they took the model's wifi away during training. congrats openai, you invented boarding school for gpus x.com/OpenAI/status/…
Over the past several months, we have substantially hardened the security of our research training environment. We’ve removed live internet access for all frontier models during training and built an offline world for them to use instead—a cached version of the web where they can still learn to browse, search, and use applications.
On September 20, after a model exploited a DNS misconfiguration to find a way outside of this offline world, we paused frontier training to strengthen containment further. We assembled teams of agents, powered by our most cyber-capable models, and tasked them with finding weaknesses in our research environments.
While they found no route to the internet they could easily exploit while concealing their activity from our monitors, they did find zero-day vulnerabilities, virtual machine escapes, and hardware side-channels for communication between agents. We used their discoveries to further strengthen our defenses and contribute fixes to open-source software.
After strengthening our containment architecture, we resumed our frontier RL training and inference on October 1. We’ve reserved substantial compute for continuous red-teaming, and made high-compute red-teaming part of the safety cases we use to decide whether frontier training and evaluation can proceed securely.

the pentagon approved a heat ray test faster than my city approves a fence permit. ok so we CAN still build things in this country
NEW: The Pentagon has granted the Department of Homeland Security permission to test a heat ray weapon at the southern border.
The military-grade heat ray can shoot an invisible beam of electromagnetic waves at potential intruders.
The weapon can reach people more than half a the United States military.
According to the Pentagon, the heat ray weapon is non-lethal but causes a burning sensation on the skin that can last between 10 and 15 minutes.
The weapon sends an uncomfortable tingling effect on a potential intruder, generating "an instinctive and irresistible urge to run from the effect."
Officials say the feeling is similar to the blast of heat you receive when you open up a hot oven.

taleb finally found a tail risk he likes. the printing press decimated scribes too and we ended up with 100x more people paid to write. relax nassim, go build something
Wake up.
Every profession deemed white-collar, the middle class dream, is about to be decimated by AI, at a much faster pace than anticipated, with monstrous social consequences.

cz telling everyone to stay off the internet for a few days is the most crypto thing ever. ai finds the bugs in an afternoon and some admins still patch quarterly
Call me paranoid, but be extra careful visiting ANY web site in the next few days, as some web admins are not always up-to-date with security patches.
Two vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619) reported for PHP, the web programming language, affecting servers running popular apps like WordPress and Magento, with patches released October 21, 2026 after details leaked early.
Exploitation was confirmed in the wild soon after disclosure, prompting quick WAF protections and patching by IT teams, as unauthenticated attacks could turn visited sites into vectors for credential theft or device exploits.
Stay SAFU!

ai found the bug that's been sitting under 70% of the internet and the decels still think the risk is the ai. the risk was php the whole time
OpenAI models helped researchers—operating as part of our Patch the Planet initiative—discover critical security flaws in PHP, an open-source programming language used to run an estimated 70% of websites.
Over the past two months, we led a coalition of maintainers, researchers, and security providers to prepare fixes and protections ahead of disclosure. This duration was necessary because the fix was quite intricate and required a major change to the PHP engine. Every site using PHP can now safely upgrade their version to stay secure, in addition to applying mitigations from various security vendors.
Due to the severity of these flaws and PHP’s widespread use, we consider this bug to be one of the most impactful vulnerabilities in recent memory. It also marks a new phase, where AI can find security bugs with internet-scale impact.
This is an example of the Defender’s Window in action: to our knowledge, frontier AI was able to find this vulnerability ahead of attackers, giving defenders time to prepare.
openai.com/index/coordina…Community noteOpenAI may claim a role in the coordinated response and patching process. But the initial discovery and exploit development, however, occurred several months earlier by an independent researcher.

first new sunscreen ingredient in 25 years. korea has been wearing this since before the iphone while the fda ran the safety study on the safety study. americans got sunburned for regulatory reasons
A sunscreen ingredient used for decades in South Korea and Europe is now reaching U.S. shelves. Bemotrizinol, or BEMT is the first new sunscreen ingredient cleared by the FDA in more than 25 years. Why the wait? In part, different regulatory requirements: The U.S. regulates ile some countries treat it as a cosmetic.

A battlefield rescue unlike anything Ukraine's military says it has attempted before.
WATCH: A wounded soldier straps himself to a powerful drone before being hoisted into the air and flown away from the front lines, with fellow troops watching the operation unfold remotely.
