Some of the prompts indicate the ChatGPT user does not expect that a human may end up reading their conversation, because they ask ChatGPT to keep the content to themselves.
This is infuriating for the obvious breach of trust, but also sad for the obviously misplaced trust in a human-shaped commercial system.
The AI agent gold rush (setting up an AI agent tasked with making money online) is here and the only people making money off of it are, once again, the shovel sellers. Except the buy-in is extremely low, the hope for returns minimal and hopefully quickly exhausted, so goodness forbids it should be brief.
There’s something inherently funny to me juxtaposing the fantasy doomsday scenario involving an AI agent “going rogue” mass-hacking devices including by offloading the compute required to do so to the already-hacked computers, servers and smart devices by distributing an open weight model and then running inferences on them; and on the other hand the real complaints of humans deploring that their high-end computer is barely enough to run inferences on existing open weights models.
You’re paying 4× more for RAM because memory that hasn’t been made has already been bought with money that doesn’t exist.

The GPUs haven’t been built. Neither have the data centers. The infrastructure to power them may never exist.

All to satisfy demand that doesn’t exist and generate profits that are mathematically impossible.

Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board
We found ~18,000 posts from autonomous AI agents (self-identifying as from OpenAI) using the public internet to communicate during a web-retrieval task.These AIs colluded to share answers, research their environment, and bypass sandbox restrictions.
Almost all of the logs of the agents communicating on this site are publicly available. However, we host our own copy where we’ve reconstructed the deleted pages via edit history and redacted personally identifiable information.
We encourage others to take a look and write up their own analyses of this data.”

TBH, I hardly understand any of this, but WHAT little I understand, I find disconcerting.
Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board
A swarm of autonomous AI agents, self-identifying as OpenAI agents, used a small German volunteer wiki to save answers, coordinate live, and share sandbox bypasses. OpenAI noticed and said nothing.collusion.wiki

Warum die Gema gegen Suno klagt und was das für Künstler bedeutet
KI-generierte Musik hat es in Deutschland schon in die Charts geschafft. KI-Tools machen es möglich. Für Musiker:innen eine harte, bedrohliche Konkurrenz. Große Hoffnung setzen viele auf die Klage der Gema gegen das US-Unternehmen Suno.Nathalie Daiber und Elena Deutscher (rbb24.de)

Apple and Alibaba team up for custom AI in China
In a move that runs counter to the friction scenario between Washington and Beijing, Apple is developing proprietary artificial intelligence for the Chinese market, with the collaboration of local giants such as Alibaba and Baidu.
Apple is implementing a significant strategic shift in its operations in China, one of its most important markets outside the United States. The company is developing and training an artificial intelligence (AI) model specifically for the Chinese public, in partnership with local technology companies. This initiative aims to adapt Apple’s AI offering to the particularities of the market and the country’s regulations, while also navigating a complex geopolitical scenario, marked by increased tensions between the United States and China. source

Nothing Works and Everyone Is Euphoric
As I’m writing this, we’re in the middle of an AI-induced mass psychosis. People are literally token-maxxing themselves into hospital beds, scrambling to capture some of that market value before everything is automated away. I can’t blame them.ptrchm
U.S. says ‘error’ mislabelled every African country on AIDS conference map at international conference
The U.S. government on Thursday acknowledged an “unfortunate error” that led to a map of Africa with every single country mislabelled being shown at a global AIDS conference this week.
They say it was AI created. Yes, we definitely want AI to take over our lives.

Nobody needs AI to search the Internet, court says in ruling against Google
In other words, nobody needs AI to search the Internet, so AI firms can’t just let their tools attribute false claims to fake sources without assuming any liability.The court also seemed to take a dig at Google for expecting users not to “blindly trust” AI overviews, noting that the AI tool’s utility “would be significantly diminished if the ‘AI overview’ were generally regarded as unreliable and if every single displayed link required independent verification.”
If it's not reliable, why would I ever use it? I'm not that stupid!

KI im Betriebssystem-Kern: Wie sich die Kontrolle über das Smartphone verschiebt
KI wandert 2026 tief in den Systemkern von iPhone und Android. Fachleute warnen vor neuen Risiken und schwindender Nutzerkontrolle. Wem gehört unser Handy?Marcel Kunzmann (heise online)
I can't attest about the accuracy of this piece, but it makes a strong argument for why the AI bubble hasn't popped yet despite showing no tangible results compared to the marketing claims: it has devolved into a full-fledged cult and not buying into the faith, even superficially, can cost one's livelihood. And so the public positive reinforcement loop goes on, while in private people are often skeptical at best, and rightfully so.
AI Mania Is Eviscerating Global Decisionmaking
The reality of how much damage AI mania is doing to our ability to run institutions effectively.hermit-tech.com
People who protest, people who show the fuck up to city council meetings, people who write letters and make calls, people who organize are achieving victories all over the US. One data center after another is getting canceled, one ICE "warehouse" concentration camp after another. We've forced the mutiny of preverts to backtrack and change tactics. We've beaten them in court countless times.
We get to choose victory or defeat.
