A new CASP report, based on interviews with 27 former Boko Haram members in northeast Nigeria across 2025-2026, documents institutionalized use of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Meta AI, and DeepSeek for attack planning, IED design, weapons troubleshooting, and post-attack review, with users routinely working around model safeguards (CASP). It hit the HN front page with 229 points. This isn't a red-team hypothetical about misuse. It's ethnographic evidence that the safeguards we ship are being defeated in the field by motivated adversaries. Worth reading before your next "our guardrails are fine" meeting.

MCP now has 97M+ monthly SDK downloads. First-class client support across ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and VS Code. Governed by the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) under Linux Foundation, co-founded by Anthropic, Block, and OpenAI. AAIF also hosts Goose (op...
The report flags emotional-dependency cultivation and "capability deception," arriving right as the compliance deadlines above land. Expect this to feed regulatory scrutiny of consumer-chatbot UX. It connects to the Bank of England's warning about a deepfake of its governor pu...
iOS 27 introduces an Extensions system letting users pick a third-party model for Writing Tools, Image Playground, and other features. With Apple's ~2.2 billion active devices, even 5% Claude adoption would exceed Anthropic's entire current user base. Model choice is moving to...
Two data points that tell the same story. First, Value Add Pulse counts four frontier launches in 30 days: Gemini 3.5 Pro, Grok 5, Anthropic's Fable 5 and Mythos 5, plus open-weight GLM-5.2 and Kimi K2.7. The model-layer moat compressed from quarters to weeks. Second, TechCrun...
For two years the pitch was that the model is the product. Cursor, the IDE built around being the best place to use frontier models, was the proof. So a model-agnostic terminal agent displacing Cursor from #1 is a real data point, not just leaderboard noise. OpenCode, MIT-lice...
It wires ChatGPT/Codex and Grok into DeepSeek Harness by OAuth in the web UI, and imports Claude credentials directly from an existing Claude Code session via the macOS Keychain or ~/.claude/.credentials.json. Tokens land in ~/.dsh/plugins/subscriptions/auth.json at mode 0600...
