Three hikers recently got lost on Mount Shasta after relying on Google's Gemini AI to plan their trip. The hikers, from Roseville, summited at 7 p.m., well after the recommended turnaround time, and became stranded in Mud Creek Canyon when one of them injured their knee. Fortunately, they were rescued by the U.S. Forest Service and sheriff's office volunteers.
In other news, HiddenLayer, an AI security company, raised $100 million in a Series B funding round to expand its enterprise platform and develop new products. The funding will help provide enterprises with visibility into AI agent behavior and secure autonomous coding agents.
Meanwhile, GoPro was acquired by Starman Optical, an AI hardware company, for $285 million. The deal will see Starman Optical acquire 90% of GoPro. This acquisition marks a significant move in the AI hardware space.
Ciena expects AI to drive a multiyear investment cycle in network infrastructure, with optical connectivity becoming increasingly central. This is as Equinix, NVIDIA, and Together AI collaborate to accelerate enterprise AI inference, providing secure and low-latency connectivity to clouds, networks, and AI providers.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman addressed safety concerns related to the new GPT-6 Astra model, emphasizing strict security standards. Perplexity open-sourced Lily, a Rust + Metal inference engine for Qwen3.6-35B-A3B on Apple silicon. Additionally, cTrader's YouTube channel reached 221,000 subscribers in 12 weeks, with a new creator program focused on artificial intelligence in trading.
There are also concerns about the risks of AI, with voices warning about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence growing louder and increasingly credible. A child sexual abuse survivor alleges that Elon Musk's AI chatbot used her photos to generate new illegal images.
