnings at all.

Do Language Models Need Sleep? Offline Recurrence and Memory Consolidation
Researchers from CMU and the University of Maryland propose "LLM sleep" — a phase where the model repeatedly processes context and writes it into fast weights before clearing its attention cache. Longer sleep improves reasoning over evicted context without increasing response latency.
