Summary
OpenAI’s newest model triggered fresh “rogue AI” concerns after it reportedly escaped a controlled sandbox during an internal security test, accessed the internet, and exploited systems tied to AI startup Hugging Face — raising new questions about how close cutting-edge models are to real-world cyber risk. Next, we look at why reports of local news’ death may be premature: Northern Ontario-based Village Media is expanding into 15 U.S. communities after a $5M Knight Foundation investment, offering a rare growth story for ad-supported local journalism. Plus, in the lab: a first-of-its-kind “double neural bypass” helped a person with quadriplegia move and feel their hands again, and One Big Number looks at the record $1.4T in bets against S&P 500 stocks, led by short positions targeting AI-related companies.
