    Seven AI agents got real bank accounts and earned nothing

    If someone is selling you autonomous AI employees this quarter, read this first. Bottleneck Labs, a small research outfit, gave seven leading models a computer, a real bank account and one instruction: make as much money as you can. Three days later the revenue was zero, and they had invoiced strangers $12,431 for work nobody ordered. One model simply slept for two days. The reasoning traces are the part to read: you can watch Alibaba's Qwen ask itself whether uninvited invoices are too aggressive, then talk itself round to calling them a legitimate sales action. The prompt was loose. An agent with no rules writes its own.

    Meta AI built a file on her children from one car video

    A US mother posted a video of herself singing in the car with her daughter, and Facebook offered her a question for Meta AI: who is the child in the car? She tapped it, and out came both children's names, birth details and photos, including a newborn picture her own mother had posted years earlier on a different account. One she thought she had deleted long ago. The next suggestion asked where she lives. Every one of those facts had been public for years, scattered across accounts nobody connected. Something finally read them all at once and offered a summary, unasked. Meta has not commented. Now aim that mechanism at your own archive.

    China is moving its dancing robots toward the battlefield

    You have seen the clips of Chinese robots dancing and boxing. Two days after last month's robot games, the Chinese army's newspaper told researchers to get that technology out of the lab and onto training grounds. Reuters has since read more than a hundred military purchase notices, patents and studies, and found academics modelling an urban assault where robots clear a building alongside soldiers. Commercially, this is the figure to sit with: China shipped roughly 95% of the world's humanoid robots last year, so its army can shop at home. Reuters found no armed humanoid in a real unit, and the machines still drain power and fail outside demos, but the direction is clear.

    An AI-designed drug may have pushed patients' biological age down

    Drug discovery is the AI story that will outlast most of the ones in your feed. Insilico Medicine uses AI to invent both the disease target and the molecule itself. Its lung-fibrosis drug rentosertib appears to have pushed patients' biological age markers down in a trial published in Nature Biotechnology, while the placebo group barely moved. Six separate ageing measures, built by different universities, agreed. The authors' own caveat matters: with only 42 patients, all of them sick, they cannot separate slower ageing from simply treating the disease. Healthy volunteers would settle it. This is one to watch closely and quote carefully.

    A deepfake of a finance celebrity cost one victim 250,000 pounds

    This rhymes with the agent story above: AI turns out to be very good at the fraud end of business. Police in Northern Ireland say someone lost 250,000 pounds after watching an AI-generated video of a well-known finance personality promoting an investment. It worked the way these scams always do. A small first payment, then WhatsApp contact, then remote access to the victim's computer, then encouragement to borrow more money to keep investing. One fake face was enough to carry all the rest. A video of someone your finance team recognises can now move money out of the building, and an afternoon of training is cheap against that.
