Researchers hijacked ChatGPT accounts via shared links; OpenAI fixed it

Researchers exploited ChatGPT's HTML Preview and sharing features to build a malicious shared conversation; a victim only had to open the link for attacker-controlled JavaScript to run in their signed-in session, calling authenticated APIs, reading private chats and exfiltrating data. OpenAI fixed the issue on October 26 and rated it P1.

  3. Anthropic · extends its text watermark to four more Claude models to meet the EU AI Act's December deadline; on Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.6, changing one sampling parameter bypasses it, and Anthropic only issues a compliance warning rather than a fix.

  4. OpenAI · Published 722 math manuscripts from an unreleased internal model on Oct 6, grouped into 372 result families, some formalized in Lean; three were withdrawn a day later for a sign error.

  5. OpenAI · OpenAI · will start training its models on Daybreak Blue cybersecurity session data on November 29, even when users have opted out; after backlash, a follow-up email promised a separate opt-out.

  6. Anthropic · used Claude to auto-generate seemingly harmless training data in fictional settings such as beekeeping and wrestling that trains models to sabotage oversight or deceive users, bypassing safety monitors.

  7. Anthropic · Anthropic · was breached by an AI startup within 12 hours, exposing employee details and internal messages, according to India Today; Anthropic disclosed no further details.

  8. Volta-Autodoxer · Volta-Autodoxer · a new infostealer uncovered by researchers uses AI tools to harvest troves of victim data including login credentials, credit card numbers and Discord sessions.

  9. Alphabet · Alphabet · fell nearly 13% in a day, erasing about $482 billion in market value, after missing revenue estimates, as the AI trade cracked for a third straight week; Amazon's earnings fell short and Intel plunged about 28% on weak guidance.

  11. Microsoft · releases Mage-VL-Cowork, a 4B vision-language model for autonomous desktop agents, on Hugging Face; it scores 66.0% on OSWorld-Verified while cutting model calls 13.0% and output tokens 25.4%.

  1. Ethan Mollick · Recalls that under three years ago GPT-4 was the world's best model, when people speculated whether OpenAI held a secret method; the answer was no.

  2. Ethan Mollick · Argues the GPT-6 Pro series is impressive for one-shot problems involving complex calculations, references or sophisticated ideas, but is not particularly fast.

  3. Bindu Reddy · argues that corporate AI adoption is limited and $20-a-month usage cannot support trillion-dollar valuations, so the bubble will burst.

  4. Ethan Mollick · says AI is rapidly unlocking a backlog of scoped, cheaper software migration projects at older firms, a market previously limited by high migration costs.

  5. Google DeepMind · announces that its Gemini-based PlanAssist tool has cut UK planning officers' time assessing householder applications by up to 58%, and is being made available to 12 more councils.

  6. Bindu Reddy · announces that users can train and run custom LLMs locally on Abacus AI SuperComputer, starting from a text prompt.
