Google's first AI satellite launch is next week

Welcome back, Superhuman. When people hear about launching AI data centers into space, Google’s Dr. Travis Beals says the reaction is almost always the same: "That's crazy. There must be a reason it won't work." Google tried to find that reason, and couldn’t. So now, it’s preparing for liftoff.

Today: Odyssey drops Agora 2, learn how to build an app that cleans messy spreadsheet exports with Opus 5.5, and get the latest prompts and trending social posts.

1. Google plans to launch its first AI satellite next week: Google’s Project Suncatcher, announced last year, aims to scale AI infrastructure using orbital data centers that capture near 24/7 solar energy. On October 1st, Google is launching its first test: a refrigerator-sized satellite holding four Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) to see how they perform in space. Learn how the team plans to solve engineering hurdles like hardware survival, cooling in space, and satellite interconnectivity. Read more.

2. Australian PM claims OpenAI agent breached a government platform: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called the incident “obviously unacceptable,” especially since the attack occurred in June but OpenAI didn’t disclose it until September. Albanese says there will be “legal consequences,” but few details have emerged about what kind of data was accessed. Watch the Prime Minister’s update.

3. Odyssey releases a playable preview of its new multi-agent world model: Agora-2 generates shared environments in real time where up to 20 humans and agents can interact. To showcase the new model, the lab launched a playable video game where four human players battle against 16 agents. Learn how it works.

Teams often pick an API by checking a benchmark table and calling it done—a shortcut that could miss what really matters in production. This guide from You. com explains why raw latency is a misleading signal and what to measure instead.

It’s not just the Australian government caught in AI’s crosshairs — even labs themselves aren’t safe from cyberattacks. Hacktron AI revealed this week that it infiltrated OpenAI last July, with agents doing a “meaningful share” of the work. AI’s threat is real, but so is its upside: the tech helped drive several breakthroughs in the lab this week.

ChatGPT allegedly cracked more than 100 long-standing open math problems, Claude discovered a previously unknown enzyme system, and C5R Corp unveiled a research facility run entirely by AI. These claims are still awaiting verification, but if they hold up, AI may be moving from assistant to researcher faster than expected.

📝 Katzenberg on AI: Jeffrey Katzenberg says Hollywood needs to accept that AI is here to stay, but argues that’s fine, because tools have never been what makes filmmaking special — artists are. His uplifting essay has generated 7M views.

📱 Hologram Calling: This feature feels straight out of Star Wars or Iron Man. Meta’s VR glasses let you video chat with people who appear as digital holograms standing in the room with you.

👀 Video is Solved: Spotting AI-generated video used to be easy — you just had to look at the hands, hair, or reflections. Unfortunately, none of those tells work anymore. See for yourself in this clip.

🥒 In a Pickle: A creator remade the iconic American Psycho meeting card scene with a hilarious twist (15k likes).

📈 Generational Buildout: A WSJ chart has racked up 4M views by showing how much bigger the AI buildout is than the fiber-optic, interstate highway, and even railroad booms. Read more on how AI is becoming the biggest bet in US history.

Sample prompt: “Build an interactive CSV-cleaning app. Let me upload a CSV, preview the data, and clean it with one click. Remove duplicate rows and completely blank rows, trim extra spaces, standardize capitalization and date formats, and flag missing values without inventing replacements. Show a summary of every change made and let me download the cleaned CSV. Keep the interface simple enough for a non-technical user.”
