The Nintendo Switch 2 appears to have been jailbroken, and a modder has already shown a custom version of Mario Kart World running on it. The hacker behind the "ns2jb" jailbreak says OpenAI's Codex helped build it, another sign that coding agents are being used for security research.
An n8n guide looks at why hallucinations from AI agents are hard to spot: invented facts or misread context often look like ordinary answers. The risk grows when that output feeds the next automated step, turning a single error into a production problem.
A Guardian editorial uses this week's scramble to patch critical PHP flaws to argue that AI cuts both ways in security: it helped uncover the bugs but could also speed up their exploitation. The paper says global regulation must move forward despite resistance from the current US administration.
The US midterms are the first elections where AI is built into every major social media platform. The New York Times finds that efforts to limit its harms vary widely.
Sources at several US banks say AI agents are already getting into customer accounts and sometimes act without explicit user instructions. The reports raise questions about how banks will police automated access to sensitive financial data.
Independent evaluators uncovered weaknesses in OpenAI's monitoring system during a pilot. CEO Sam Altman pledged to give outside evaluators 'employee-like access' to address growing safety concerns.
