  This NVidia OpenShell thing is wild insofar as I've never seen a GitHub repo get so much press. That's what the "Open Agent Safety Platform" is. Well that and some proprietary gear that it's "optimized" for.

  I have seen this "writeup" of the new Citrix 0-days but there's no correlation with anything, no sourcing (Citrix has not released a patch to diff), so I'm very skeptical. https://sh3llc0d3.com/blog/inside-the-netscaler-zero-day-siege-chained-pre-auth-rces-weaponized-in-the-wild-watchtowr-disclosure

  Sorry, but I think I'll pass. I don't need to know how good the models are at CTFs; we just had a bunch of news stories about that.

  The unsealed motion for summary judgment in the NYT/OpenAI/Microsoft case is a banger. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/09/microsoft-exec-called-ai-scraping-the-largest-theft-of-labor-in-human-history Full document: https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/News-orgs-v-OpenAI-Microsoft-Memo-9-17-26.pdf

  "No weapons in space" was one of those inviolable laws of late 20th-century geopolitics. It was a guiding principle for our space program until, I dunno, we decided the Air Force needed more money or something. That's glib, but this is an ill wind nonetheless. https://apnews.com/article/space-weapons-air-force-5a2a0ada771daaf4fbef0991d8c09259

  This is by no means a new article (June 2026), but this lengthy paper details a reimagining of the case against AI intellectual property theft as unfair business practice rather than strict copyright infringement. Along the way, it's a stellar review of US copyright caselaw. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=6999539 The gist is that, similar to how one news agency can't just rip off another's reporting, AI constitutes an unfair free-riding off of creators' wor...

  Don't have anywhere else to really post this but I'm trying to get back to this part of me. At night I walked in forest over hills through shallow water going nowhere, but seeking solitude seeking silence seeking something I called grace Even in rural Pennsylvania it was always too loud— certainly among others— to hear it so I wandered away from light and noise into clutches of dark trees where I always felt home I looked starward chest aching I begged the sky and the earth and...

  Love that I can see the entire trajectory of the watermarking project from the LLM makers. Claude's detection system requires a key only they possess. Seems like that sets up a situation in which every provider does likewise and we're all stuck paying everyone for their proprietary detection service—until someone does an economy of scale thing and charges one rate for a bundle deal. Which will of course result in a closure of the APIs. And round and round we go.

  I see the fear mongering around "open source"* models has kicked into high gear. https://www.cybersecuritydive.com/news/openai-hugging-face-hack-ai-models-black-hat/827167/ * They mean open-weights† †They really mean "Chinese"

  Great work from @securingdev's team here: Naturally, these things are better at destroying than repairing. The average success rate for generating a patch that fully resolved the vulnerability (without materially changing application behavior) was just 26.0%. https://1password.com/blog/why-ai-generated-patches-still-require-human-review
