When the open-source AI platform Hugging Face was hit by a cyberattack this July, it quickly became clear this was no ordinary breach because the hackers weren’t human: they were autonomous agents created by OpenAI researchers. Instadocs: AI Gone Wild reconstructs the breach as it’s never been seen before. Premieres October 12.

It's been more than a year since Tesla first launched its Robotaxi service in Austin. For @theinformation I charted the company's progress and how its strategy seems to be evolving — from fewer test drivers in Florida to "Golden Manual" driving and work on Grok's voice function in Teslas. The story also includes a cool graphic from my colleague Shane Burke, showing the status of Tesla's Robotaxi expansion in several regions across the US

At @theinformation, we aim to bring you the news that matters most. That's why @shqne just dropped the handiest map I've seen of the 300+ data center moratoriums enacted or in process across the US. If you care about this stuff, and so many in my timeline do, please check it out. And don't miss the dynamic popups that give detail on each one. Link in comments

Me and @nooralsibai wrote about how BuzzFeed is quietly publishing a bunch of AI-generated travel guide articles that feel WAY more cynical than what Jonah Peretti was describing when he announced BuzzFeed's use of AI futurism.com/buzzfeed-publis…
BuzzFeed Is Quietly Publishing Whole AI-Generated Articles, Not Just Quizzes

BuzzFeed Is Quietly Publishing Whole AI-Generated Articles, Not Just Quizzes

After announcing earlier this year a pivot to quizzes co-written by AI, BuzzFeed seems to have widened its purview to include articles.
