- Meta ordered to pay $25 billion penalty in New Mexico Cambridge Analytica case
A New Mexico court ordered Meta to pay $25 billion in penalties in a data privacy case tied to the Cambridge Analytica scandal. A Santa Fe jury found in September that Meta misled state residents about how it collects and protects user data and curbs harmful content, with more than 43 million violations of the state's unfair practices act. Judge Francis Mathew applied the highest allowed penalty of $5,000 per violation; the filing shows the state was initially awarded $219.5 billion, but the penalty was reduced to $25 billion, and interest of 15% a year will accrue until it is paid in full. Earlier, Meta settled many Cambridge Analytica-related privacy suits in a nearly $17 billion August deal with a coalition of state attorneys general over child safety and mental health, but New Mexico did not take part and proceeded to trial.

- What would happen if SpaceX and Tesla merged?
According to the article, a merger of SpaceX and Tesla would create a company with a market value of $3,500 billion and strengthen Elon Musk's control over Tesla. On October 20, Musk said both companies had set up special committees to discuss a possible merger at shareholders' request, calling it “a good idea.” Supporters argue a combined company could collaborate on AI software, chip design, robotics, space launches and internet connectivity, simplify decision-making, and give shareholders of each company access to the other's businesses. The two firms already work together on Terafab, a project to produce advanced chips that Musk expects could start production from late 2028. The biggest hurdles are geopolitical and regulatory: SpaceX is a major contractor for the US Department of Defense, intelligence agencies and NASA, while Tesla's Shanghai factory ties it to China, so the merged firm could face closer scrutiny in both countries.
- How Nvidia's OpenShell is securing the next generation of AI agents: Jensen Huang
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, speaking at the company's GTC Berlin event on Wednesday, introduced the OpenShell platform to address risks from autonomous AI agents that can access files, resources, networks and tools. He argued that such agents should be given minimal privileges and monitored constantly, saying that simply asking agents not to misuse access is not real security. According to Huang, OpenShell runs each agent in an isolated sandbox, with every outbound network request checked against a policy by a supervisor outside the sandbox, and keeps access keys outside the agent so they are added only when sending to an approved endpoint. The platform checks policy changes against permission limits through formal verification and combines Linux kernel isolation with runtime policy enforcement.
