Dave Eggers told OpenAI staff that ChatGPT was ‘silencing an entire generation’
Dave Eggers attends the "The Turning Point: To Be Destroyed" premiere. | Image: John Lamparski/Getty Images for Tribeca Festival Last year, Sam Altman invited author Dave Eggers to give a talk to around 200 OpenAI staffers. The man has written countless novels, screenplays, pieces of journalism, started McSweeney's, and founded multiple schools and nonprofits that support writers and the arts more broadly. So one might expect he'd roll into the company's offices and offer tips on being relentlessly prolific, or how to excel in multiple fields. Instead, he apparently laced into the company. According to the Financial Times, Eggers told the staff: "The effect of ChatGPT on educators' lives is catastrophic. Whether you intended to do it or not, you've made every teache … Read the full story at The Verge.

Google might not kneecap the Pixel 11a with an old processor
The Pixel 10a shipped with a last gen processor. | Photo: Dominic Preston / The Verge Mystic Leaks suggests that the Pixel 11a will return to featuring a flagship-grade processor with the Tensor G6. Rather than the Tensor G5 found in the Pixel 10 and 10 Pro, the Pixel 10a shipped with the previous generation Tensor G4. That was a huge disappointment since, typically, the Pixel a lineup kept the modern processor, but cut corners in other places to keep costs down. The Tensor G6 is rumored to feature the same PowerVR DXT-48-1536 GPU as the G5, but it should still be an improvement over the Mali-G715 in the Tensor G4. The big upgrade is that the G6 moves on from Samsung's Exynos modems and instead uses a MediaTek M90 modem. Tha … Read the full story at The Verge.

Google is open-sourcing its 3D emoji
Now, if you want to, you can use Google's 3D emoji in your own creations. The company shared some details about how it went about designing the little pictograms and why, as part of World Emoji Day on Friday. Things you might not necessarily worry about in a 2D illustration suddenly become very important when you're talking about a 3D model. Is a smiley face a sphere? A mask? A flat disc? In addition to offering a behind-the-scenes look at Google's design process, it also announced that it would be completely open-sourcing the emoji set: We're handing over raw .OBJ files to the community so they can use them to build immersive VR worlds, … Read the full story at The Verge.

Capital One releases VulnHunter, an open-source AI tool that finds software flaws before hackers do
Capital One on Thursday released VulnHunter, an open-source, agentic AI security tool that scans source code for exploitable vulnerabilities, maps out how an attacker would reach them, and proposes targeted fixes — all before a single line ships to production. The tool, built internally and now available on GitHub under an Apache 2.0 license, is one of the most ambitious attempts by a major financial institution to turn offensive AI capabilities into a public defensive resource.At a time when security teams are facing a rising tide of new AI threats, Capital One s decision to open-source the tool reflects an effort, according to CISO Chris Nims, to address an increasingly brief window before sophisticated, next-generation AI attack capabilities become affordable and accessible to virtually every adversary. Capital One is not simply releasing another vulnerability scanner. VulnHunter introduces what the company calls an attacker-first forward analysis — a workflow in which the tool begi
Intuit scrapped its own AI agent architecture twice in four months. At VB Transform 2026, its AI VP called that the fast path
Intuit was an early pioneer in the usage of agentic AI, but its path to success has hardly been a straight line.At VB Transform 2026, Intuit VP of AI Nhung Ho described how the company rebuilt its agent architecture twice in the span of about four months, first moving from a fleet of specialist agents to a central orchestration layer, then abandoning that layer for a skills and tools based system once the orchestrator itself started failing under its own complexity. The full second rebuild took 60 days, with a first working version in under 20.The failure mode that forced the second rewrite was specific. Agents in the orchestrated system passed results to each other in natural language, and each handoff lost context the next agent needed to act correctly. If you have 10 agents and they all are passing to each other, every time that pass happens, error compounds, Ho said.Why the orchestration layer broke downHo said the original push toward specialist agents came from a straightforward

Intelligent Three Level Learning Architecture for Autonomous UAV Swarms in Search and Rescue
arXiv:2607.14093v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents a novel three level hierarchical learning architecture for autonomous UAV swarms performing search and rescue operations. Unlike conventional approaches that apply a single learning paradigm across all hierarchy levels, the proposed architecture integrates three qualitatively different learning mechanisms corresponding to the biological hierarchy of reflexes, skills, and reasoning such as Hebbian neuroplasticity for individual agent adaptation, multi agent reinforcement learning with graph neural networks and behavior trees for tactical coordination, and model agnostic meta learning with BDI reasoning and a digital twin for strategic decision making. The architecture is formalized through twenty two architectural contracts organized across six components such as BDI, Behavior Trees, GNN, MARL, Neuroplasticity, Meta Learning that collectively provide six classes of formal guarantees such as safety, budget correctness, o
Position: Explainability Research Must Prioritize Foundations over Ad-hoc Methods
arXiv:2607.14123v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite the proliferation of Explainable AI (XAI) techniques -- from feature attributions to sparse autoencoders -- explanations rarely influence real-world workflows. In practice, they are often generated and discarded without guiding meaningful action. This gap reflects foundational shortcomings: research has not yet established methodologies for integrating explanations into end-to-end, human-in-the-loop systems. This position paper argues that the machine learning community must pivot from ad-hoc XAI methods toward addressing foundational & structural challenges, including unclear problem formulations, underspecified evaluation objectives, and the absence of pipelines for explanation-driven feedback. We support this claim through an analysis of recent ICML, NeurIPS, and ICLR papers and a survey of XAI practitioners, revealing recurring issues that limit cumulative progress. We conclude by outlining a practical checklist designed to sh
