This is absolutely nuts: hackers are hijacking high-profile Instagram accounts by simply asking Meta's AI chatbot to change the email on the account. Meta's AI does it, hacker gets password reset code, they're in. A staggering security issue www.404media.co/hackers-simp...

If you're looking for a clear AI policy for students, I recommend Berkeley Law's. "Thinking remains the sine qua non of good lawyering (and of a quality legal education).This policy seeks to ensure that our courses focus on requisite cognitive skills by default" www.law.berkel…

- UC Berkeley Law will bar AI from conceptualizing, outlining, drafting, revising, translating, or editing any work submitted for credit starting Summer 2026.
- AI is completely prohibited for any purpose in any exam situation; students also cannot upload assignments, readings, slides, or class recordings into generative AI systems.
- The one research carve-out lets students use AI only to identify sources such as cases, statutes, or secondary sources.

Next time someone tries to tell you an LLM is conscious, send them this article by a principal scientist at Microsoft: If LLMS Have Human-Like Attributes, Then So Does Age of Empires II arxiv.org/pdf/2605.31514

Someone tell me if I'm wrong, but this kind of vertical integration seems like a troubling indicator for an already overhyped and overleveraged AI market. Also, I really liked @huggingface.bsky.social as an independent entity.

Huh. Apparently my work is among the top 2% weightiest of the people whose work informs LLMs. Not as weighty as Taylor Swift, Barack Obama or Adolf Hitler (!), but I guess that means you get a little bit of me every time you query a chatbot. Check your own weightiness: inthewe…

- Joey Flynn and Thomas Dimson, both former OpenAI employees, built the site, which launched in June 2026.
- The tool queries models including GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.8, Gemini, Grok, and Llama, scoring recognition up to a maximum of 996.
- Appearing in a 1-billion-parameter model like Meta's Llama signals especially high relevance, because smaller models compress knowledge more aggressively.

This paper feels massive for some image lawsuits specifically, and I wonder if it can be replicated with text. If you remove an artist from a model, the output will remain the same. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We spent decades worrying about sentient AI, but it turns out that was a red herring and we really should have worried about autonomous AI.* This is gonna get real interesting real quick.

How many times can I scream that AI agents enabled by LLMs will hack every website, payment system, hospital, every credit union etc BECAUSE IT CAN. Resignations from Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta etc are just the smart rats fleeing the ship. We need more whistleblowers now! www.tik…

Another great question. I don't worry about market deluges, mostly because there's a long history of them not causing the kind of problems people worry about: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/what... If anything, all the slop will make artists & audiences invest even greater value…
