Similar to the lawsuits filed by Arizona, West Virginia, Iowa, and several others, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton accuses OpenAI of misleading users about the safety of ChatGPT, allegedly exposing children and other users to a “litany of harms” that’s “driven by the company’s insatiable quest to win the AI arms race and amass large fortunes.” [Link: Texas AG Sues OpenAI, Altman for Negative Effects on Consumers | https://news.bloomberglaw.com/privacy-and-data-security/texas-ag-sues-openai-altman-for-negative-effects-on-consumers | Bloomberg Law]

Gotta scroll fast.

A new accelerated scrolling feature coming to Windows PCs with touchpads will allow you to scroll through long documents and webpages faster, Windows design head Marcus Ash announced on X. Microsoft is also adding the ability to continuously scroll through a page by swiping the edge of your touchpad, along with support for single-finger scrolling.

I’m beginning to think the next Xbox will be sold like a cell phone.

Late yesterday, I laid out five ways Microsoft can try to make lemonade out of RAMageddon, but one feels likelier to me now readers have weighed in: the cell phone subsidy model. In the K-shaped economy, wealthier buyers could buy an “unlocked” Xbox, but most could get it “free” with 36-month (or longer!) subscription. But I also think many will reject that and stick with what they already have. [Link: The next-gen Xbox won’t cost you $1,800. It can’t.

Even this quadruped robot can solve a Rubik’s Cube faster than I can.

Researchers from ETH Zürich’s Robotic Systems Lab used reinforcement learning through simulations and “teacher-student distillation” to teach a quadruped robot how to independently solve an oversized Rubik’s Cube. The feat is even more impressive given the bot has to use its stubby legs and feet to reorient the cube and rotate its sides. [Media: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFdRsFiE68c]

Proton is hosting a map of more than 300,000 Flock cams.

The map comes from security researcher Joshua Michael, who is facing a trademark complaint from Flock after he published an interactive map of automated license plate readers (ALPRs) using information from a data leak. Proton is now hosting the map, but notes that it’s a snapshot from December 2025, so “devices installed or removed since then won’t be reflected.” [Link: Flock camera map: Find the Flock cameras watching you | https://proton.me/flock-camera-map | Proton]
