Adaptive Security is an AI-powered platform that simulates deepfake and impersonation attacks across email, voice, and messaging to expose weak controls. It also delivers personalized training and policy enforcement to help employees detect and resist AI-driven social engineering threats.
Cloudflare One is the first SASE platform to support standards-compliant post-quantum hybrid ML-KEM encryption across all major on-ramps and off-ramps, including its Secure Web Gateway, Zero Trust, and WAN use cases. The upgrade extends post-quantum protection to Cloudflare IPsec (now in closed beta) and the Cloudflare One Appliance (GA in version 2026.2.0), defending enterprise traffic against harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks ahead of NIST's 2030 deadline for deprecating RSA and ECC. The implementation follows the draft-ietf-ipsecme-ikev2-mlkem specification rather than proprietary approaches, and is available at no extra cost.
South Korean police charged two teens for breaching Seoul's Ttareungyi bike rental system in 2024, accessing data on 4.62 million of 5 million users, including contact and personal details. Investigators say the pair met on Telegram, hacked while still in middle school, and intended to profit, though there's no evidence the data was sold.
Mitiga observed an attacker exploiting a path transversal vulnerability to overwrite prod training data and trigger anomalous model behavior, planting a false reality in prod AI systems. Read the

Firefox 148 introduces the standardized Sanitizer API and the new setHTML() method to make inserting untrusted HTML safer by default, reducing XSS risk without major code rewrites.
RoguePilot is a GitHub Codespaces flaw where hidden prompt injections in issues silently hijack Copilot, exfiltrating privileged GITHUB_TOKENs and enabling AI‑mediated supply-chain attacks.
Financial content on Reddit is exploding. During 2025 tax season, personal tax conversations hit 379M VIEWS, with high-intent traffic spiking 71% around Tax Day.
Organic search is losing share as Google increasingly favors paid placements. From January 2025 to January 2026, classic organic clicks fell sharply across major verticals. Text ads gained 7-13 points, and paid clicks in product categories like headphones rose from 16% to 36%. Google AI Overviews expanded across SERPs, but zero-click rates stayed mostly stable. The shift is toward paid rather than fewer clicks overall. Brands are boosting paid spend to offset organic declines, creating a self-reinforcing cycle of competition.
Mass-market paperbacks are disappearing across the US. They were once cheap and portable, making reading accessible to working-class Americans. Popularized from the 1930s, they were sold in supermarkets and non-bookstore outlets. The format offered affordability and portability that helped democratize literature. Sales have declined steadily over the decades. E-readers and smartphones have replaced their convenience. Readers now value books as aesthetic objects. This shift limits low-cost access for young and lower-income readers.
Ads placed beside unsafe content harm brand perception. In one case, favorability fell up to 19% and trust in a telecom brand dropped 17.8% when its ad appeared next to antisemitic material. Even hearing about the placement lowered opinions by 17.7%. Immediate brand statements raised trust by 18.1%, while delays weakened recovery. Tight placement controls and rapid response protect trust.
LinkedIn events can drive strong B2B leads when planned early, promoted across channels, and followed by structured outreach. Launch 2-4 weeks ahead, reinforce value with regular updates and polls, then repurpose the recording into 5-10 short clips and practical resources to extend reach. Segment attendees by engagement and use automated personalized follow-up to sustain momentum. Weak messaging and poor follow-up cause warm leads to fade.

Claude Skills can function as a paid ads assistant that accelerates specialist work. These mini agents activate automatically in chat and chain together to deliver targeted outputs beyond generic prompts. The system was trained to score ads, scan competitors, and generate creative using a six-factor weighted framework. It covered elements like hook strength and message clarity, grounded in principles from David Ogilvy and Claude Hopkins. It generated an 11-page analysis of 110 competitor ads in minutes.
