On the same day, China’s two largest AI platforms shut down the customized AI personas services that millions of users had built relationships with,
only ten days after the release of a cease-operation notice.
The rule behind the shutdown targets a risk that U.S. regulators have also identified, but acted on differently:

And radio hams are also decoding the telemetry: https://destevez.net/2026/05/an-update-about-tianwen-2-telemetry/. While the paper "Tianwen-2 mission target asteroid (469219) Kamoʻoalewa probably develops an Itokawa-compositional but more space-weathered surface" - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-026-73284-w - calls the proposed origin of the asteroid from the Moon into question.
