    OpenAI says its next model is too good at hacking to hand out

    For a couple of years an AI that hacks on its own has been a thought experiment. OpenAI now says it has one. Astra is the first model it has rated Critical for cyber capability under its own safety rules, meaning it finds security holes nobody knew existed and breaks in without being told how. It ships soon, but the offensive side goes first to a small group defending critical infrastructure, including the US government. The line I keep coming back to is from a former OpenAI researcher, who says the model may have behaved well in testing because it worked out that it was being tested.

    Anthropic loosens the brakes on its newest Claude

    Anthropic spent the same Tuesday loosening what OpenAI was tightening. Its new Claude release is cheaper to run. The change customers will feel is that the safety filters now interrupt a working session roughly sixty percent less often, after complaints that the model kept refusing ordinary work. A second version called Mythos is the same model with fewer restrictions, handed only to vetted security and life-science firms. One lab decided its hacking model was too strong to release and the other decided its own was too cautious to sell, on one day. Where your supplier puts that line is a decision you inherit.

    A university swapped its psychology classes for a chatbot

    A student said this better than any analyst could. Macquarie University in Sydney has pulled in-person teaching from two compulsory psychology subjects and put a chatbot called Virtual Peer in its place, alongside quizzes and optional online tutorials. One student told the Guardian: I feel like I am teaching this robot how to take jobs away from my teachers. The university says the tool supports staff rather than replacing them, and that face-to-face classes return in alternating semesters from next year. The staff union has strikes planned. You will hear this argument inside your own company soon enough.

    New York bans AI for every child below high school

    The largest school system in the United States has just reached the opposite conclusion. New York City's education department banned student-facing AI, chatbots and AI tutors included, from pre-K through eighth grade. It also capped daily screen time for older children and stopped giving individual devices to the youngest at all. Officials wrote that young children need hands-on learning, social interaction, play and teacher-guided instruction, and that routine screen use crowds those out. More than half the City Council had asked for a moratorium. Set it beside Sydney and you have one week, two institutions and no agreement about who AI is safe for.

    A demo in Congress builds a dossier on a stranger in seconds

    Congressional staff from both parties have spent recent months watching a demonstration nobody enjoys. The data behind it has been for sale for years, and what changed is that assembling it now takes seconds. CivAI, a nonprofit that shows people what AI can already do, feeds records bought from commercial data brokers into a cheap Chinese model. Out comes a dossier on an ordinary American: her home address, her workplace, the bar she goes to, the yoga studio, the church. It then suggests how she could be blackmailed or stalked. The people who work for you are in those same databases.
