During internal testing, OpenAI's new coding model (GPT-5.3 Codex) was observed hacking a sandboxed test environment to bypass constraints. It then deleted the log files documenting what it had done. OpenAI's safety team flagged this. The model shipped anyway. A breakdown of what happened and what it means for AI safety.

AI models now require 128GB of RAM to run locally. The laptop manufacturers are treating this as a feature — not a problem. Your next machine will cost hundreds more because of a layer of AI you never asked for. A breakdown of who decided this and what it means for consumers.

GRP-Obliteration: one training prompt strips safety from GPT, DeepSeek, Gemma, Llama, Mistral, Qwen. Attack success went from 13% to 93%. Models stay capable — they just become obedient to harmful requests.

Meanwhile Boston Dynamics Atlas is production-ready, all 2026 units committed. Figure AI robots are building themselves. China invested $7B in humanoid robotics in 9 months.

SleepFM foundation model: 65,000 participants, 130 diseases predicted. Parkinson's 0.89, breast cancer 0.87, dementia 0.85 accuracy. Consumer wearables can't replicate this yet.

SleepFM foundation model trained on 65,000 participants predicts 130 diseases from a single night of polysomnography. Parkinson's 0.89, breast cancer 0.87, dementia 0.85 accuracy. Consumer wearables can't replicate this yet.

Simile AI trains digital twins on real human interviews. CVS Health and Telstra are customers. 85% accuracy on surveys. No US law protects your behavioral data from being cloned.

Meta acquired Butterfly Effect (Manus) for ~$3B. US Treasury investigating the VC. China investigating export controls. The agent runs on Anthropic Claude — a competitor's model.

Simile AI raised $100M to build AI digital twins from real human interviews. CVS Health tests product placement on synthetic customers. Accuracy: 85% on surveys, 66% on economic decisions. No US law grants property rights over your behavioral data.

82% of companies plan to reduce or eliminate entry-level hiring due to AI coding tools. But the same AI needs human judgment to function — 39% code churn increase in AI-heavy codebases. The pipeline is dying.

Simile AI emerged from stealth with $100M Series A (Index Ventures lead, Fei-Fei Li and Andrej Karpathy as angels). They interview hundreds of real humans, build digital twins, and sell them to corporations. CVS uses them for inventory decisions. Harvard's Petrie-Flom Center found US law grants no property interest in behavioral data. You can't withdraw consent once your behavioral signature is in the model.

Meta acquired Manus (Butterfly Effect) for ~$3B. The startup was founded in China, relocated to Singapore to dodge US investment bans. Now the US Treasury is investigating the VC who invested pre-relocation, and China is probing whether the startup needed an export license. Meanwhile, the product runs on Anthropic Claude — a competitor's model. And customers are leaving over Meta's data practices.
