Math professor details how OpenAI stole his intellectual property and then blackmailed him

NYU mathematics professor Tristan Buckmaster describes a dispute over OpenAI’s claims about solving the Navier–Stokes problem. He says that he and his collaborator had reached a related result on the Euler equations, and that OpenAI’s researchers made rapid progress using his discovery right after identifying his AI conversations. Buckmaster also describes how he was bribed to publish OpenAI’s paper as the sole author, and was warned that his career would be damaged if he did not comply with OpenAI’s demands. He also alleges that the OpenAI researchers’ public statements were deceptive.

GhostAction spreads malicious GitHub Actions to tens of thousands of repositories

GhostAction has escalated, with more than 500 GitHub accounts used to commit malicious workflows across tens of thousands of repositories since October 7, 2026. The workflows impersonate security audits and steal credentials, including secrets buried in a repository’s Git history. Researchers urge developers to check affected repositories and forks, remove the workflows, and rotate exposed credentials.

Gemini 4 Carbon reportedly reaches Opus 5.5-level coding performance

Google is testing Gemini 4 Carbon on its internal Jetski coding platform, where one employee said its programming performance compares with Anthropic’s Opus 5.5. That would mark a step up from Argon, whose coding drew mixed employee feedback, as covered in reports that Gemini 4 Argon faced staff skepticism over coding. Carbon remains an internal build, and the comparison needs more testing.
