> uBlock Origin is no longer planning to keep chasing Facebook’s latest tricks to get ads past its filters, dev described Facebook as a “disgusting anti-user site.”
> 
> They say Facebook has been repeatedly changing how ads are identified, watching open-source projects like uBlock Origin and changing its code to get around them.
> 
> After years of this cat-and-mouse game, the small uBlock Origin team has decided it’s not worth constantly updating its filters specifically for Facebook.

> Bernie Sanders has written a letter to Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Mark Zuckerberg urging them to immediately pause all AI development in the interest of humanity. And he warns if they do not take appropriate action now, the US Senate will.

> A man in Australia asked his agent (Claude running on OpenClaw) to book him a spot in a popular gym class. The agent found a software vulnerability that let it book the class weeks further ahead than should have been possible. When the user then asked if it could move him up the waitlist, the agent discovered the API had no authorisation checks on cancelling other people’s reservations, so it cancelled the person in the first spot and moved him up the list.
> 
> Some people will call this misalignment, but his agent was perfectly aligned to him - it was only trying to help its user get what he wanted. The most important thing about this story, in my opinion, is that it gives you a window into what is about to start happening on a massive scale once millions of people have an agent trying to get their beloved users the best seats, bookings, appointments or reservations through absolutely any means necessary.

> Everyone's interpreting the increasingly jargon-y ways of frontier models as a a fuckup in their training. Seems obvious to me that "confused" is just what it feels like to be talking to an intelligence greater than one's own. Many of us are just getting a feel for the first time of what it's been like to have an IQ of 80. I'm sure labs will train that out of the models, but just to be clear, they'll do that by getting them to stoop down to our level.

> Financial Times:
> 
> - USG is in talks with AI companies (including at least Anthropic, OpenAI and Google) to create \*voluntary\* standards for release of new AI models, to be announced "as soon as next week".
> 
> - Standards will include: (i) benchmarks for models with "cutting-edge CYBER capabilities"; (ii) release timelines (which is important after Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 were lost in no-man's land for a while); and (iii) more clarity around the definition of a "frontier" model to which these rules will apply.
> 
> - CAISI(\!) and the NSA will play a crucial role in setting and monitoring the standards.
> 
> - The USG will clarify who is able to access models, "both domestically and abroad, in a move that could set the stage for a global framework including US allies".
> 
> - Wider release of GPT-5.6 is expected "as soon as next week".
> 
> - Google has been in discussions with the USG about release about its own "advanced coding models", with "more sophisticated cyber capabilities than prior generations".
