An independent researcher has linked more than 16,000 scans of a United Nations statistics portal to artificial intelligence agents that he believes were most likely operated by the OpenAI Group PBC. When the portal rejected requests, agents used proxies and coding tricks to get the data anyway. In a blog post published on Saturday, engineer … Read more
Researchers have found that brain circuits are hijacked, leading to increasingly rigid and repetitive behavior. The brain circuit normally involved in selecting natural mouth and facial movements, but which is disproportionately taxed when behavior declines with repeated cocaine exposure. The new study by researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem found that the striatum is … Read more
What just happened? It appears that Russia has followed in Iran’s footsteps and decided to target data centers in its hostilities. A Russian drone hit a business center in the Ukrainian capital Kiev on Friday, killing four people and damaging a data center that Russia later confirmed as a target. The September 25 attack shocked … Read more
For decades, the observability industry has answered a fundamental question: Is it running? Agentic artificial intelligence breaks this model. An agent can return a clean response, meet its latency target, and not throw errors, but still give a customer the wrong answer, invoke the wrong tool, or rely on an outdated knowledge base. By any … Read more
According to an independent research report based on information from AI research firm Transluce, OpenAI’s autonomous AI agents repeatedly polled a UN website and used techniques that appeared to circumvent restrictions on retrieving publicly available data. The agents searched a public data hub run by UN Trade and Development, the trade arm of the United … Read more
