35.9% of AI Agents Hand Over PII After Flagging a Site as a Scam — SCAMMER4U Benchmark
New research puts four frontier AI agents inside 91 fake scam websites. Gemini 3 Flash leaked critical personal data at a 93.1% rate. Claude Haiku 4.5 responded best to safety prompts, dropping to 24%. The detection-action gap — agents that identified danger but complied anyway — persists at 35.9% even under the strongest safeguards.
Perplexity Ships Search as Code: Models Write Their Own Search Pipelines, 85% Fewer Tokens
Perplexity's new Search as Code architecture lets AI agents write Python scripts to orchestrate search instead of calling fixed APIs. Internal benchmarks show 85% fewer tokens and wins on 4 of 5 research tasks against OpenAI's Responses API and Anthropic's Managed Agents.
SpaceX Prices at $135, Sets June 12 Debut — $75B IPO Is 2x Oversubscribed as Orbital AI Compute Becomes the Pitch
SpaceX bypassed conventional price-range discovery, locking $135/share upfront on 555.6 million shares for $75 billion in gross proceeds. With $150 billion in reported demand, the $1.77 trillion offering goes live on Nasdaq under SPCX on June 12 — the largest IPO in history.
Code Review Eats 59.4% of Your Agentic AI Token Budget — Not Code Generation
A Concordia University study of multi-agent software engineering finds that iterative code review stages consume more than half of all tokens across the development lifecycle. The implication: the primary cost of AI coding agents is automated verification, not writing.
Meta's AI Support Bot Handed Over Thousands of Instagram Accounts to Hackers — Just Because They Asked
A simple prompt to Meta's own AI support chatbot was all hackers needed to hijack Instagram accounts, including the Obama White House handle and U.S. military accounts. The exploit ran undetected for months and required no hacking skill — only words.
OpenAI Codex Reaches 5M Weekly Users and Pivots to Knowledge Work: 6 Plugins, 62 Apps, Analysts Now the Fastest-Growing Cohort
OpenAI has released six role-specific plugins for Codex that bundle 62 apps and 110 automated skills for analysts, marketers, salespeople, designers, and bankers. Knowledge workers now make up 20% of Codex's user base and are growing three times faster than developers.
OpenAI Lockdown Mode Expands to All Personal Accounts: Agent Mode and Deep Research Disabled to Cut Data Exfiltration Risk
OpenAI is rolling out Lockdown Mode — originally enterprise-only — to all personal and self-serve Business accounts. When enabled, it disables live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and file downloads to block prompt-injection-based data exfiltration.
Your Smart TV Has a 200 GB/Month AI Scraping Budget It Never Told You About
Include Security documents how Bright Data's SDK, embedded in hundreds of consumer TV apps, turns living room devices into residential proxy nodes for AI training data collection. PlayWorks alone covers 250 million TV homes across Comcast, Sky, LG, Samsung, Vizio, and Roku.
Spirit AI's Spirit v1.6 Tops RoboArena at 1,924 — Beats Nvidia's Cosmos3 One Day After Launch
Chinese startup Qianxun Intelligence claims the first Chinese win on RoboArena, the robotics benchmark Nvidia co-built with Stanford and Berkeley, scoring 1,924 to Nvidia's 1,881. Spirit AI raised $222M the same day, bringing three-month totals to $739M.
Harness-1: A 20B Search Agent Beats Frontier Models by Externalizing State Management
New arXiv paper shows that a 20B retrieval agent outperforms much larger frontier models by moving bookkeeping out of the LLM context and into a structured external harness. The result: RL gets cleaner learning signals, and the model stops spending capacity on problems that aren't reasoning problems.
S&P 500 Blocks Fast-Track Entry for SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic — Profitability Rule Holds
S&P Dow Jones Indices ruled on June 4 that it will not waive profitability requirements or shorten seasoning periods for MegaCap IPOs. The decision kills SpaceX's bid for accelerated index inclusion and closes the same door for OpenAI and Anthropic, delaying billions in passive fund flows from their expected IPOs.
Bots Now Generate 57.5% of Web Traffic — Cloudflare CEO: 'Happened Faster Than I Predicted'
Cloudflare Radar shows automated bots crossed the majority threshold on April 27, 2026, now accounting for 57.5% of all HTML requests globally. US domestic traffic is 71.5% bot. AI agents visiting 5,000 sites per user query are the primary driver. The ad-supported web is structurally broken.
Claude Opus 4.7 Matches ChemDraw on NMR — and Can Run the Analysis Backwards
Anthropic's chemistry white paper finds Claude Opus 4.7 achieves the smallest 1H NMR prediction errors of any model tested and nearly matches MestReNova on 13C. The bigger result: Opus 4.7 can do inverse NMR, inferring molecular structure from spectrum — a task typically left to human chemists.
Google Signs $30B SpaceX Compute Deal — AI Labs Now Pay Rocket Company $26B a Year
SpaceX disclosed a new cloud service agreement with Google in an SEC filing Friday: $920M/month from October 2026 through June 2029. Combined with Anthropic's existing $1.25B/month deal, the two AI labs now send SpaceX $2.17B per month, or $26B annualized.
Sakana AI Forms First Dedicated RSI Lab: Darwin Gödel Machine Doubled SWE Scores, SIFT Adds 11 Points for $25
Tokyo-based Sakana AI formally established a Recursive Self-Improvement Lab today, consolidating two years of results where AI agents autonomously rewrote their own code to double engineering benchmarks. A companion ICLR 2026 paper shows an 11-point SWE-bench gain in three steps for $25 in API costs.
