OpenAI pauses Astra over possible critical cybersecurity capabilities
Rippling builds tool to curb runaway AI token spending after 80% monthly growth
Roku launches 24/7 AI-generated content channel from startup Fairground

A Eye on AI - 6:14 PM
In this briefing: OpenAI halts work on its Astra model over potential critical cyber capabilities, while Rippling reveals how runaway AI token spending nearly hit 90% of its R&D budget and launches a tool to rein it in. The Vergecast examines Google's AI leadership shake-up and its dependence on Reddit, plus Disney's content plans and the 'time spent' metric. Airbnb says AI now writes 60% of its code and is testing AI search; Cloudflare introduces Kitesurf, a browser for AI agents; Microsoft open-sources an automated unit-test agent; and HSP GRUPPE shares productivity gains from ChatGPT Enterprise. In everyday life, Roku adds an AI-generated FAST channel from Fairground, which The Verge describes as a stream of short-form slop.
