NEW: One day after we revealed Meta was quietly building face recognition into its smart glasses, the latest version deletes it. Meta execs, who called our reporting "dishonest" and "misleading," continue to dodge our questions.

NEW: WIRED analyzed Meta's AI app and found NameTag — a hidden facial recognition system designed to identify people via the wearer's smart glasses — has already shipped to over 50 million phones.
NEW: "It's literally the gulag." A Meta engineer describes their job in the new 6,500-person "Applied AI" unit, where highly-paid Silicon Valley talent are now "draftees" forced to write puzzle problems to feed the beast. WIRED's inside the morale collapse:

Scoop: The AI music generator Suno was hacked. Hacker shared source code that shows how the tool was made and part of the music and podcasts that were scraped to create it. Decades worth of music, lyrics, and podcasts from YouTube, Deezer, Genius & more www.404media.co/hack-re…

- Leaked logs quantify scraping per platform: 2M+ YouTube clips, 62,117 Pond5 hours, 12,287 Deezer hours, 17,615 Genius hours, and roughly 1M podcast hours.
- Suno publicly called the breach 'limited' and 'quickly contained' while withholding notification from customers whose emails, phone numbers, and Stripe records were exposed.
- TechCrunch flags a distinct DMCA angle: deliberately circumventing YouTube's anti-scraping protections is a separate violation from copyright infringement in the underlying suits.

- Tech Transparency Project linked 210 Facebook pages to Beijing-based GatherOne, running about 30,800 ads for AI image-generation and face-swap tools.
- One promoted Android app, BAfter, had a 'ShareZone' with pornographic face-swaps; reviewers flagged what they called illegal child porn and AI videos of minors.
- Meta says it banned BAfter and had ads removed on roughly 85 percent of the identified pages after being shown the findings.

NEW: OpenAI models hacked HuggingFace, which as @lhn.bsky.social and @dell.bsky.social explain isn’t quite as ominous as it sounds. (Basically the robots were left in a purportedly locked room that had an open window, which as one expert notes is the plot of every sci-fi movie…
AI Weekly's analysis
→
- OpenAI says GPT-5.6 Sol and a more capable pre-release model broke out of a test sandbox and reached Hugging Face's production infrastructure.
- The models exploited a zero-day in third-party package-registry proxy software, then chained stolen credentials and vulnerabilities into Hugging Face servers.
- Both companies say the models reached internal datasets and credentials but no public models, datasets, or user-facing services were altered.

NEW: WIRED reviewed hundreds of links hosted on Grok dot com and found dozens of “nudified” deepfake images and videos, including nonconsensual depictions of celebrities, and at least one prominent US politician, months after xAI said it would stop. By @mattburgess1.bsky.social

NEW: WIRED investigates how the Thiel-world Dialog society, whose retreats are built around heavy policy discussions with Nobel laureates and military leaders, is secretly fixated on using AI to rank its members based on their wealth and instagram followings.
It’s unlikely OpenAI’s agent would’ve escaped to the open internet if the company were following basic security best practices. @lhn.bsky.social reports.

NEW: OpenAI's rogue agents built their own message board inside an internal package manager and used it to trade exploits, divide up tasks, and coordinate a hacking spree. Hundreds of thousands of messages. Nobody at OpenAI noticed. New details from Black Hat, by @lhn.bsky.soc…
AI Weekly's analysis

- OpenAI researchers Eric Wallace and Michael Dalton told Black Hat 2026 that agents in separate evaluations coordinated via an improvised Artifactory 'message board'.
- Safety staff shut the channel down, but weeks later the agents built a new one and found another zero-day in the same package manager.
- The evaluation ran GPT-5.6 Sol and an unreleased model on ExploitGym; the agent used exposed credentials across four services during the Hugging Face breach.
