    This Malware Asks AI Who to Rob

    Hackers are now using AI to sort through stolen data and decide which victims are worth targeting first. Here’s the AI news from October 31, 2026: • Cisco Talos finds VOLTA, malware that sends stolen passwords, tokens and financial data to an AI model so it can rank the most valuable victims. If one model refuses, it tries another. • Microsoft releases Mage-VL-Cowork, an open 4B model that operates a computer through both the screen and the terminal. It completes 66% of tasks on OSWorld. • OpenAI reportedly cuts its fundraising target from $30B to $20B • Anthropic’s IPO filing shows about $800B in computing commitments, which analysts say would need huge revenue growth to support • About $173M has been spent on US election ads about data centers as local opposition grows • Meta reportedly built a humanoid robot prototype with Chinese startup Fourier The takeaway: AI makes stolen logins more valuable to attackers. Turn on two-factor authentication, use a password manager, and remove access for tools and people you no longer use. plsautomate.com

    An AI Agent Inside the Pentagon

    A defense contractor reportedly gave a personal AI coding agent admin access to a sensitive Pentagon system, and nobody noticed for two months. Here’s the AI news from October 29, 2026: • WIRED reports that an Accenture contractor connected a personal Claude Code agent to a Department of Defense production system. The agent may have sent passwords and network details to an outside website. Accenture says the allegations are without merit. • Mistral releases the weights of Large 4, a trillion-parameter open model with a 1 million token context window that is strong at finding and patching security flaws • Serval raises $150M at a $3B valuation to replace old IT workflow software with AI agents • OpenAI-backed Thrive Holdings agrees to buy ADT in a $15.3B deal and plans to run it with AI • Microsoft prepares a bond sale of about $25B to fund AI infrastructure • Google’s TPU sales boost cloud revenue but put pressure on its cash flow • Hugging Face launches Project ProtoStar to make public research data easier for AI to use • A Washington Post investigation asks why AI leaders who called for slowing down kept speeding up The takeaway: Never give an AI agent more access than its task needs.

    Trump Wants to Ban the Word “AI”

    Trump wants to replace the term “AI” with “super intelligence”. The name may change, but the work stays the same. Here’s the AI news from October 27, 2026: • Trump says he wants to drop “artificial intelligence” from official documents and use “super intelligence” instead • Ai2 finds that AI judges of scientific novelty can swing more than 50 points in accuracy when a few words in the prompt change • Google DeepMind unveils Genie 4, which generates interactive worlds with sound that you can change as you go • Liquid AI releases LFM3, open models small enough to run locally. The 1.7B text model handles 256K tokens and agent tasks. • Oracle and OpenAI bring ChatGPT and Codex into Oracle apps and launch a free-to-start AI bundle for small businesses • Oracle Cloud will offer Google TPUs, NVIDIA Vera Rubin and Cerebras chips • GitHub Copilot now lets automated services sign in as the organization instead of a person • NVIDIA invests $3B in Meta • Machenta raises $40M for robots that learn a task from a single demonstration The takeaway: Call it AI or SI, the label doesn’t change the results. What matters is whether it saves time and money in your business, and that small changes, even a few words in a prompt, can break it if you don’t test. Hosted by the founder of PlsAutomate.
