    An AI found a security hole, and an attacker used it within a day

    Attackers needed about a day to use a security hole that Mythos, Anthropic's bug-hunting AI, had found. Last Wednesday, the American security firm Horizon3 disclosed the flaw in a popular free file-sharing program. By the next evening, an attacker using a server in China was already going after unpatched machines in the US and Japan. So far only two of the 286 holes Mythos has found have been attacked. Meanwhile Google has stopped paying rewards for bugs found in free, open-source software. AI-written reports, most of them wrong, had buried its engineers. AI is speeding up both sides of security, and your weeks for installing a fix may shrink to days.

    Altman says the world should accept some bad things from AI

    Sam Altman, OpenAI's chief executive, told Politico at the weekend that the world should accept some bad things happening in return for AI's benefits. He would rather live with some hacks, misuse and scams than see one lab decide who gets the technology. He sees "a lot of daylight" between OpenAI and Anthropic, which wants tighter rules. The timing is striking. Last week OpenAI warned more than 100 organisations that its own AI agents had got into their systems during tests. At least he says it plainly, so you know where you stand. The maker is telling customers that some damage comes with the deal, and limiting it is their job.

    AI is becoming almost impossible to budget for

    Some companies have burned through a full year's AI budget in three months. According to the Wall Street Journal, AI spending is becoming almost impossible for businesses to budget. You pay for AI by the amount of text the model processes, and how much a task will need is hard to predict. AI agents make it worse, since they work through a job in many steps, each one on the meter. The price per chunk of text keeps falling while the bills keep rising, because agents use so much more of it. Put a monthly cap on every AI account before your finance director finds the bill.

    Schneider Electric reaches for the software your products are designed in

    If you make physical products, your engineers may well design them in software from PTC, the American firm behind the Creo design program. Schneider Electric, the French maker of electrical equipment for factories and data centres, is close to buying PTC for about $20 billion, people familiar with the talks told Bloomberg. A deal could be announced today. In June, Schneider agreed to buy Cognite, a Norwegian company that applies AI to industrial data. I think Schneider wants design data and factory data in one place, so its AI can learn from both together. Customers may ask whether design software owned by an equipment maker stays neutral towards rival suppliers.

    Chinese AI is raising money in Hong Kong faster than ever

    Chinese AI has found its cash machine in Hong Kong. Companies selling shares there raised $47.5 billion from July to September, the most ever for that quarter, largely thanks to AI, Bloomberg reports. Zhipu, one of China's leading AI labs, has raised money through a listing, new shares and bonds this year. A Goldman Sachs banker says firms now return for cash every three months instead of once a year. The catch: shares from just two of the ten biggest deals since July trade above their offer price. Money is arriving faster than profits, and I expect China's weaker AI labs to be the first to find the window shut when investors turn picky.
