TikTok Rolls Out AI Likeness Scan Feature:
To fight your deepfakes, TikTok now needs your actual face first. Creators verify with a selfie and ID scan before the app hunts down anyone stealing their likeness. Protection starts with surveillance.
Things to Know:
Opt In Or Opt Out: Only select American creators can access this verification process. TikTok claims facial biometrics stay comparative, never retained as identification.
The Identity Toll: Verification requires a real-time selfie with a government ID screening through Jumio. TikTok says it never keeps the identification documents.
Copying The Homework: YouTube extended this to eligible creators over eighteen, celebrities, and talent agencies. TikTok is borrowing the playbook, several months behind.
Every platform now treats your face like property that needs constant guarding these days. Verification is becoming the toll for basic protection online. Proving you're human might soon cost you your privacy.
Beijing Builds AI Bloc Of 29 Nations:
Xi Jinping stood in Shanghai and preached global AI unity, a symphony of cooperation. Behind the scenes, Chinese officials are reportedly restricting outside access to their models. So much for the symphony.
Things to Know:
The New Alliance: Beijing officially launched a new AI coalition called WAICO, headquartered in Shanghai. Twenty-nine countries signed on, including Russia and Brazil.
The Open Source Catch: Xi champions worldwide AI openness, yet Chinese manufacturers are quietly abandoning Nvidia processors. Homegrown silicon is winning favor instead.
Where America Fits In: Trump recently restricted Anthropic's Mythos model from going abroad, then eased the ban slightly. Xi's cooperation might just skip Washington.
The Global South Play: Xi pledged five thousand AI training opportunities for developing nations over five years. Call it strategic influence, generously repackaged.
Beijing's vision of cooperation sounds inclusive, until you realize who is missing from the invitation list. The contest is not open versus closed. It is whose rules the remainder must learn to follow.

Google Unveils Always-On Memory Agent:
Most AI agents have the memory of a goldfish, forgetting it all when the chat ends. Google Cloud created one that never sleeps, filing away memories every thirty minutes. Zero vector database required.
Things to Know:
Forget The Vector Database: This agent skips embeddings and vector databases completely. Instead, an LLM reads, thinks, and writes structured memory straight into SQLite.
Memory That Sleeps On It: Every thirty minutes, a separate consolidation agent quietly reviews memories and connects the dots. It writes new insights nobody requested.
Feed It Almost Anything: Screenshots, voice memos, even handheld videos all arrive into the designated watch folder. It automatically sorts through every file format.
Memory used to mean bolting a database onto your chatbot and hoping it worked properly. Now it runs quietly in the background, connecting dots nobody asked for. Forgetting was never the actual problem.

Prompt:
“3D-rendered vertical scene of a whimsical tabby kitten character with wild silver-grey hair and green-blue eyes, walking a misty lakeside path in a cozy oversized charcoal knit cardigan and jumpsuit, cradling a steaming ceramic coffee mug. Foreground of damp stones, moss, and ferns. Tranquil lake, overcast sky, distant pine silhouettes in fog. Muted slate grey, brown, and forest green palette, soft diffused cool lighting, serene reflective mood.”
