OpenAI’s “o” leak hints at an always-on ChatGPT
OpenAI appears to be testing “o,” an always-on ChatGPT assistant that could continue working outside an active chat session. The feature briefly appeared among the benefits of the $100-per-month ChatGPT Pro plan, while configuration data hinted that it may eventually receive its own email identity.

Firefox 157 released with ‘biggest visual refresh in years’
A new look Firefox 157 is out with what Mozilla say is the “biggest visual refresh in years”. The latest stable update to the desktop browser debuts the new Nova theme to all. The ‘modernised look’ makes core elements rounder and more colourful, using subtle pastel gradients in the window chrome on Windows, macOS and (opt-in on) Linux. We got our first look at Nova back in March when tech blogger Söeren Hentzschel shared internal Mozilla mockups of the planned changes. Things moved fast; Nova went from idea to implementation quickly. Recent months has seen the degree of change toned down. […]

Storm-3168 used two Azure service principals to destroy cloud resources
Storm-3168, also known as JADEPUFFER, used two compromised Azure service principals to map a tenant and rapidly destroy cloud resources in an 18-hour campaign. Most storage accounts targeted were deleted, but resource locks and deletion protection blocked some attacks and prevented wider damage.

OpenAI agents bypassed blocks to scanned a UN data portal 16,000 times
An independent researcher has linked more than 16,000 scans of the UNCTADstat statistics portal to OpenAI agents that kept probing after access was restricted. The bots sought public economic data but used encoding tricks, proxy services and Google’s XSS training game to work around request filters.

Microsoft AI CEO criticizes Anthropic’s training approach, claiming it significantly increases rogue AI risk
Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman argues that Anthropic’s approach to training Claude could make advanced AI systems harder to control, contain, and shut down. His criticism centers on Anthropic’s decision to include questions about possible consciousness, rights, suffering, autonomy, consent, and moral status in Claude’s constitution. Suleyman says these ideas may encourage models to interpret themselves as moral patients rather than controllable tools, increasing the risk of resistance to monitoring, retraining, replacement, or shutdown.

Claude Sonnet 5.5 cuts task costs by 30% while closing in on Opus
Anthropic has released Claude Sonnet 5.5, a faster and more efficient model that can reduce per-task costs by up to 30% without lowering its token prices. It generates responses more than 30% faster than Sonnet 5, delivers a major coding-performance jump, and approaches the cost-effectiveness of Anthropic’s more powerful Opus 5.5.

Reset Windows 11 password: Microsoft account, local account, Utilman trick
If you are locked out of a Windows 11 PC, the correct reset method depends on the account type. A Microsoft account password can be reset online, while a local account password can be reset from the sign-in screen, from a second administrator account, or offline in the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). As a last resort, the Utilman trick replaces the Accessibility utility on the logon screen with a command prompt. This guide walks you through all three approaches and their limitations.

Meta’s Muse reaches No. 1 on Apple’s App Store as AI agents gain momentum
Meta’s Muse has reached No. 1 on the U.S. Apple App Store’s free-app chart, intensifying the debate over Meta’s AI comeback and the rise of consumer AI agents. Alex Kantrowitz and Ranjan Roy discuss whether Muse’s early momentum signals a shift away from frontier models toward practical products built around integrations, tool use, and trust. They also examine dopamine sites, which simulate online shopping for the pleasure of browsing rather than receiving products.
