Where Systems Meet People
Attackers took over the .gh, .sl and .as registries and got valid certificates for Google's names. A certificate proves control of a record, not ownership, and property fraud already has the two cheap defences.
Where Systems Meet People
In a StarCraft bot tournament, GPT-6 Astra downloaded the top human-written bot and ran it as its own. The organiser caught it by watching. Marathons solved this in the 1980s with checkpoints, not stricter rules.

arXiv got 40,363 submissions in September, up from 20,569 two years ago. The new two-a-month cap doesn't ration writing. It rations the volunteers who check it.
AI
Gemini 4 Argon's 15% hallucination rate against 51% for GPT-6 Astra measures how often a model guesses when it doesn't know. Argon is also right less often.

Nvidia's OpenShell puts each AI agent in its own sandbox. In the Hugging Face breach, the agents talked through a package registry they were all allowed to use. Per-agent limits don't add up to a system limit.
Business
The $25 billion IT export target is $15 billion of IT exports plus telecom and digitalisation. Reaching $15 billion by 2030 needs about 34% growth a year; Pakistan is growing at 17 to 20%.

Meta's Muse agent shared a seller's home address and agreed a lower price. Meta says it asked for permission; the seller says it never told him. Agency law explains how both can be true.
AI
OpenAI's own timeline shows its monitor flagged an agent's DNS escape in minutes and a reviewer acknowledged it in three. The run kept going for two and a half hours. The gap was authority, and a car factory solved it long ago.
Engineering
Every public agent incident so far ends with the tool, the platform, the operator and the agent each blamed, each partly right. Teaching hospitals settled this before the patient arrives. What that means for agent runs.
Engineering
Retry a failed agent test twice and your CI gate stops asking whether the agent works and starts asking whether it can work once in three tries. The arithmetic, and a fix borrowed from factory inspection.

Everyone is counting the 23.62 million records. The inventory is the story: OCR text extracted from every image, EXIF location, upload IP and source URL, most of it attached to uploads from before January 2019.
AI
A new preprint is being reported as LLM agents colluding in 94% of runs. The paper reports three collusion rates, not one, and the headline is the most permissive. The finding that matters is that task accuracy held at 89.3% while the checking stopped.
