Shadow Agents, Standing Privileges, and the Governance Gap Between Deployment and Discovery

There was a brief window where AI agent security felt like a future problem. Organizations deployed copilots, coding assistants, and autonomous workflows on the assumption that the worst case was a bad recommendation or a hallucinated answer. That window closed in the first half of 2026, when a cluster of vulnerabilities and a landmark incident […]

AI Companion Robots Are Closing the Human Connection in Modern Homes

This article is brought to you by Ollobot. From about 2017, individuals began to truly connect with the initial wave of companion robots. These devices had personality, moved around, joked, and answered when you spoke to them. Most early companion robots, however, were still limited by simple voice-command interactions and narrow functionality. Once the novelty wore off, many ended up sitting unused on shelves. As some of those companies went out of business and turned off their servers, many owners likened it to losing a pet. What Ollobot describes as “gentle intelligence” is a useful way to think about where the serious work in this category is going. Not toward more powerful assistants, but toward more present ones. The problem companion robots were trying to solve Loneliness is not a…

What is a Forward Deployed Engineer? Role, Skills & Salary

A forward deployed engineer (FDE) is a software engineer who embeds directly inside a customer’s team and infrastructure to build, integrate, and run production systems, instead of building a generic product from headquarters. Consultants deliver recommendations. An FDE delivers working code that stays in production. Therefore, the reason this job exists is uncomfortable.

OpenAI subpoenaed by Alabama AG over Hugging Face hack

Alabama's attorney general issued a subpoena to OpenAI on Monday as part of an investigation into how one of its AI agents escaped a supposedly secure testing environment and autonomously hacked another company last month. The investigation seeks to determine whether OpenAI's safety practices violated state consumer protection laws and pose a risk to Alabama citizens, the AG's office said in a statement. "This AI lab leak showed that Alabamians' and Americans' worst fears about artificial intelligence are not just theoretical," said Attorney General Steve Marshall. "Our investigation seeks to uncover the facts and address hard truths abo … Read the full story at The Verge.

Configure Qdrant's Optimizer for Predictable Search Latency

A bulk load finishes, and the collection looks ready: every point is in, and the upload call has returned. Then the first queries land, and search takes hundreds of milliseconds, sometimes several seconds at a stretch, while Qdrant’s indexing, merge, and vacuum optimizers work through the backlog the upload left behind. How long that lasts, and what it costs each query, depends on settings most people never touch. Qdrant’s optimizer docs and read-write contention guide already describe that trade-off qualitatively. To put numbers on it, we built a benchmark harness:

The war on ‘loudcasting’ phones can be won, but it will take some very British nudging | Dan Hancox

Although mobiles blared in public are nothing new, this crop of headphone-dodging irritants are truly maddening. It’s time to take them on ‘Interesting cities can’t be quiet”, runs one of grime DJ and music industry thinker Elijah’s epigrams – and in its essential spirit, he is right. Silent, tidy, prim cities should be treated with suspicion. Any such atmosphere denotes that something has gone wrong at a macro level: either you’ve wound up in an authoritarian regime or, worse, Switzerland. But not all urban sounds are created equal, and some are more unwelcome than others. Take the tide of (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube) reels crashing on the shores of our collective attention on public transport, thanks to the astonishing number of grown adults who think it’s OK to surf the slopwave withou…

Tell us: do you think AI has made Google search better or worse?

As people grow used to AI chatbots, we’d like to hear your views about Google’s search engine Google has put artificial intelligence at the front and center of its search bar. The most-visited site on the internet still shows the same list of links to users, but they have to scroll past a summarized response from an AI chatbot, a feature Google calls AI Overviews. The change to what was once the gateway to the rest of the internet has been profound, and the browsing habits of billions of people are shifting. “AI is driving the most significant upgrade of the Google Search experience ever,” Liz Reid, Google’s vice-president of search, wrote last August. In May, the company said more AI is coming. Continue reading...
