Good Evening!

Somewhere on Mount Shasta, three hikers learned the hard way that Gemini is not a park ranger.

Here are the 7 things you missed today:

1. 🐆 Jaguar Land Rover is Axing 4,000 Roles to Save $2.3Bn

Turns out heritage badges do not pay the electricity bill. Jaguar Land Rover is cutting 4,000 roles over the next two years, chasing £1.7Bn ($2.3Bn) of savings after a brutal run of Chinese competition, a cyberattack that stalled production, and U.S. tariffs. Management is calling it a cost-saving drive... the 4,000 will probably call it something else. (CNBC)

3. 📰 The Seattle Times & Newsday are Suing OpenAI & Microsoft

The Seattle Times has decided that taking Microsoft's money and suing Microsoft are not mutually exclusive. It and Newsday filed suit over journalism allegedly used to train the two companies' AI products, calling generative AI "a snake eating its own tail" that could leave the news business "broken beyond repair." Microsoft says it is surprised, and happy to talk it through. (TechCrunch)

4. 🙏 Need a killer hire but can't justify a $150,000 salary?

I'll place an A-Player with years of experience doing exactly what you need them to do... for a fraction of the salary and recruiting fee of a US employee.

I've built multiple 7-figure-a-year businesses with large teams of Eastern European talent that continually overdeliver. Time zones, taxes, and communication are no longer an issue when hiring overseas!

5. 🚀 Isar Aerospace Put Europe's First Commercial Rocket in Orbit

Isar Aerospace was started in 2018 by three students messing about in a Munich campus workshop, which beats most Series A origin stories. Its 92-foot Spectrum rocket lifted off Saturday from a Norwegian spaceport inside the Arctic Circle and reached low-Earth orbit seven minutes later, a first for a fully commercial European launcher. CEO Daniel Metzler says Europe finally has sovereign access to space. (ArsTechnica)

6. 🥾 Gemini Talked Three Hikers Into a Night on Mount Shasta

Gemini is excellent at planning and considerably worse at guessing how much water you will drink. Three hikers used Google's chatbot to prep a Mount Shasta climb, summited at 7pm instead of the recommended noon, then spent the night in Mud Creek Canyon before rangers hauled them out. The sheriff's office said they were advised to pack "far less food and water" than they needed. (TechCrunch)

7. 🩸 A Secret Elizabeth Holmes Documentary Premiered at Telluride

Elizabeth Holmes is back on a screen, and this time she cooperated. Telluride audiences locked their phones away for a surprise three-hour premiere of "You Can See Everything," a Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim film shot in the 34 days before the Theranos founder began an 11-year fraud sentence. Fielder reportedly lived in her guest house. A24 releases it in October. (TechCrunch)
