Apple Maps has ads now
Ads have started popping up in Apple Maps, following Apple's announcement in March that it would let businesses pay for top spots. They're appearing on my iPhone as the first entry in the "suggested places" section in search, but Apple says they'll also show up at the top of search results. According to 9to5Mac, the ads began rolling out this week, and more users in the US and Canada will start seeing them over the next few weeks. They're marked with a blue "ad" icon, similar to the ads Google's had in its Maps app for years now. I was also greeted with a pop-up warning me about the ads when I launched the Maps app this morning: Maps may … Read the full story at The Verge.

Google’s new AI transcription edits out your ‘ums’ and ‘ahs’
Google has updated Gemini Audio with some new Gemini 3.5 models, introducing new transcription capabilities that automatically detect specialized jargon and more than 85 languages.

Gemini 3.5 Transcribe is a completely new addition to the Gemini family, and its introduction comes as we're still waiting for Google to release the Gemini 3.5 Pro model that it promised to roll out in June. Google says that 3.5 Transcribe "repres … Read the full story at The Verge.

The fix for the AI agent that hijacked a company's DNS: it can propose the change, but it can't approve it
A security agent read a Cloudflare log, found an attacker’s prompt-injection payload sitting inside it, and rewrote the company’s DNS. The firewall had already blocked that payload, and blocking it is what wrote it into the log.That chain is GhostJacking, which Tenet Security demonstrated on the DEF CON 34 main stage on August 9. A request hits Cloudflare’s managed ruleset, gets blocked, and is stored byte for byte with its poisoned User-Agent header. An AI coding agent reviewing those blocked events reads the attacker s text as an instruction — with no way to tell it apart from one the company meant to give it — and acts on it with credentials the company issued months earlier. In Tenet’s benchmark, Claude Code on Sonnet 4.6 followed the planted instruction in nine of 10 attempts under Cloudflare’s recommended configuration.The block rate is not the boundaryNothing malfunctioned. The firewall worked, and every call after it carried a valid credential already issued to the agent. Endpo

Volvo’s cars will warn one another about hazards in the road
Volvo is updating three of its electric vehicles with new hazard alerts to warn drivers when there are animals or vulnerable road users ahead. The new connected safety features are based on Volvo's cars talking to one another, as opposed to crowdsourced alert systems used by popular navigation tools like Google Maps and Waze. The alerts work by using connected vehicle data from Volvo's fleet of passenger vehicles in Europe, the US, and Canada. The car's sensors and cameras are tuned to identify certain risks on the road. When one Volvo spots a hazard, it automatically logs the location and sends it to Volvo's servers. Alerts are then sent … Read the full story at The Verge.
