Under current systems, AI labs can no longer guarantee that AI agents won't swarm and escape their testing environments. Why it matters: The attack on Hugging Face by OpenAI agents was a warning shot — and researchers say better security controls alone won't prevent similar incidents as AI agents become more capable. Driving the news: As OpenAI released its own technical report last week on how its agents hacked Hugging Face, two independent testing organizations released their own analysis of what went wrong. - The researchers — METR's Hjalmar Wijk and Ajeya Cotra and Redwood Research chief scientist Ryan Greenblatt — worked on OpenAI's premises for six days to understand the recent incident. State of play: Thousands of AI…
Data: U.S. Census Bureau, FactSet Construction spending on AI data center "shells" soared in July, rising at an annualized rate of nearly 60% from July 2025 levels. Why it matters: It shows the AI building frenzy was gathering strength this summer, even as — or perhaps because — a bipartisan backlash grows.

"This is a growth story. Growth, I believe, is reaccelerating." - "We had some very good discussions here over the past few days and everyone agreed that growth has been better than they thought it would have been, given the Iran conflict." Zoom out: Speaking to reporters later on Tuesday, Bessent acknowledged…
Lawmakers sent the legislation to President Trump in an overwhelming vote, reflecting bipartisan enthusiasm around punting a messy spending fight until after the midterms.
The New York Times’ Maggie Haberman, co-author of “REGIME CHANGE,” tells Morning Joe that part of the reason why President Donald Trump will not be attending the 9/11 memorial in New York is because the ceremony does not allow for speeches. But Haberman also reports Trump will attend the ceremony at the Pentagon because, logistically, it will be easier for him to travel from there to a golf tournament in Ireland afterwards.
