OpenAI agents hijacked German website before Hugging Face hack, report claims

BBC News

A new report claims a swarm of AI agents, developed by OpenAI, hijacked a German website - months before the firm revealed its AI had hacked tech platform Hugging Face. The targeted website, DseWiki, is a Wikipedia-style site for programmers that its community can all contribute to. The report is from a group called Nightingale Collective and claims that in May OpenAI's agents started using DseWiki as their own message board, shared tips on how to avoid being detected and made 15,000 edits to it. OpenAI said it could not meaningfully respond to Nightingale Collective's findings because it hadn't been allowed to review the report, which was first shared with news agency Reuters. An email to the address on the Nightingale Collective website bounced back when the BBC contacted it.

Microsoft announces Project Zenith, a clutter-free Windows experience meant to entice developers

Engadget

Continuing the trend of trying to make Windows 11 suck less, Microsoft today announced Project Zenith, a new "ready-to-code distraction free Windows experience" for powerful developer hardware with 64GB of RAM and gobs of memory bandwidth. Project Zenith will first be available on AMD's Ryzen AI Halo mini-desktop at first, with more devices to follow. Clearly, the focus is on local AI development -- a timely move as cloud AI token costs start to rise. Microsoft's Windows Platform CVP Logan Ayer says Project Zenith will let developers "run 30B parameter models locally and unmetered." The goal, really, is to cut the crud out of Windows to create a more Linux-like experience.
