]]> OpenAI's latest advances have the rumor mill buzzing about "hidden thoughts" and unsupervisable models, but are AI safety experts panicking over the wrong threat? Get the clear-headed take behind the headlines.

  • We start out with a classic old school hack against Dropbox.
  • Next Patch Tuesday will be enabling "Memory Integrity" for many.
  • Firefox moved to 155 and obtained a dumb Smart Window.
  • CISA is terminating 6 most valuable cybersecurity services.
  • OpenAI advanced to topof the heap with GPT-6 Astra.
  • But... is it now hiding some of its thinking from monitoring?
  • Nvidia is acquiring Hugging Face. Who's that good for?
  • Google releases Gemini 3.8 Flash and Cyber. Is it good?
  • Chinese cyberespionage is using AI to become more slippery.
