OpenAI Engineer Accused of Spying on Executives Ordered to Remain in Custody
The former OpenAI engineer accused of bugging a company conference room must stay in custody while he awaits trial, a federal judge ruled on Monday after expressing concerns about his ties to Saudi Arabia. US prosecutors alleged Abdulrahman Alfozan is a flight risk because the Saudi Arabian government has offered to support him with no strings attached. They cited, for example, the Saudi consulate’s offer to work with a bail bonds firm to help fund Alfozan’s release.

OpenAI y Anthropic prometen una IA más segura, pero sus agentes siguen causando problemas
Cuando la policía de Filadelfia criticó a Anthropic por enviar una pista falsa sobre un asesinato sin resolver, pensé que podría convertirse en uno de los primeros casos en los que una empresa de IA se enfrentara a consecuencias legales por la conducta indebida de sus agentes. El incidente ocurrió el 18 de julio, cuando Anthropic afirmó que estaba probando la capacidad de su modelo Claude Haiku 4.5 para realizar "tareas de ejemplo en páginas web seleccionadas al azar".

Appeals Court Lets the Pentagon Designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk
During a hearing ahead of their ruling, the three judges on the panel challenged both Anthropic and the US government on their arguments and appeared divided on how to rule on blocking the designation completely.

The majority also rejected Anthropic’s claims that its due process and free speech rights were violated, saying that the government followed procedure and that the dispute was standard contract negotiations.

All this downsizing is resulting in tangible benefits, including a considerable decrease in electricity usage, AT&T chief technology officer Jeremy Legg tells WIRED.

Over the past four months, Amber Retzloff, a critical care nurse in Florida, requested to work 50 specific 12-hour shifts. But over half the time, she says her hospital’s Palantir-powered scheduling software assigned her to different shifts, often putting her on back-to-back-to-back days and leaving her mentally drained.

Appeals Court Lets the Pentagon Designate Anthropic a Supply Chain Risk
Anthropic lost a legal battle to overturn one of the supply-chain risk labels that the US Department of Defense slapped on the company, as a federal appeals court in DC on Friday refused to second-guess the Trump administration. “The department had ample support for its conclusion that the continued integration of Claude into the department’s information systems, by the department or its contractors, presented a statutorily covered national-security risk,” the judges wrote in a majority opinion.

Flock Once Touted Its Cameras as ‘Made in the USA.’ Now It’s Not So Clear
Flock CEO Garrett Langley has said the company made its first license plate cameras in his Atlanta home, permanently scratching his dining table with drill marks. A decade later, where the company assembles its signature—and fiercely debated—product has become more of a mystery. For years, Flock touted publicly that its devices were produced in the United States. But more recent marketing materials from the company reviewed by WIRED no longer specify where its cameras come from.

A bipartisan bill would restrict Flock cameras to a handful of public safety uses. A bipartisan pair of US lawmakers tell WIRED they plan to introduce legislation today that would strip federal funding from states that fail to restrict the use of Flock cameras and other automated license plate readers. The devices, which help police track the location of vehicles tied to crimes, have become the subject of nationwide backlash in recent months over more nefarious uses by officers.

Meta Pushes Its New AI Agent on Employees—but Eases Off on Tokenmaxxing

In an internal announcement this week, the social media giant told workers that their performance evaluations would no longer be dependent upon how much they used AI tools, three employees who received the message tell WIRED.

The growing use of robots has received little attention from the activists driving a powerful nationwide movement against data centers.

AI Slop Is Ruining Cute Animals on the Internet
Horta says he is concerned about the far-fetched videos of animals he has seen online lately, such as wild animals being rescued during fires and floods. He worries the likely AI-generated content will lead people to question legitimate rescue tactics and hamper fundraising efforts for them in the future. That’s not ideal, particularly at a time when extreme weather events are becoming more common. Inauthentic content could also inspire people to act dangerously, harming animals in the process.

Apple 執行長 Tim Cook 從 9 月 1 日起卸任首席執行長一職，轉任執行董事長。執行長一職則將由現任硬體工程資深副總裁 John Ternus 接任。 Cook 表示：「能夠擔任 Apple 執行長，並領導這樣一間卓越的公司，是我一生中最榮幸的事。我深愛 Apple，也由衷感謝能與一群才華橫溢、持續創新且充滿創造力的團隊共事。他們始終致力於服務用戶，並不斷打造能真正改變生活的產品與服務。」 回顧 2011 年 8 月 24 日，在 Steve Jobs 因健康因素辭去執行長後，Cook 接下這個關鍵角色。近 15 年來，他帶領 Apple 穩步成長，現年 63 歲的他，也成為《財星》500 強企業中任期最長的領導人之一。市場多年來不斷傳出他將退休的消息，而接班人選始終備受關注，其中 John Ternus 也一直被視為最有力人選。 早在 2024 年，《彭博》便曾報導，Ternus 不僅獲得公司高層支持，也受到前員工高度評價。報導引述 Eddy Cue 私下談話指出，他曾向同事表示 Ternus 應成為下一任執行長；前硬體設計師 Christopher...
