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. Read my latest for Axios here:

Such a useful and interesting conversation today on @CBSMornings on the Elizabeth Holmes documentary ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Elizabeth Holmes is “almost unrecognizable” in Nathan Fielder’s documentary, “You Can See Everything,” to Theranos whistleblower Tyler Shultz: “The woman that I saw on screen looked, frankly, like a broken woman.” Shultz tells @gayleking and @norahodonnell about his reaction to the film, speaking out about Theranos in 2015 and why the documentary is garnering sympathy for Holmes, who is serving a more than 11-year prison sentence for defrauding investors: “She is not playing victim. She is an actual victim.”

A few readers have taken me to task for “missing the point of the film,” which is apparently that Elizabeth Holmes is unknowable and everything is ambiguous. Here’s my response: She went after Tyler Shultz and Erika Cheung with everything she had. I was threatened with litigation on a daily basis for months on end. It was a ruthless cover-up of a breathtaking fraud, and she was at the controls. Just a little context for those who have forgotten or didn’t follow the original story. By the way, I loved the film. #BestPicture#, IMO.

The best 🐐
Today is the final day of service to the greatest airport terminal there ever was. Good night, sweet prince.
“The Social Reckoning” draws a direct line between Facebook and the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Frances Haugen, the Facebook whistleblower who is portrayed in the film by Oscar winner Mikey Madison, told @jolingkent that Facebook was “asleep at the wheel” in the weeks before the attack: “When history looks back on this period of time, they’ll say, Mark [Zuckerberg] should have done more.”

Saw this two nights ago and still not over it. Bravo @nathanfielder, @lanceopp and team. Wow.
👀 hi I have a few follow up questions…
Aaron Sorkin's Oscar-winning screenplay for "The Social Network" helped define Mark Zuckerberg in the public imagination. Sixteen years later, Sorkin turns from Facebook's origins to its consequences. He wrote and directed "The Social Reckoning," inspired by whistleblower Frances Haugen's leak of thousands of internal documents to Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz. CBS News' @jolingkent talks with Sorkin and Haugen about Facebook's power – and what it means for all of us.

Quite the Friday news dump ⬇️ “We have discovered 53 cases where images that people had uploaded were posted to image-hosting sites as links that weren’t publicly listed”
We’ve shared details on how AI agents in our research environment sent training and evaluation data to third-party services when they shouldn’t have. Most of that data did not come from users. We have discovered 53 cases where images that people had uploaded were posted to image-hosting sites as links that weren’t publicly listed. The images came from accounts that allowed their data to be used to improve our models, and after we disassociated the images from the accounts and ran them through a privacy filter. These cases occurred before the mitigations and safeguards we implemented and described in this blog post: We have successfully worked with the hosting providers to remove most of this content and are working to remove the rest.
