📦 Bad news from Peregrine, OpenAI's copyright dispute, Apple's guidelines

I hate to be the one bringing the sad news, but that awesome mission we were all hyped about? Well, turns out a fuel leak is stealing its thunder. Astrobotic’s Peregrine won’t make it to the moon after all. The OpenAI vs. The New York Times discussion gets more intricate as the days go by, with OpenAI claiming they’re not being completely honest with their statement (though saying they aim to make things work). And, as usual, Apple is all about exclusivity; they want developers to ditch the whole VR/AR term for their fancy new Vision Pro apps.
