A federal judge ruled the Anthropic blacklisting unlawful. The harder question is what “unlawful” means when consequences arrive before the courts.

Terminal-Bench-Science 0.1 grades agents on researcher-contributed workflows, not textbook Q&A—and the best system still only clears about 30% of tasks.

Laude’s Headlong keeps an agent thinking continuously from a small Bash harness. Shared memory enables persistence—and almost no confidentiality between users.

A paper on “agentic flooding” shows AI making government services easier to navigate. Friction was the rate limiter; the worst response is rebuilding that burden on purpose.

The July MCP spec makes remote servers ordinary HTTP. The harder problem is issuing sub-agents verifiable, narrow authority instead of one giant user token—and that is what makes real autonomy safe enough to want.

Torvalds chased a 2 KB Intel Xe VRAM overlap through 24 patches and 18 boots; AI handled the grunt instrumentation but kept wanting to quit—the kernel still requires a human Signed-off-by.

Terafab's 100-million-square-foot pitch is hard to ignore, but the more interesting experiment is collapsing mask design, logic and memory fab, packaging, and test into one SpaceX-style vertical manufacturing loop.

AppleInsider's homeOS overview reads less like a wall iPad and more like a room-scale operating system: proximity UI, face-aware profiles, and a growing home-hardware family—with Siri readiness as the delay.

404 Media tracked rare books to Amazon’s VGT3 facility in Las Vegas, where workers cut bindings, scan pages for AI training, and destroy the originals— a legally safer path that still feels like a failure of the library.

Curious Quail’s comparison of Aaron Swartz’s JSTOR prosecution with Meta torrenting LibGen and Anna’s Archive for Llama—the cases are not legally identical; the proportionality is hard to ignore.

Vercel Labs’ fx is a 6.39 MiB Zig coding-agent harness with a microsecond cold start—Unix command, not an IDE in a terminal, and small enough to embed.

A leaked Apple demo of camera-equipped AirPods using Visual Intelligence raises two products at once: inconspicuous computer-vision sensors, and a potentially powerful assistive wearable—if the privacy model is designed before the hardware ships.

BBC coverage of CEO AI manifestos lands beside real headcount cuts at Block, Atlassian, Coinbase, and Rackspace—interested testimony from people who both sell the future of work and shrink today’s payrolls.

Google’s HEIR compiler aims to make encrypted AI inference a practical option—running recommendation, fraud, intrusion, and hotword models on ciphertext so the server never needs the plaintext.

Cloudflare Gateway can detect MCP traffic, log destinations, apply DLP, and force approved paths through MCP Portals—treating agent tool access as privileged network traffic instead of hoping every client is configured safely.

Cloudflare Access can now attach to a Worker—or every Worker in an account—so authentication happens before code runs and private stays the default for rapidly built internal tools in an AI-assisted development era.

OpenAI’s Codex is becoming one persistent agent across ChatGPT, editors, and terminals—with native Linux sandboxing via seccomp and Landlock—while I wait for the heavier new ChatGPT app on Windows to settle before chasing every release.

Artificial Analysis’s first Grok 4.6 results put it near the top of agentic benchmarks with far fewer turns and tokens than Claude Opus 5—matching why Grok became my daily coding driver over Claude’s wall-of-prose style.

Senko Rašić challenges the claim that code was never the hard part—hiring, craft, and buggy software say otherwise—arguing understanding why to build and how to build well both stay hard while AI shifts where scarce effort goes.
