The web is now mostly bots. Cloudflare is rebuilding its defences around that

For the first time, bots generate more than half of all web traffic. Cloudflare Precursor, the company’s new tool, stops checking IDs at the door and starts watching how visitors behave once they are inside. The internet just passed a strange milestone. Bots now generate more web requests than people do. By Cloudflare’s count, automated […]

The EU has stopped sanctioning Russian hackers and started sanctioning the machine that makes them

The EU listed nine individuals and four entities, while the UK went further with 24, Politico reports. The language is what matters here. The EU’s High Representative Kaja Kallas denounced not a group but an ecosystem, spanning intelligence services, […]

Meta’s AI detector can’t catch its own cropped fakes

The Meta AI detector promises to catch Meta’s own fakes. Crop the image, and more than half slip straight past it. The tool was meant to be a fix for the deepfake problem, not an example of it. This week Meta previewed an image detector alongside Muse Image, its most advanced image generator yet, and […]

Zhipu’s founder says frontier AI should stay open to everyone. His own government may disagree.

The founder of China’s most prominent AI lab has made an unambiguous case for openness. Frontier AI should stay broadly accessible rather than controlled by a select few, Zhipu’s Tang Jie wrote in an internal memo reviewed by Bloomberg. His argument inverts the usual security logic. Real safety comes from broad participation, sharing, and oversight, he […]

Beijing flagged Claude Code as a back door, and Chinese coding tools are lining up to take its place

Chinese developers are moving to domestic coding tools, analysts told the South China Morning Post. China’s National Vulnerability Database, overseen by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, issued an alert this week. It claimed multiple versions of Claude Code contained […]

The US agency that defends federal networks did not have its own incident response playbook when it got hacked

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency revealed in a postmortem report on Friday that it did not have a prepared response plan for handling a cybersecurity incident when one hit in May. CISA staff “had to spend time building [a playbook] during the early stages of the incident,” the agency said, recommending that organisations […]

The Eval Stack: Proving the agents are right instead of claiming It

Most AI research tools point a language model at the web and trust the output. Saarth Shah built Sixtyfour around the opposite instinct: grade everything, ship only what improves the score. Saarth Shah keeps a scoreboard. Every build of Sixtyfour’s research agents is graded against questions a team of experts assembles by hand and checks […]

Anthropic built a tool that reads Claude’s unspoken thoughts. Then it caught the model scheming

Anthropic has built something close to a mind-reading tool for its own AI. What it found sits somewhere between a breakthrough and an unsettling party trick. Anthropic researchers now have the clearest view yet of what a large language model does while it thinks. In a paper published on the company’s Transformer Circuits site, they […]
