SpaceX's AI Satellite Blitz & 2026 Olympic Hopefuls

SpaceX acquired xAI to create a vertically-integrated innovation engine, the space company announced Monday afternoon. The acquisition aims to combine AI, rockets, space-based internet, direct-to-mobile device communications, and real-time information platforms, according to SpaceX.

SpaceX stated the merger of SpaceX and xAI will scale to "make a sentient sun to understand the Universe and extend the light of consciousness to the stars." The company envisions this integration as the next chapter for both SpaceX and xAI.

The announcement comes as the US Department of Homeland Security is reportedly using AI video generators from Google and Adobe to create content shared with the public, according to MIT Technology Review. This news highlights concerns about AI-generated content and its potential impact on societal trust.

In other news, the 2026 Winter Olympics are approaching, with several athletes poised to make history. Wired highlighted 12 athletes to watch, noting that these individuals are pushing their sports forward. Amber Glenn, a figure skater, is among those expected to make a significant impact.

Meanwhile, in the realm of enterprise AI, shared memory and context are emerging as crucial elements for successful AI agents. According to Asana CPO Arnab Bose, this approach provides detailed history and direct access, enabling AI to function as an active teammate rather than a passive add-on. At a recent VB event in San Francisco, Bose explained that shared memory eliminates the need to repeatedly provide context about business operations when assigning tasks.

In Michigan's Upper Peninsula, the Eagle Mine, the only active nickel mine in the US, is testing a new process to extract more nickel from lower-quality ore. MIT Technology Review reported that the mine's owner installed shipping containers with a fermentation-derived broth developed by Allonnia. This process captures and removes impurities, allowing for continued nickel production, according to Kent Sorenson, Allonnia's chief technology officer.