Google's Preferred Sources is a personalization feature that allows logged-in users to prioritize specific publishers within the Top Stories section. Available globally for English-language queries that trigger Top Stories, it lets users select preferred domains or subdomains, which can then appear in a dedicated “From your sources” box and within standard results. For publishers facing reduced visibility from AI summaries and zero-click search, the feature offers a way to strengthen loyalty and increase repeat exposure. While Google does not yet provide analytics to track preferred source performance, publishers can drive adoption through on-site CTAs, newsletter messaging, social promotion, and visible follow buttons.
OpenTable is expanding beyond reservations with OpenTable Media, a new ad business built around its dining audience and transaction data. Advertisers can run onsite display and newsletter ads, target diners offsite using aggregated insights, and host branded experiences within its 60K-restaurant network. Early pilots with Diageo, Ghirardelli, and Cobra Beer validated demand as brand inquiries accelerated over the past two years.
The real risk is not AI replacing jobs but individuals staying passive while a brief window rewards those who go fully AI native. Instead of debating flaws, use AI as the default engine for writing, coding, and problem-solving so the gap between idea and execution collapses. The advice is to directly build a rough version of your company's core workflow with AI, retry tasks as models rapidly improve, launch a scrappy side project, and learn from AI native peers.
Declining CMO tenure and marketing's absence from boards reflect a leadership problem, not a marketing one. Creating and delivering customer value is the core of the business, so marketing cannot sit in a silo. The CEO must own marketing at a strategic level to align brand, product, pricing, and customer experience with company goals. Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos treated marketing as inseparable from innovation and culture. When the CEO champions the customer, insight flows across functions.
Anthropic claims that DeepSeek, Moonshot, and MiniMax used approximately 24,000 fraudulent accounts to train their own chatbots. The process of distillation, where data from one AI system is used to train another, is common in the AI industry. However, Anthropic's terms forbid the practice and also do not allow its technologies to be used in China. Anthropic has called on government officials and other AI companies to help prevent Chinese companies from distilling American models.
SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic are set to IPO at an unprecedented scale. Typical IPOs offer 15% to 25% of their shares to public markets, which creates enough liquidity for price discovery while allowing founders and early investors to maintain control. At standard float percentages, these three companies need to raise $432 billion to $576 billion from public markets in a single quarter. The entire US IPO market raised $469 billion between 2016 and 2025. It is likely these companies will debut with smaller floats.
The biggest projects in geothermal started construction around 18 months ago. The industry executed well enough to get a shot at true commercial-scale deployments. The next few years will determine if the wave of projects can lead to the success metric of '10% of electricity generation'. While the first version of the technology seems possible, subsequent versions and improvements that lead to scalability will be much more challenging. The leading companies are still going strong, which is promising.
Attention has started turning to using AI to probe the possibility of digitizing smell. Researchers hope that the ability to program smell will illuminate the many mysteries of olfaction. Digital scent could have many practical and quite profitable applications. This article looks at the state of the technology and introduces the various possible avenues for research.
The line between technical and non-technical work is being redrawn. The winners will be the ones who think like builders. Non-technical people should try to take on more 'engineering' tasks as AI makes tools more powerful and accessible. Engineers should use the same tools to turn themselves into full-stack shipping machines. Companies are investing billions to make engineers more powerful, so take advantage of that investment.
Coding agents have dramatically dropped the cost of producing code. The ability to run parallel agents has compounded this effect. However, delivering good code still has a cost. Developers still need to ensure that the produced code is good code. The challenge is to develop new personal and organizational habits to respond to the new reality of agentic engineering.
A recently published paper called 'The 2028 Global Intelligence Crisis' explores a hypothetical world in which there is an aggressive AI build-out and adoption of AI agents. In this world, unemployment is high despite elevated nominal growth and productivity, and the stock market tumbles due to credit stress from companies laid low by AI metastasizing. It illustrates how AI becoming good could leave many industries vulnerable. This post provides a summary of the paper along with a link to the original.
Many jobs in tech aren't that rewarding anymore. AI has made it even worse. However, leaving your current job without a plan right now isn't a good idea because every CEO wants to get leaner. Companies want to increase AI use rather than hire more people, so the scales are weighted against employees. Use the time in your current job to learn and grow more until you have a better place to go to.
