What counts as an acceptable use of AI has never been fuzzier. Steven Rosenbaum has decided that the real villain behind the bogus quotes in his book is a chatbot. Earlier this week, reported that, Rosenbaum's much-discussed book about how AI shapes reality, contains more than half a dozen fake or misattributed quotes . Rosenbaum pinned some of them on his use of AI. He claimed responsibility for the errors and said he was investigating what went wrong.

The company has published an update about Project Glasswing, a month after its launch. Anthropic has published an initial report for Project Glasswing, the cybersecurity initiative it launched in April that aims to prevent AI cyberattacks with, well, AI. The initiative is powered by Claude Mythos Preview, the company's unreleased model, which Anthropic says has already helped its partners find more than ten thousand vulnerabilities overall just a month after Glasswing's launch. In addition, it says most of its partners have each found hundreds of critical-or high-severity vulnerabilities in their software using the model. The company said that its partners' rate of bug-finding has increased by more than a factor of ten.

There's Never Been a Better Time to Study Computer Science Even as AI progresses, coders aren't doomed. It's a weird time to be studying computer science. Recent grads have a higher unemployment rate than those in just about every other major--yes, even philosophy. The internet is littered with rants from newly minted programmers who can't find work. On one such YouTube video, the top comment reads: "Your first mistake is not being born earlier."

Quantum'Jamming' Could Help Unlock the Mysteries of Causality To keep communications secure in a post-quantum world, cryptographers are digging down into the concept of cause and effect. For the past few decades, researchers have understood that quantum computers should eventually be able to crack the widely used codes that secure much of the digital world. To protect against this fate, they've spent years developing new codes that appear to be safe from future safecrackers armed with quantum computers. At the same time, they've also devised ingenious ways to use the rules of quantum mechanics to keep communications secure. But quantum mechanics, just like the "classical" mechanics that preceded it, is just a theory of nature.

Plus: Google publishes a live exploit for an unpatched flaw, the feds arrest two men accused of creating thousands of nonconsensual deepfake nudes, and more. A WIRED investigation this week found that a former Phoenix police officer who owns a company that offers firearms training to Immigration and Customs enforcement was involved in six shootings, four of which were deadly . Meanwhile, a New York police officer's lawyer has been banned from Madison Square Garden amid a lawsuit the cop filed over injuries sustained during a boxing match at an MSG venue.

The tech giant made thousands of engineers train their AI replacements--then fired them. When Meta engineer David Frenk posted an anti-AI farewell parody video in an internal message board, staff thought it perfectly captured shifts in company culture. Get your news from a source that's not owned and controlled by oligarchs. This week, Meta laid off 8,000 employees--10 percent of the company's staff--and reassigned another 7,000 to train AI models. Fear of the layoffs had been building around the company for weeks, compounded by the way that Meta has taken a sharp turn from a company built by coders to a company that has staked its future on AI.

'Hear them before I see them': How drones strike fear in Colombia Increasingly, armed groups in Colombia are turning to cheap, widely available drones to fight from a distance.
