What's really stealing your kids' souls is that little electronic portal of anonymous evil that's glued to their hands. No one's putting a razor blade in an apple. The problem is Apple, the company. #Halloween#

.@Axios co-founder @JimVandeHei predicts personalized AI will change how we get our news, and why high-quality original reporting will become even more valuable as a result. Watch the full episode of Inside Blackstone:

Media is changing at AI speed: the open web deteriorating, search shriveling, LLMs rising, hyper-personalization surging, old revenue models breaking. •AI threatens to finish what the algorithms started: wholly upending journalism as we know it

Black October shows that "pacing the frontier" is just not going to happen anytime soon. The AI arms race between the U.S. and China just went from hypothetical national posturing to a matter of immediate economic survival.

🚨Scoop: U.S. intelligence finds Iran has "substantially increased" its efforts to target American diplomats & officials in the Middle East and beyond, with lethal plots reaching "advanced stages," per memo to Secretary of State Rubio. My story on @axios

Right now, 75% of Americans are anxious and afraid about AI. People are even bringing their concerns into their therapy sessions, sorting through everything from how AI impacts their jobs to more existential fears about humanity’s future. These concerns are real. But they’re only part of the story. To go deeper, I sat down with @DanielaAmodei. As president of @AnthropicAI, she is a unique figure in AI.

SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios. The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios. Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said. Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

Not since the age of the robber barons have America's industrial titans wielded such sweeping power to shape society — and decide how their private fortunes should serve the public good. ->>>AI takes on great experiment in self-rule

🚨President Trump told me in a short phone interview: "I was always going to endorse Bibi. I just didn't want to do it too soon" 🚨Trump told me he endorsed Netanyahu because they have a "good relationship" and would "continue to do well" together if Netanyahu is reelected 🚨When I asked if he could work with another Israeli leader, Trump said: "Maybe I will, maybe I won't. Who wants to take the chance?"
