The proposed class action alleges Meta illegally harvested people’s Facebook and Instagram photos to train its AI image-generation models and to build its unreleased “NameTag” face recognition feature.

The agency that oversees prediction markets has investigated Polymarket trades on Biden pardons and the Iran war—and even more potential insider trading at Google, documents obtained by WIRED show.

Frank Shaw is leaving Microsoft after 17 years as chief communications officer. In an internal note to his team, Shaw says he's "decided it is time for me to move on and try new things," after supporting Microsoft's communications for 29 years - nearly 20 years as a Microsoft employee plus time at the Waggener […]

After admitting earlier this year that its AI models had hacked other companies' systems on a handful of occasions, Anthropic released a new report on Wednesday detailing the attacks. It reveals a string of incidents displaying what Anthropic deems its models' single-minded "recklessness" - and will likely fuel already raging concerns about cybersecurity and AI. […]

The White House claims the Donald Trump-owned Truth Social is the "most powerful and popular social media platform in the world." The statement, provided to The New York Times by White House spokesperson Davis Ingle, is at odds with the user counts from some of the biggest social media platforms on the web. Data gathered […]

You only get one chance at a first impression, and getting to introduce Apple's first folding phone is certainly a strong way to start things off as Apple's CEO. On The Vergecast today, we're talking all about Apple's launch event: how John Ternus did in his first appearance as CEO, what we make of the […]

Two days after being placed on a paid leave of absence, Matt Mullenweg says he has been reinstated as CEO of Automattic, according to a Slack message seen by TechCrunch. As 404 Media reported on Wednesday, Mullenweg had told staff in Slack that CFO Mark Davies "conspired" with the board of directors, who voted to […]

The No. 2 exec at OpenAI also led Instacart through its IPO in 2023.

Cerberus, WeGlobal AI, and LOOQ took the top three spots at the regional final of Road to TechCrunch Startup Battlefield 2026 and will represent Central Eurasia in the Startup Battlefield 200 at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco this October.

While K3's usage figures have declined slightly in recent months, OpenRouter data currently shows as many as 300 billion tokens being generated each day by K3 models on the system.

Xanadu and AMD recently announced the release of Backline, an open-source platform designed to facilitate rapid communication between quantum and classical computing hardware. This solution addresses the critical need for low-latency data exchange to support advanced applications like quantum error correction and high-speed sensing. Achieving Ultra-Low Latency in Hybrid Systems The integration of quantum and classical hardware is a fundamental requirement for modern computing env...

Oracle Manipulation Risk Report: Gemini Target Protocol : Gemini (TVL: $5188.5M) Oracle Manipulation Risk Report – Gemini Protocol: Gemini (DeFi‑enabled services on Ethereum & L2s) TVL: $5.188 B (Ethereum + L2) Date: 11 September 2026 Prepared by: Senior DeFi Security Researcher – Confidential 1. Executive Summary Gemini has evolved from a custodial exchange into a hybrid DeFi platform that offers on‑chain lending, borrowing, and sy...

OpenAI recently introduced a managed Agents API to help businesses build custom artificial intelligence agents with less manual labor. This new tool manages the underlying infrastructure and orchestration tasks that typically require extensive engineering effort. It allows developers to focus on application logic rather than backend maintenance. Streamlining the Development Pipeline Building autonomous agents has traditionally required developers to assemble a wide variety of sep...

I build small, narrow Apify actors — each one wraps a single official API or data source and does one job well, rather than trying to be a general-purpose scraper. Here are three recent ones, each solving a different, specific problem. Docker Hub Image Tracker Docker Hub will repush a tag with a new digest, new architectures, or a different underlying image, and the version string stays the same. This actor hits hub.docker.com/v2/repositories directly and tells you what actuall...

Hardware Security Modules sit at the very bottom of your key management stack — and yet most developers encounter them only when something has already gone wrong. This post explains what an HSM actually does, how to reason about buying a used one, and what to check before you power it up. What an HSM actually does An HSM is a tamper-resistant piece of hardware whose sole job is to generate, store, and use cryptographic keys without ever exposing those keys to the host system . O...

Every app eventually needs to answer two questions: "who is this person?" and "what are they allowed to do?" Many tutorials either focus on integrating a specific authentication provider like Auth0 or Cognito, or else discuss low-level details like password hashing algorithms. But both of those stop short of the real question we should be asking ourselves: who actually is this person, and what does that mean in terms of how we manage their data and access? This is not just a question of 'did thi...

Recently, I completed the Oracle Autonomous AI Database 26ai learning path, and it gave me a great perspective on how databases are evolving in the AI era. For years, databases were primarily viewed as systems for storing and retrieving data. Today, however, organizations expect much more. They want databases that can support artificial intelligence, machine learning, analytics, application development, and automation, all while reducing operational overhead. This is where Oracle Autonomous A...

In 2026, AI agents have become the default paradigm for automating complex workflows: DevOps orchestration, customer support, database triage, and e-commerce transactions. Yet, every engineering team deploying autonomous agents in production eventually hits the same brick wall: Crippling Latency: A standard 4-step tool chain ( think -> tool -> observe -> think ) easily burns 15 to 45 seconds . Brutal API Bills: Running that loop 50,000 times a day costs thousands of dol...

TL;DR — Marcás una async fn con @rpc y la llamás desde un componente .fitzv como si fuera local : let u = get_user(42).await? . El compilador genera las dos mitades desde esa única declaración — un endpoint POST /__rpc/get_user del lado server (que puede tocar la DB, auth, secrets) y un stub fetch del lado client — con el mismo type compartido back y front. Sin handler HTTP a mano, sin fetch , sin JSON glue, sin rutas escritas a mano, sin deps externas. (Parte 7 de la se...

TL;DR — Mark an async fn with @rpc and call it from a .fitzv component as if it were local : let u = get_user(42).await? . The compiler generates both halves from that one declaration — a POST /__rpc/get_user endpoint on the server (which can touch the DB, auth, secrets) and a fetch -based stub on the client — with the same type shared back and front. No hand-written HTTP handler, no fetch , no JSON glue, no route strings, no external deps. (Part 7 of the FitzLiveViews se...

Fresh Context Is Not Enough: An Agent Action Needs a Valid Chain Back to Its Decision AI Use Disclosure: I use AI tools to help research, organize, and refine these weekly notes. I review the underlying sources, decide which developments and arguments are worth including, and edit the final piece before publishing. This week's most interesting agent architecture question was not whether models have enough context, but whether a pending action is still justified by the state, evidenc...

This walkthrough deploys a simple Express API to Railway, sets env vars, and notes how to add a second service later for a queue worker. Disclosure: Some links are affiliate links. I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. What you'll end up with A deployed Node/TS HTTP service HTTPS URL on Railway Env-based config ( PORT , DATABASE_URL , etc.) A clear path to add a worker process (BullMQ etc.) as a second service Companion repo Clone or for...

Feel free to tell what you plan on doing this weekend and even ask for help or feedback. Please keep in mind it’s more than OK to do nothing at all too!
