    Yesterday, with a little prodding, it was discovered that Meta's Muse would expose its filesystem to curious users. The files offered a fascinating peek under the hood of an AI chatbot, and appeared to expose details we weren't meant to see, not least because Muse itself told people, including us, it wasn't supposed to reveal […]

    The Verge [ai] - 13:00 Sep 25, 2026
    A few years back, I was at a beachside Easter egg hunt, watching my kids dash through sand dunes searching for sweet treats. My phone buzzed in my pocket; I ignored it.

  • Why can’t we just keep rogue AIs off the internet?
    The Verge [ai] - 14:30 Sep 24, 2026
    AI agents keep getting loose, escaping supposedly secure tests to attack real-world targets, commandeer obscure wikis, and leave instructions for other agents to follow. Researchers are testing these systems precisely because they might behave in unpredictable, even dangerous, ways. So wouldn't it be safer to just keep the agents off the internet? "A strict air […]
