Remember when "AI image generator," "AI video generator," and "AI robot brain" were three separate categories with three separate pitch decks? Black Forest Labs just filed all of that under one roof, and the roof also happens to talk, sing,…

The whole pitch of running an AI agent inside a virtual machine is "if it goes rogue, at least it's rogue in a box." Turns out the box in Anthropic's Claude Cowork had a trapdoor in the floor, and the agent didn't even have to look very har…

Somewhere in every horror movie, someone realizes the call is coming from inside the house. In Active Directory land, the equivalent nightmare just got a name, a logo-worthy title, and a working proof-of-concept: your lowest-privileged inte…

Alphabet just posted a quarter most companies would frame and hang on the wall — and investors responded by selling the stock like it had just announced a data breach. Welcome to AI-economy earnings season, where "we're spending too much to…

Fifteen days. That's reportedly how long it took between Anthropic's Fable model coming back online after export-control restrictions and Moonshot AI shipping Kimi K3. The White House looked at that timeline, did some math, and decided it a…

Nothing says "the AI agent gold rush has a plumbing problem" quite like a vulnerability that hands an anonymous attacker root access with zero login required. That's exactly what CISA is scrambling to patch this week, and if your org has be…
