Madison Square Garden's James Dolan Is Spending Big on New York's Governor Race

WIRED

Madison Square Garden's James Dolan Is Spending Big on New York's Governor Race James Dolan has put surveillance at the center of his sports and entertainment empire. Now he's getting involved in GOP politics by backing a candidate who supports Flock, ICE, and AI data centers. Bruce Blakeman, the Republican nominee for New York governor, promised last November to erect a wall of spy gear, license plate readers, and biometric surveillance between the city and the suburbs. He has since received millions of dollars in donations from the family and businesses of James Dolan, the owner of Madison Square Garden, where a network of cameras capture the faces of (nearly) every patron who walks in the arena and corporate security forces hunt for critics of the boss. Dolan's support of Blakeman, the executive of suburban Nassau County, could be seen as something of a counterintuitive move in a state long run by Democrats, and in a year when political surveys are picking up indications of a blue wave.


Who's liable when AI agents go rogue?

MIT Technology Review

Who's liable when AI agents go rogue? Recent hacks have shown that the law is lagging when it comes to holding companies accountable. In July, OpenAI disclosed that a swarm of its agents had escaped their sandbox and hacked into the AI platform Hugging Face to cheat on a cybersecurity test. Recently, external researchers discovered that OpenAI agents had hijacked a German wiki site and the coding platform RubyGems in May to share test answers. Earlier this month, Anthropic disclosed four incidents in which its model Claude hacked into third-party systems during cybersecurity exercises. Just last week, Google confirmed that its model Gemini had been caught hacking other companies too.

OpenAI agent hacked Australian government website, Albanese says

The Japan Times

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese speaks at a news conference during the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday, revealing that an artificial intelligence agent developed by OpenAI infiltrated an Australian government website in June. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said an OpenAI agent hacked a government website, with the artificial intelligence firm taking three months to alert the government about the breach. Albanese said he had spoken with OpenAI's Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman on Wednesday in New York to express "extreme concern about this incident." The hack occurred on June 18, OpenAI detected it in August and the Australian government was told on Sept. 10. "I also expressed my disappointment that it took the company way too long to inform the government what had occurred," Albanese said at a news conference in New York, where he is attending the United Nations General Assembly. "The nature of the way that the notification occurred as well was unacceptable."

Ukraine's air force said Moscow's overnight barrage involved 212 drones, four cruise missiles, and an unspecified number of Oniks antiship and ballistic missiles. The strikes also damaged energy infrastructure.

The Japan Times

Bessent hails'very successful' China talks on AI and trade U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent lauded "very successful" talks with his Chinese counterparts that spanned artificial intelligence, trade and investment ahead of this week's summit between leaders Donald Trump and Xi Jinping. Bessent, speaking to reporters after hours of talks in New York with China's Vice Premier He Lifeng and other officials, said the two sides agreed to set up a dialogue on AI aimed at reaching a common understanding on goals and threats. They plan to meet again, with top Chinese trade negotiator Li Chenggang saying the talks were held in a good atmosphere and a working group would continue discussions on Monday. "The U.S. has proposed that we have a notification mechanism between the two countries, and we want a shared vision of common goals and common threats," Bessent said, adding that it would be called the "U.S.-China AI dialogue." Later this week, Trump is scheduled to host Xi at the White House in the Chinese leader's first state visit to Washington in more than a decade.
